It was kind of creepy to read. To me it was the epitome of "I don't know what to do to feel whole so I'll have kids" and the implication that everyone else is selfish or unfulfilled if they prefer or prioritize something else.


Creepy indeed. What happens if #2 has kids... and he's still unfulfilled?


On another selfish part it sounds like a lot of people who have kids say: "if you don't who will take care of you?" So...You having kids so they can wipe your ass when you are old? I rather be dead than be a major pain in the ass and bother my kids when they have their own problems (their own kids perhaps, crazy work, maybe illness and their own interests) and not be able to function on my own. And if you take care of yourself now, maybe you won't be sick, miserable fuck and have enough money to live on your own or have a med-girl visit you time to time.

Send them back to the factory and try something else?

[Taken literally, it's of course a joke; but taken less literally, it's a bit scary... oO; ]


Creepy I guess. But not uncommon, and I don't hold it against him.

Ultimately we have to procreate to continue to species. And I for one can't claim to never have felt those social pressures or biological impulses.


If I accepted "I was taught it and ignorantly don't question it" as an excuse for the stupid things people say, I wouldn't have nearly the problems with religious people and political opinions that I do.
