Haven't Americans, perhaps particularly middle-class white Americans, been going down
this path for some time, along with those in Europe, who aren't even having replacement-rate
children?

I was agreeing with this, even with the 'side affects' until they called them assholes.

Child free does not automatically make one an asshole.

[cursethedark.livejournal.com]

It does if you already have kids, and just get ignore them. Which was what that joke meant.

"Please tell your doctor if you already have kids before you try Not Having Kids, because this may result in being a neglectful asshole."

[mckavian.livejournal.com]

Oh. I guess I missed hearing that part of it. I was not giving it my full attention. You are correct, that not paying attention to your children does make you a neglectful all asshole.

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

lol. your attention paying skills are in question.
Do you have children, sir? ;)

[mckavian.livejournal.com]

Um...did you say something?

Actually, I do. One son, 19, and the other and a daughter who will be three in April.

That sounds like yo are clearing your throat. Was that Phlemish?

Q: How many ADHD kids does it take to change a light bulb?

No, it was Michael Steele-ish. Via the daily show. "eeshka bibble" as i recall was one of the Wyatt Cenac as Michael Steele-isms.

"Child free does not automatically make one an asshole."

Except for most people who populate internet "child-free" forums. THOSE folks are, pretty much, assholes.

[mckavian.livejournal.com]

I generally try to avoid extremists of all points of view. Not just child free, fundamentalist weather religious or political, or anybody who's going to demonize you because you don't agree with them. That means I try to avoid all assholes of all stripes.

And if you do not agree with me, yer gonna burn in HELL!!!! (please note the sarcasm)

fundamentalist weather

Is this when gay pride marches are cancelled due to rain?

[mckavian.livejournal.com]

Only if it is not raining men.

It's a phase for many people, probably due to factors in their environments.

The toddler across the courtyard from me that has no verbal skills and communicates solely by crying and howling would be an example of the sort of thing that used to trigger me. Now I just pity his parents.

When I used to go to church, there was one set of parents that I have total respect for. They deliberately set out to adopt one of the most broken babies they could find. They found an autistic crack baby.

I know I would have a hard enough time with an autistic child alone, but one further damaged by the mothers use of crack and coming out the womb as an addict would make it just that much harder.

I know I would not be able to do it, especially as they already had 2 or 3 kids to begin with. THOSE people, I will listen to.

[torylltales.livejournal.com]

Wow. Much respect.

edit: no, I did not intend to reference doge. X| Completely unintentional, and my respect for those people is entirely sincere.

[mckavian.livejournal.com]

No worries, chum, I did not read it any other way.

I used to ask people if they were crack babies until I met one. It became universally less funny once you meet one.

Just like my best friend growing up had a moderately autistic brother. I do not make fun of people with autism.

Pretty much everyone else is fair game, though. :D
