happy birthday bro

I'd love to have some kids. I'd frolic with them, nurture them, and when I get tired, I'll roast them on a spit.

No filipino

As always I support the idea that the vast majority of getbiggers should not have kids. ;D

imagine we all had kids and they just inherited our accounts.

No kids for me, thank you. I already have my hands full on raising Phreak... Cats are easier, they don't leave wet towels on the bathroom floor, or empty food containers on the kitchen counter.
-
No I don't. I like kids, but I do not want to have my own.
Not sure I'd like a new person to go through a "human condition" just because of my egoism. I may have some day for some woman if she'll insist and I'll take a good care of it, but otherwise - life is nice as it is for me and I have way too much to do to find "empty place" to fit another human being in it. Oh, and they are nice and cute for about 5-8 years, from then on it's a burden and bullshit, money spending, taking time for nonsense and just generally putting up with their shit. I know - I was a kid once... ::)
I'm glad evolution reached a point where an animal can consciously question this preprogrammation and decide what to do. I'd like to keep living myself and not a half of my genome.

You are a sick man joon. You are also on TIME OUT.

I think they're annoying until they're 20-25 years. Diapers, teething, no-fase, why-fase, me-fase, school, friends (someone else's kids), first love, first break up, puberty, more school, jobs... Can't be bothered with that.

Yeah. And don't forget there's a chance they may some day curse you for givin them life at all... But it seems that most people are convinced their genes are very valuable and worth spreading, risen in perfect families, with perfect habits and obviously they'd produce another bunch of perfect human beings for a happy life ever after ::)
-
This is why the white population will be much smaller or cease to exist eventually. Greed and selfishness. Good luck.

Nah, not really.

Thinking about having a dog, dont just get a pup, borrow an older dog from someone and see if you take to it, if not just give it back.
We do it with children in the UK its called 'fostering'.

Is this fucking clown for real what a retard.

As soon as I meet a semi plump, semi submissive, semi feisty, intelligent, pale blonde, that works out, and cooks/knows nutrition like Bertha butt or Princess L. I'll have 18 kids like the Duggars.

If your genes aren't top notch and you don't come from a very good background, chances are - they will...
Oh, and someone mentioned the usual "selfishness". I guess most people are really happy in this word and their parents weren't selfish at all when they acted out of a "selfish gene" that gives a command to "replicate".
If raising a kid is the best thing that has ever happened for someone I can just imagine what kind of sad life they were leading before. Kids may be great and I love small kids, I'm first to interact with them and I'm good at it (and I MAY have one some day, and if with a right woman - I should be pretty happy), but please bitch... best that ever happened? For each his own I guess..

You have no experience in the matter, which explains why you're pretty clueless on the subject.
And I totally understand why and don't begrudge anyone who doesn't choose to have children.

I come from a wealthy family, I got a scholarship to university and came near top of my class in law. Have a master's degree and professional qualification as a barrister. I could be run over by a bus tomorrow and what would I have to show for it? My son. I've raised him well and he is a great kid. You got to look at it from a Darwinist point of view. We want offspring that carries our success, unfortunately scumbags seem to breed the most and instead of Darwinism killing them off social welfare permits their breeding.
-
I love these threads, people that have never had children telling us how horrible it is to have children.
And when you post ....as a parent ...how gratifying it is, they argue with you....LOL

Congrats, if someone should procreate it's people like you, but you are the minority. Tho' noone cares of what you'd have to show, that's for sure.
We eant offspring because our bodies aren't perfect enough to carry on the genome, so the genome tries to find a way to stay alive with a "hope" to evolve into a death/aging resistant living being one day (just like these species of non-aging animals who live indefinitely).

I was quite a pain in the ass for my family (and they were doing well for me) and caused quite some misery. I'm pretty sure there were moments they wanted I was never born. Now.. now I'm an adult, and I'm just continuing animalistic nature, but (too bad for me) I don't think it's a very "important mission". But plenty of scumbags, deformed, psychotic, moronic, overall - non "happy people making" material think that they are the shit and it's a huge "gift" to humanity if they'll have kids. Fuck that noise, I bet more than half posting here (maybe me included) should not procreate ever. Just liks the most of the rest of humans.
-

Turtles, naked mole rats, a specie of aligators, jelly-fish, some birds...
When a specie doesn't have any external dangers the only real danger becomes "aging" (the same is happening with humans currently). Evolution makes them "immortal" over time. Call it a "gift" for a perfect adaptation to an enviroment.

My family has poor genetics for living long. One grandmother lived to 86, one grandfather to late 70s, other 2 were dead before I was born (50s and 60s). Doesn't stop you having good children. Architects, actuaries, teachers, police mostly populate my parents' families. 5/7 of dad's siblings were teachers, he was actuary/entrepreneur.
When I heard I had knocked up a girl I ignored it. She called and I hung up pretending it wasn't happening feeling like you do. On Jan 2nd 2004 her mother knocked on door of my house and I heard her tell my mom "hi I'm X's mother".... I ran to bedroom still hoping for some out. Even the day he was due I was shitting it but once you see the kid, your son/daughter it all changes. It isn't a mistake or young pregnancy etc etc it is yours, your child with your features, totally helpless staring at you. Impossible to explain.

Probably true. But consider this... most of the rich and middle class white population is paying for the welfare black breeder babies. It has nothing to do with being racist, this is fact. There are mothers out there who actually teach their children how to game the system and not work.
The current welfare state/system is totally unsustainable. A huge economic crash and social upheaval is coming. It's inevitable. When it happens it's going to hit people like a sledgehammer over the head.
A small group of white elitist Jews basically own and control everything you've ever known. It's a stunning revelation once you discover and accept this fact. Children are born into debt slavery... no whips, chains or cotton fields are necessary.

lots of bastards living in the ghettos that for sure
if someone doesn't have a great living, chances are you will raise a problem child, a school drop out, maniac depressed individual
which makes me a supernatural phenom because I had the greatest upbringing.

the anti white illuminati groups mission is to convince white people that they are too good to progriate, killing the whitey without pulling the trigger
but as a man of faith you'd understand that race doesn't matter, it's ignorant mortals problem, isn't it

Yeah... that is great and all, but I haven't seen anyone who wouldn't value a thing or a goal, that they've put much of money, time, effort and maybe health into it, so that's completely expected. And I haven't said it's not great. But it's not always great, it's far from that. Not all kids are born healthy, not all of them develop right, and not all of them get succesfull in life later on, so let's stop this holly grail shit. Merely a 100 years back kids were mostly raised to be a "worker" mainly and went to do physical labour at age 13-14, it was a way of survival for a family unit. Now that people have plenty of time for bullshit and romantics - they are hallucinating about "life mission", "meaning", etc... Whole africa does that in millions every day and most of them are starving to death. What a great meaning. ::) I bet they look at it more simple - they fuck because they feel the urge, and they give birth because there's nothing else to do. Mission accomplished.

My wife and I wanted kids and we had two. They are adults now and they are exceptional people with exceptional lives. We have no regrets.

I get your point but why compare people with wifi and laptops etc to people breeding kids with AIDS in societies that believe fucking a virgin will cure you of AIDS? I mean South African's health minister said retrovirals don't work and to eat beetroot instead. That would make anyone with a brain throw their hands up. I think third world aid is a lost cause.
-

What I wanted to say that all that talk about kids as a "holly grail" is a result of a lazy and comftable civilisation life. It's just an animalistic nature. Humans breed, dogs breed, butterflies breed, fucking cockroaches that I hate so much - breed even more. Much of a "meaning" and "greatness" in all of that nonsense... ::) But I guess most people have to convince themselves that way to not go insane, as most are too weak mentally to grasp the factual reality, which is far from nice usualy.
Most parents think they are doing a great job, but how so there are so many unhappy peoplke in this world. That's the million dollar question.
Probably many of these parents weren't such a gold material to begin with.
-
truth, lol at caring about 'race'
I personally don't give a shit of which race will take the upper hand as I won't live long enough to have to deal with living with muslims or other third world scumbags everywhere around me (which I'd hate so much), oh and money would probably save me from that fate anyway, but overall - I'm at least not pretending that I "care" about anything except myself and people that are doing good to me and my family.

And ?
It's called "life" ..not the utopian fantasy world you want it to be. if only people with the perfect conditions have children we would have ceased to exist a long long time ago

Noone would've cared. And utopian and fantasy world seems to be touted by these who insist that kids are the holly grail. Let me repeat that I like kids, but to say it's the best thing ever, well let's agree that it's very relative, as with everything in life. And one day these same kids may curse their parents for giving them life at all (if they'll inherit some fucked up illness for example or their life will turn to shit because of some other deformed human being that wasn't the best thing ever to his parents).

