What's So Terrible About Kids?

(1/25) > >>

lottie:
Okay, I GET that not everyone wants kids, and am fully in support of people making their own life choices, no matter how they differ from mine.  But why the hate on kids?  Are they really that bad?  I think it seems  a little disturbing to insulate your life so that it only includes your generation, except for occasional brief appearances from your parents.  Just like multi-culturalism is important, ageism is bad too.

And it's fine that Jacques doesn't really want them in his comic, and doesn't see it happening for his characters, they are his, I just don't get the total vitriol.  Or maybe it's because we've really only heard from Dora, who is ardently anti-child?  And I'm fine with one anti-child character, but a whole community of them seems... unlikely?  Scary? 

Here's hoping this doesn't bring out only the people like Dora who despise anyone under the drinking age line, telling me all about every horrible experience they've ever had because some obnoxious breeder had the gall to bring their children in public.  I'm actually interested in a little more of a nuanced response on whether the issue constitutes ageism.

Redball:
As I read the thread, I wondered in how many ways the attitudes of the posters differ from others of the same age/gender/nationality who aren't members of the forum. Quite a bit, perhaps.

Thrudd:
Sad but true none the same, but isn't this just more of the same where personal choice is pretty much centered around the self with no actual thought given to being centered around someone else who would depend on you implicitly for everything?
Children are Expensive as an excuse? That is more telling on personal priorities than anything.

The sad possible connotation is that the stupid and ignorant that breed like fruit flies [those breed till they poison their food source] can and will out-breed those of us with some modicum of responsibility?
I only partly recall a sci-fi short novella or three based on such a premise. All were outer-limits dark IIRC.
Even more telling is to take a look at the 0.1% and see that they also do breed.
So why are we effectively eliminating ourselves from the gene pool?
I am beginning to wonder, in that conspiracy way, if it is just another part of the eventual segregation of humanity into tiers with the top tier completely cut off from the rest.

Let the conspiracy diatrides begin .... Mwhahahahahahahaaahahaaaah heeee *cough**cough**cough* haaaahaaaahaaaahaaaa ....

Is it cold in here?:
Some people have a neurological need for the structure and predictability that children are so well designed for destroying.

Oh, and welcome, new person!
