Wow...Washington Post says Parenting is About the Worst Thing that can Happen to You

As a parent of 4 I'd have to agree..

Love them more than words, but it's a hard job. Damn hard.

It probably does seem that way to a generation who have been raised to think they can be 12 years old their entire lives and the whole world revolves around them.

When you become a real adult, like our parents (or actually grandparents for many as this has been going on for a couple of generations) or great grandparents, you understand that having children involves sacrifice. You're literally creating the next generation of people, THE FUTURE, who will take over for you and continue the society and culture. It's the only REAL FUTURE any of us have in the physical world. It's an awesome responsibility and a great one. But if you're treated like a kid all your life and you never really grow up...you don't understand what raising kids is about. Hell, you don't even understand what MARRIAGE is all about, which explains the "gay marriage" phenomenon.

And so cultures die out because the majority have trouble focusing on anything beyond themselves, their needs and the immediate present. They can't think into the future or imagine what it might be. That's what you're creating with your kids today.

This beautiful new person seeing earth for the first time....

Still beats dying alone....

You can still die alone even if you have kids.

There will always be hardships, especially if you make children with just anyone. I know. I have tried hard to not use myself, or anyone else, as an example to make points on here, but it would seem that the majority of people here have trouble supporting arguments without that little crutch. They also seem to be very quick to agree when the format is used. Must be in the programming.

Just suffice it to say that I have 4 children. Three of those are with my ex wife. She made a pretty good living off of me. She hurt my children and she tortured me. So did the system. I would not ever say that I want to be back to the time I spent with her, but I am glad it happened because of them.

I have realized something. If I were to leave you to your "thinking", your genes will die out. It might turn out to be the right thing for us all. Anyone who would allow themselves to live such a shallow existence that they believe money, material possessions, casual sex, and dead lions are more important than human life should not be allowed to pass their beliefs on to children. It is child abuse.

NO, you people with no children must run is small social circles, every year you get older you get more pathetic, posting on here, on Facebook, practically begging for people to hang out with, while everyone else has families, I agree having children is the hardest thing you will ever do, the worry, the fear, the heartache, but, the good time outway the bad, USUALLY, I have 4 kids, damn near lost 2 of them to Meth, but guess what, even those 2 turned it around, daughter is 27, just bought a house, paid damn near half down, don't know how, i can't save money for crap, I used to set up nights while everyone else was asleep, no scarier feeling than knowing a house full of people are depending on you....

Perhaps you should include on your gene extinction list those that do such a poor job of selecting a wife that is capable of "hurting my children and torturing me."

Too bad the biology doesn't work out that way. Did you ever consider that your kids are 50% the genes of your ex?
And maybe, just maybe, just consider the fact that your genes may or may not be that noteworthy. It would take quite a bit of ego to think that my genes (or yours, or any one individual in particular) will have any impact on the future world.

More NWO propaganda to future erode the family unit.

Propaganda in favor of selfness and egoism...

I have no clue what you are attempting to say here. I see specific words, like "genes" and "biology", but the other words you chose to surround them with only served to cloud your point. I think you are attempting to speak on the subject of science. I apologize in advance, but I do not take science lessons from those who can not, at least, construct a sentence in a way that can be deciphered. If you would like to try to "educate" me again, I will attempt to decode whatever you are able to type. Just bear in mind, my reading and comprehension skills are limited by my lack of common core education....