Yes...and on the flip side...every time my kid walks into the room and plops on the couch, opens her laptop...not a care in the world..I'm a happy father. She's happy, safe and I'm doing my job. The reward is having her in my life.
not earth shattering...not the greatest thing on the planet...my personal happiness and pride.
you have a very glass half empty look on things

Maybe you were poor growing up, so you decided that your future children would have everything that they want. So, you work brutal workweeks and never see your kids.
Someone will think you're a terrible parent with mixed up priorities.
Maybe your parents were extremely religious, and you don't want your children to grow up in that environment. You want them to choose their own way.
Someone will think you're a heathen.
No matter how you raise your children, someone will always think you're doing it wrong, and there will always be people who will be labelled a "bad parent." Someone will label YOU as a bad parent, too.

I'm sure that I will feel the same if I'll ever have a kid (preferably daughter), but I'm realistic enough not to jizz over this nonsense.
To add, my friend knocked up a girl three years ago, unplanned. He has been miserable ever since (as he knows there will be a divorce, sonner or later, as she's not the woman he really wanted)... Loves his daughter, but she probably was the best AND the worst thing that has ever happened to him, at the same time.

they may be to themselves, but in a bigger picture we are born in a prison, and we who live in there are the meaningless ants.

Your post suggests that you didn't enjoy the best childhood. How unfortunate for you. Hopefully, someday you can move on, not letting the past dictate your future.

Never, no. Huh uh.

My niece is enough for me. I see guys out with their families and all i think is 'tied down'. Just not for me.

So? Isn't it true for the most valuable things you achieve in life? Trade-offs you may call it. But once again: the most valuable things in life at one point you will evaluate according to what you are ready to sacrifice for. Sure, you might fuck it up as a parent? How do you know? If your life is about avoiding risks at all costs, don't be surprised if you wake up old one day with nothing to stand for. Now, are the stakes too high when it comes to bringing life, raising it and even accepting to be (occasionally) disappointed? That I don't judge. I never thought I'd have a kid, didn't want one for most of my life, had a thought process pretty similar to yours. But I had one. Maybe because I was tired of being the center of my own life. Felt exhausted somehow only caring about myself. Having a child is ALSO a liberating experience as it is great responsibility. You can't have it all they say. I guess I just don't want to have it all.

Thanks for that support :)

I care about other people, but it doesn't mean it MUST be kids. Well for you it probably was. I don't give a shit about your or anyone else life choices (I'd honestly prefer that noone would have kids anymore as they are the rivals for me and my family), I'm just merely analysing the subject and my point of view is that kids aren't the holly grail, never were. Just an animals futile attempt at an "eternity". That does not happen this way, unfortunately. Only way we may reach that goal is through technology. If some asteroid won't erase us from this funny bubble.

Yeah, tell that to someone who has inherited their parents shitty genes and for ex. - most people around them are more good looking, or a male with a manlet father who's always feeling bad about his height or a 21yo with a bald ugly looking head. But I'm sure most of you here carry the best of the best genes lol... It's funny how everyone are convinced they are doing a favour for their kids, yet somehow most people still live in misery. Something doesn't add up eh?
You're doing yourself a favour, en egoistical and selfish favour, with hopes that your kids will help you to survive and will carry your genome further, not other way.

I never think of my kid as a gateway to eternity. I have no intentions to live vicariously through him. It's a life experience. End of story. My burdens are solely mine. My achievements also. My son I hope will have his own life and choose his path without me interfering. Of course, I'd love to see him succeed at what he does but again, that will be my point of view, not his.

Dogs, birds, elephants and other animals doesn't "think" any of that too. But you're still merely manifesting a genetic program blindly, nothing more, and the point of it is exactly that, whether you like it or not.

I don't deny the "program" but if you want to reduce parenthood to it, that's your approach. You can transcend it. Determinism is one thing, it's extent another. You can have a reductive view. I don't see where I come from as a limit to where I can go. My hormones can play tricks on me, I might have secretly wanted to procreate, etc.....at the end of the day, this is only so much in my relationship to my son. Being a genitor and being a father are two very different things.

My niece is enough for me. I see guys out with their families and all i think is 'tied down'. Just not for me.
You are young Enzo. You might change your mind and want to be tied down later down the track.

What we want in life can change as we mature. I knew a couple and the female did not want any children. The guy had two kids from a precious marriage. Anyway I recently got in contact with this couple after years and they have a 5 year old. Apparently the woman changed her mind and wanted a baby when she hit 40. I remember her thinking I was too young to be a mum and I was 32.

It may change, it may not... Depends on a person.

very true

many times what we want in life changes radically when people meet the right partner, suddenly all the rules in the books don't apply to you anymore and you actually change your life.
beyonces and witches alike will say that it's not "a real change" because you didn't change yourself through you, you changed yourself through someone else and now you're part of that someone else. But I call it love.

personally at this point, I wouldn't want kids, but I can't tell what the future brings and someday it could be that nothing will make me happier than a kid of my own. but we'll see

That's exactly how I think too. But once again - best thing ever? Bitch please...
best thing ever is to be young, healthy, smart and not worry much about anything. Everything else is a human condition.

lol but that's what I said, you can't know if a child will be the best thing ever to make you happy, you don't know that, smart pants :D
my ex did an abortion over a year ago, and at first when she texted me that she got a negative result from pregnancy test I was so nervous, so scared and so fucked up. I was panicking if she's going to get number in the abortion line in time since people are making abortions like coffee here. She wanted to do the abortion just as much as I did and I was never so relieved in my life.
But the point is, one day maybe, when I get news that I'm going to be a dad it might make me happier than anything, we can't tell that. Right now I'd hang my self.

like wiggs said in his hebrew way, white people are selfish ;D
a young girl will do an abortion eleven out ouf ten. I agree that you shouldn't get a baby if you're not ready for it, but people should use birth control for real.

i dont think white people are selfish, i think they are suicidal simply cause they re more educated , smarter than people of other races. At some point being too smart makes you realize how vain , absurd and pointless life is so you stop wanting to live.

I was joking. I agree with this to a degree.
In my country the girls and guys have every chance to advance in their studies and career and they can travel around the world without a hassle. 'searching' what they can't explain but they search it anyway ;D
poor people might see children as a way out of their dull daily life, just giving them ANY way to do something better. So I don't know is it due being smart, just being that everything is going on for ya and you have choices what many people don't take for granted.

That's the main challenge for a whole humanity now I guess... Too bad we'll probably be the last generations who have to worry about that.

Happy B day. As far as kids go, when you meet the right woman it just kinda falls into place. It least it did for me. Nothing harder or more rewarding than kids. I live in a house filled with estrogen a wife two teenage daughters and 2 female dogs.

After reading some of their posts Im inclined to agree with you. ;D
-
I have a 2 year old son. Best decision I've made. He's got great delts...much iron he will move.
-
40 years old, single and no kids. My choice. I'm not sure I would make the greatest father. But when I hang with my friends, who all are married and have at least two kids, the irony is hilarious. I'm sometimes envious of their life with not having that feeling as a parent. But on the flipside my friends often remind me how lucky I am not to have that obligation. They envy my privacy and my ability to live a polygamist lifestyle. I'm not a big hit with most of friends' wives because of that reason.
I'll probably take after my father and wind up having a child in my 50's. Hope that doesn't happen. Wearing condoms at 40 sucks but I still do it.
-
I love these threads, people that have never had children telling us how horrible it is to have children.
And when you post ....as a parent ...how gratifying it is, they argue with you....LOL
Absolutely. It's an individual preference, no doubt. Some people know right away, some realize after the fact, good or bad, some grow into it, some don't. I'm thrilled my brother wanted kids, I love them to death. I don't want my own, though.
However, it's beyond stupid to suggest that there's one perfect path. Personal preference is all, this ain't physics.
And Wiggs. C'mon. "Selfish" is why whites aren't winning the breeding competition? It really has nothing to do with education, responsibility, and common sense? I think we're at 72% now, unwed black mothers, you sure you wanna go there?
No hate, brother. But honesty?
-
Too many people having kids all over the world, all races. This world is overpopulated. The stupid people are outbreeding the smart ones, no doubt about it. The inbreeding familes in certain States certainly doesn't help bolster the gene pool.

"Winning the breeding competition?" Honestly, that's the stupidest thing I think I've ever heard. The idea that there is a competition to continue to overpopulate the world with humans of any race until we eventually eat each other like rats in an overpopulated rat's nest is mind boggling.
I love my kids. I am glad that my wife and I decided to have them. I am also pleased that we chose to stop at two kids. Raising children today is expensive when you do it right. Anyone who has children willy nilly or just to insure their race continues is selfish to the extreme.

