1) They are Noisy
I am not saying that all of them are, I wasn’t, but the fact is that most of them will be constantly mouthing off about something. They have questions coming out the ass every day, day after day. No single thing is too small to be worthy of comment, no problem too insignificant to whine about, and then there’s the nagging. They nag. You give in once and after that they never let up.
2) Social Responsibility
You are not supposed to leave them alone for extended periods of time according to law, so you have a commitment to always providing people for them to be with, and sometimes to be with them yourself. You have to watch them in stores, keep them in sight wherever you are, and you absolutely cannot be mean to them in public for fear of winding up before a judge. How your child behaves will reflect directly upon you and your character. They say one curse word and people assume that you speak in Two Live Crew lyrics.
3) They Are an Economic Drain
Food, clothes, school-supplies, tuition, school-projects, toys, fast-food, prescriptions, not to mention having to pay for a large enough living space for two adults plus however many of them those two adults choose to have. If you rent, then there is always the potential of them destroying/something that you will have to pay for.
4) You Have to Teach them Things
You may or may not have figured this out: They are born knowing nothing. A blank slate. This means that you have years, possibly decades before they have anything insightful or interesting to say. But still, you will be a bad parent if you don’t listen to them. You are obligated to listen to all kinds of nonsensical irrelevant crap, all kinds of worthless interests and recaps of the Hannah Montana marathon they had on TV last weekend. You are obligated to tell them about life, sex, how to spend money, hygiene, calculus etc.
5) The TV Shows and Books you will have to Endure
A big part of knowing nothing is poor taste. Taste is a product of experience and therefore there will be a considerable length of time before they like things that make sense. You are obligated to read stories to them unless you want them whining about it when they grow up, you are also obligated to surrender at least one of the TVs in your house to the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon for several hours each day.
6) Their Friends
If your kids are normal they will at some point make friends, which means that you will not only have their presence to endure, but an assortment of other people’s failures as well. They will, perhaps, invite them home, at which point you may have to feed these other children, and endure their noise.
7) Constant Illness
Kids, especially when small, are walking petri-dishes. Nothing guarantees repeated stomach-flus, colds, and assorted random illnesses like being in the presence of a small child for hours at a time. Have a co-worker who is always sniffling or running to the bathroom? They either have a cocaine problem or they have a small child.
8)They Attract the Ill-Will of Strangers
Nothing in the world will get you more dirty looks than a poorly trained child. For some reason whole segments of the American population either have not yet had children, or will never have children, these people will not be sympathetic to your plight. Children to them are mere annoying strangers being inflicted upon them by you.
9)Once they are Born you are Pretty much Stuck with them
Under normal circumstances anyway. You don’t get to give them back, you don’t get to pass them on to somebody else short of going to prison or dying. If they are ugly or stupid, you will have to endure them for a long time to come.
10) They are Ungrateful
Kids in America grow up with a sense of being entitled to good parenting, as if it were something they earned in a previous life and have now come to collect. No parent, however is good enough, and they usually cannot find it in themselves to see how much worse it could be. They feel entitled to your time, the contents of your wallet and the remote control. And what do they give back? Maybe you will get to see your grandkids every now and then, and maybe, just maybe, they will pick a good nursing home for you when you are too old to take care for yourself.

This attitude that you're being selfish if you don't want to procreate is hilariously wrong-headed.


If you're not sacrificing yourself, and your time, and your personal pleasure, for the welfare and survival of SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EXIST, that is not "selfish".


What's truly selfish is when you bring another un-needed, unwanted LIFE into the world, CREATE it, out of nothing, creating another consciousness that will suffer so much throughout it's short/long life on this God-forsaken s***-hole of a planet, just because you want a little mixed clone of yourself and the person you wanted to have sex with, CREATING a creature to love you, mainly only because of it's position of complete dependence on you......so you can dress it, and make it do things.


Welcome to Bizarro World, 'cause the Selfish people are clearly, CLEARLY the people who create a human LIFE out of nothing just to gratify themselves.

yeah umm that's not even remotely close to what he said, but you've obviously got an axe to grind here, so I wont ruin your rant about your skewed views on having kids....
 
12) they might get shot in the head by a cop trying to kill a snake
13) you might accidentally run over them with your minivan without even knowing it
14) the other parent might sexually abuse your kid and get their head blown off with a shotgun



Says who!:cmad:

Because I want in!:cmad:

It was remotely close. :o

I wasn't talking to him though,..."self-centered" reminded me of two obese hog-women b****es who were talking smack about a co-worker 'cause she was too skinny (Which, judging from their bodies, leads me to believe that the co-worker was probably 8 pounds overweight), and going on and on about what selfish, subhuman ass****s she and her husband were for not having kids yet.

:huh:

And I'm like, uh, Why DO couples have kids?

Is it because it's a necessity?
There's a gun to their head?

No.
It's 'cause they WANT to.
It's entirely a selfish act. :huh:
