How to properly raise a child.

[Minnas]

Y'know, I kinda thought you were making an offer.

And if I am?

[South East Europe]

I view children as an inconvenience at the minimum, an obstacle otherwise. I will never reproduce as I have no patience for creatures like children.

If, by unfortunate circumstance, I were to reproduce, I'd raise my child as an effective clone of myself.

I would hope that if you were to reproduce, the child would be put up for adoption.

Y'know, I kinda thought you were making an offer.

And if I am?

...no, I can't say it. I promised to behave.

And if I am?

Someone would probably accept.

Come on, do tell. You already posted.

[Waterlow]

Yeah, it's something I feel quite strongly about as I spent my teenage years reading a newspaper that told me women like my mother were effectively the cause of all that was wrong with society. Luckily I had good reason not to believe such horseshit. It shocks me sometimes to look back at how venomous prevailing attitudes towards single mothers were.

This works. We'll do this. Others...well...I won't mention names, but others might make a request for video documentation.

Want to be my baby daddy?

Hate to kill this little lovefest, but she's 16.

That's the nicest thing anybody's said to me in a while.

I'm aware, which is why I didn't make any offers myself.

[Galloism]

Sorry.

I didn't really think you would have such a side.

Tends to happen to people as they get older.

I would like to be a parent too one day.

If I decide to do that (as opposed to taking up orders and leaving town), I only hope I won't be a failure as a father.

Children are nothing less than a gift. I pity any children that wind up with you as a parent. From what you're hinting at here, they'll wind up abused and/or disowned if they deviate in the slightest from what Daddy Dearest wants them to be.

Some people are really fuckin' stupid... and whoever wrote those stories is the pinnacle of stupid.

14-year-olds can marry in NY with parental consent. But that probably only works if both bride and groom are 14.

Sexual orientation isn't a choice, but I'd condemn it regardless should my child come to me saying he's gay. Other than that, how I raise him/her would depend on the gender of the child.

[Ledarre]

I don't really know... Although I would say reinforcing gender identity is actually good for the child, since it reflects societies norms and values. However as I've said I'm not really sure.

If that's your attitude, I pity any children you may produce.

Spare me.

No, I wouldn't abuse a child. I might ignore it if I found it uninteresting, which is why I'd raise it to be a clone of me.

I don't quite get what you mean Ledarre.

And S/He would probably end up committing suicide. Would you really want that on your conscience?

oh fuck. Being possessed by morbo the news monster. hold on!

GENDER IDENTITY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY

Oh. That's just what I was going to say anyway, Morbo.

Which is a form of abuse. It's called emotional abuse.

Heterosexist bigots (in general) either don't care or would celebrate it (à la Fred Phelps). *nods*

I think you need a psychiatric evaluation. Ignoring a child because you find Her/Him uninteresting is a form of abuse. If you don't think it is, I suggest you seek mental help.

A suicide is the fault of the person commiting the suicide, not the fault of the non-supportive people in their life.