Apparently you missed his post, Prime. I was simply responding to his assertion that whites will cease to exist because of our selfishness. Our greed. We're getting outfucked was pretty much his point. Losing the "breeding competition," he suggested, which is what I addressed. But you missed that, didn't you, and decided mine was the "stupidest."
Ironic coming from a guy who types "orientate" like it's a real word. Crazier still when you realize the guy was a
teacher. Seriously, all these years in a classroom, no one ever corrected you on that? I don't normally address literacy, because it's kinda toolish, but since you're so comfortable doing it, I thought it was fair. A teacher, too. Wow.
No offense, Prime, but go fuck yourself.

Wow are you sensitive....and hugely mistaken!
You are right, I didn't read his post. It was your quote and reference to it that prompted me to agree with you in my reply. Guess you missed that, huh?
Another mistake you've made is that you assumed I was a classroom teacher. While it is true I worked for a school district for the better part of 30 years, I was a classified employee working in buildings and maintenance. During the course of my employment there, I worked at two of the district high schools and finally at an elementary school. In our district, we did consider all adult employees as "teachers" with respect to our responsibilities as role models to the students.
As for my misuse of a word or non-word as you suggest, Webster's disagrees.

Examples of ORIENTATE
a program that helps to orientate new students
She needs to orientate herself to her new job.
First Known Use of ORIENTATE
1848
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/orientate
Every fall just before students arrived, all staff attended the annual orientation where we were orientated as to that year's expectations. Actually, we were re-orientated because after you've been to two of these events, you quickly realize they are all the same.
As a union leader (Chapter President), I attended and presented at numerous new employee orientations where I would orientate these folks as to their benefits, etc. Not to belabor the word or anything.... ;D
The above being said, I'll acknowledge there is some disagreement at to whether the correct word is orient or orientate. Actually, both are correct.
In the UK, it is more common for people to say “orientate” whereas in the US, “orient” is more common. Writers in both countries sometimes bemoan the usage of the alternative word. In fact, both words are acceptable according to the dictionaries.
The Oxford English Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary list “orient” and “orientate” as verbs meaning the same thing.
Lastly, no offense taken, but I'll pass on your suggestion if you don't mind. Anyway, even if I wanted to comply, unfortunately my dick isn't long enough for me to fuck myself....not that I have tried. ::)

It's all good, even our conversation about words. I enjoy words and the English language. I am not fond of the expression irregardless. Judging from the fact that spell check has underlined it in red, offering the alternative regardless, I am not alone in this. My daughter uses this word frequently. I hesitate to correct her. She is an adult. If she were still a child, I would set her straight. I think I have heard her say conversate too. Maybe these words are the language of the future. I'll stick with Oxford English whenever possible.

I was in the park with all the other parents last weekend watching the children playing on the swings and slides, one of the mothers said "they're lovely aren't they", I smiled and said, "Yes, just lovely"
She said "Which ones yours" , I told her I hadn't decided yet.

It's obviously an imperfect system, but accepting nonstandards so liberally makes dictionaries almost irrelevant. They'll add anything, as long as it's popular somewhere. I found "mutherfocker" and "cucksocker" in a classroom edition. "A contemptible person" for both, by the way.
Like you, I don't make a point of correcting anyone (again, shouldn't have here), but these aren't words, as far as I'm concerned, they're mistakes.

You can make all kinds of decisions about having kids or not and then nature happens.

Nature does not give one shit about your plans. You will have kids or you will not and your plans are likely shit.

You cannot blame having children entirely on nature. There are ways to pretty much avoid having children. One can wear a rubber, or more drastically, have a vasectomy. Both my son and son in law have done this because they and their wives decided to limit how many children they had. In my grandfather's day, men practiced withdrawal. Admittedly, that can be risky unless you have a lot of warning and no precum....those might have been the up to nature days.

Having them is easy if you give them away at birth or shortly there after. Seriously, children are at minimum an 18 year commitment and usually a longer one. Some people seem to forget this.

Not this year, I don't want more kids. Guess I've been there done that, as they say. Not that there is anything wrong with my kids. The are admirable people, of whom I am very proud. I do enjoy my grandkids though. My oldest granddaughter is getting married in August. Who knows? I might be enjoying great grandchildren in the not too distant future.

You are right. Sometimes that is a choice the parents wrongly make which often has a very negative result for the child. Other times, as in the case of my friend whose adopted son is severely disabled, it is the only conscionable choice a parent can make. Her son is about the same chronological age as my daughter, which is nearly 40 years old, but mentally and emotionally he has the intellect of a preschooler.
