Thank you Great Day...I appreciate it but I am not worried about her view points...she wants understanding but will not extend it herself. Just selfish, like most children.

Interesting you welcome a nonjudgmental point of view but can not extend one yourself...

Oh I can...now whether I not I choose not to...that's a totally different case.

Since the post where I thanked you, many comments have been exchanged and I'm no longer willing to be nonjudgemental. [Something about that word just seems wrong...but whatever.]

In any case, let's just all agree to disagree.
Have a good life.

So, your values are so transient that they change in a matter of 1 day? You no longer value my nonjudgmental views because SOMEONE ELSE said something you don't like??? That is ridiculous.

Do you kick your dog when you come in the door after a bad day as well?

I value your nonjudgemental views.
I don't wish any ill will towards you or anything.
The moment I lost it is when YOU talked about my age, me getting out of pull ups, etc.
It's all good though.
Let's just agree to disagree and leave it alone.

Kick my dog? What for? He did nothing to me.

Please go back and look at the posts...you attacked me long before I ever came on here tonight. I never said a word to you.

I did nothing to you, that's why I asked about you kicking your innocent dog...

There was, and is, a tremendous lack of maturity in your posts - hence the comments regarding your age.

You will find that, over the next few years, that you will change your mind, on many subjects, many times - us "older" folks know this - for we have been through it.

Just like others have said, this is a complex topic. As far as I'm concerned, I feel that just like in the case of animals there are entirely to many children that are being brought into this world and not enough people to take care of them.


The entire way humans use to raise children use to very different a short time ago. Were Grandma and aunts and uncles took part in the hole ordeal and passed down child rearing secrets that went back for generations, people now send there children off to daycare centers with total strangers because they are too busy to raise there own child or they moved far away from family. Hell, your modern school system is there to teach your own child because YOU don't do it. I see a serious problem with this, do you? How is it that a school system knows whats best for YOUR OWN SEED (child) to learn? That's your own flesh and blood, but people send him/her off to college as if somehow the Government can do a better job!


If you ask me, I feel that our culture is highly sexualized. We use the most sacred act that two people can do with each other and use it to sell a car, or a burger and you wonder why children are having children.


I look at these high school girls going to and from school and I can not believe that there parents let them out the house?!! Some girls walk to school with the shorts so tight and short you can see the bottom of there butt cheeks. Why don't the teachers send these children home?


Anyway, life in 2008 is not the same as in 1950. Many of the people I know struggle more, work more hours, or worry more because they now have a child. Many couples work two jobs "each" to support each other and there children, but still struggle. They cant even buy a home! The Writing was on the wall a LONG time ago: There are no more blue color jobs to live a cushy middle class life and people NEED to understand that before they jump into the "I want a child" ordeal OR i want to play around with the opposite sex phase.


Lets face it, life is hard, but the hole key that is not taught in school is, DON'T MAKE LIFE HARDER ON YOURSELF! Your own worse enemy could be looking at you in the mirror each morning.

Perhaps ,those woman who absolutely dont want children, should, think about that a little more when they are about to commit the act that results in pregnancy!

Yes, and Im sure married couples are going to refrain from "committing the act that results in pregnancy".
Bull.

You're sounding rather self-righteous, dearie.
Just because you might not have done the horizontal mambo for awhile doesnt mean every other woman and her spouse are going to refrain from it.
And also, as far as a "decision of convienience", YOU try squeezing something the size of a watermelon out of something the size of a walnut and see if YOU dont want it at your convienience. You'd also see why a great many of us dont want to " give birth to a living human being, our own flesh and blood."
