[QUOTE=mswas] You’re an idiot who has obviously never been to NYC. But you can register any complaints regarding your irrelevant non-sequitur in the [appropriate thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=480237) What I choose to do in situations involving bovine dumbasses is irrelevant to whether or not ‘Crotch Fruit’ is derogatory to children. Clearly you have a personal identification with the hatred of children that renders you subhuman, but I don’t think this applies to the OP. I was just curious about why she used such derogatory terms to refer to the children. They are innocent victims. It is not their cute little faults that this woman at her office is a bitch. Won’t somebody please think of the children. [/QUOTE] Meow. I hate to break it to you, but I have been to NYC a lot of times. I have friends who live there who have avoided becoming frothing assholes who manhandle their fellow citizens. Have you ever thought of theater, because your penchant for the dramatic shouldn’t go unused. I don’t like children but now that means HATRED of children and makes me subhuman? Shouldn’t you save your overreacting bile for people who actually harm children and not people who choose not to have them? I really hope the mother of your daughter is a far more stable influence than you apparently are. Nothing like going to Defcon 1 over next to nothing. Save your insanity for when some special New Yorker gives her a hearty shove on her pwecious backside when she stands still for too long. Have a nice night, schnookums! ---

It is possible to announce that you don’t want kids without also saying that kids are horrible. Of course, the members of this board don’t seem to think that tact is much of a virtue, except in other people. ---

These phrases are in no way intended as insults towards any crotch fruit/children you may have. Also, FWIW, I have lived in NYC for a while now and have never pushed, shoved, or yelled at a stranger for any reason on the subway. ---

[QUOTE=mswas] If you stop in front of me in the subway at rush hour have plenty of room to move into the train and I have 5 people piling into my back, I’m going to shove you. As soon as the door closes you would be welcome to explain to me how I am the ape . [/QUOTE] Oh i don’t think thats what I’d be explaining to you. I’d be explaining to you why you are face first on the floor in a pain compliance hold and how I would be turning you over to a peace officer to take you before a magistrate for assault by contact…and how I would use what ever force I deemed neccesary to detain you as allowed by the code of criminal procedure. At least thats what happened last time someone shoved me. They got a fine out of it, and me and the cops got a good laugh. ---

I’m pretty sure I don’t want kids, so I’ve had these questions a lot. (My folks are cool about it now since my bro and sis in law had three, thank Og.) BUT I do want to foster in a few years. No idea why I don’t want my own kids yet want four or five living with me anyway, but the :dubious: on people’s faces when I tell them that usually shuts them up. Then if they keep saying, ‘That’s so weird! You don’t want your own kids but you want to foster!’, I just smile sweetly and say, ‘Yep, I don’t understand it either.’ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-are-you-to-decide-what-i-do-with-my-life-bitch/460726.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-are-you-to-decide-what-i-do-with-my-life-bitch/460726.md?page=5)
