And the young parents aren't always the people you would expect. Sometimes when I find out someone has a baby, my first reaction is "Who had sex with them?"

My peer that I posted about on the quoted post is attractive, but I thought she was a good girl. Apparently not.

If you're 30 and work a successful career, go ahead and have a baby if that's what you want. Although just because you're successful doesn't mean you need to have a baby. I'd prefer if everyone stopped having babies. But if you're going to have a baby, you should at least do it (no pun intended) at an age/income where you're fit for parenthood. It peeves me how a lot of the babies these days are born to people that shouldn't be parents. The movie Idiocracy is correct.

There's no way someone my age is fit for parenthood. I heard someone say having a baby at 20 is not as bad as having a baby at 16. But I disagree with that. I'm almost 20 and I'm just as unfit for parenthood now as I was at 16.

Pet peeve: People that bring up a controversial subject and then act surprised when someone disagrees with them

I would often run into trolls when I used to frequent the Politics and Other Controversies Forum and found that if I placed them on ignore, it would make for a more enjoyable posting experience especially if they were particularly argumentative. The worse thing you could do when dealing with an internet troll is to feed them so refraining from getting sucked into arguing with them is the best course of action. No need to allow trolls to get under your skin.

Sitting down at a nice restaurant for dinner only to have the person behind you cough and hack the entire time, eventually hocking up a loogi. wtf. Stay home if you have issues like that. No one wants to hear it while they eat.

That is eeewwwweeee GROSS!

I had someone coughing and it sounded awfully full of phlegm behind me today at church. I always get nervous about getting sick due to not having health insurance.

All churches are like that. Something I don't miss about church. Haven't been to church since 2007 (and for someone my age, that's a decent portion of my life).
