Perhaps sex and having babies is just a correlation.


Indeed! I've heard of many people who have had sex and not had a baby!

Correlation does not imply causation!

I would definitely go for option one: More time for gaming and reading.

And that's just initial cost! That's not taking into acount the upkeep required.
It's like...
A Bugatti Veyron costs $2,000,000, but after ten years you've spent $10,000,000 on it.

And after ten years, you have an ugly disappointment, since you can only brag to your friends about it for a few weeks until it gets old.
Well, at least a Bugatti Veyron doesn't date the wrong type of people, get drunk, get arrested or drops out of high school.

You are supposed to let your children ride you. Either horsey or piggy back.

The difference between a Bugatti Veyron and a pile of dead children is that I don't have a Bugatti Veyron in my garage.

I don't see how being flung around at high speeds is more fun than pretending to be horse for a giggling child. At least I would still move under my own volition instead of being at the mercy of a machine.

'Ride' does not necessarily mean 'sit in and drive with'.

A friend of mine lived fast and loose, and then, to his shock, at age 30 found
"the One", somebody his cynical heart didn't think existed, his real true love!

He cried on my shoulder. "I want to give her all that I am, but I've already given too much of it away. She deserves better. Maybe it's too late, I am not complete enough for her, I spread myself so thin....Maybe I should just set her free, to find someone more worthy."

True story, I swear.

Yeah. They've already been replaced in the army, in most police forces around the world and in transport.
What do they have left? Just that - don't take it away from them.

Most people don't own a horse for their child to play with. Plus you don't get child-parent bonding that way.
