I see.  Children.  If I had a child, which I never want nor ever will, I would do the same as you.  I never understood why any parent with any kind of means would throw their child to the wolves with the "you are on your own mentality".

Why not give him the best of everything.  I sure would.  I would not make him work for it at all.  Instead I would have him focus his energies elsewhere and not worry about "working for nonsense".

The Gentile brain thinks differently in that they want their children to struggle.  They claim it "builds character".  No, it just makes them look like morons and builds nothing but resentment.

Good post, couldn't agree more!

I've come to realize that people that are in it for a certain amount of money will never accomplish shit.  You have to be interested in what you do.    :P

Benchmark


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This article is about the business term. For the geolocating activity, see Benchmarking (geolocating). For other uses of the term, see Benchmark (disambiguation).

Benchmarking is the process of comparing one's business processes and performance metrics to industry bests or best practices from other industries. Dimensions typically measured are quality, time and cost. In the process of best practice benchmarking, management identifies the best firms in their industry, or in another industry where similar processes exist, and compares the results and processes of those studied (the "targets") to one's own results and processes. In this way, they learn how well the targets perform and, more importantly, the business processes that explain why these firms are successful.

Benchmarking is used to measure performance using a specific indicator (cost per unit of measure, productivity per unit of measure, cycle time of x per unit of measure or defects per unit of measure) resulting in a metric of performance that is then compared to others.[citation needed]

Also referred to as "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking", this process is used in management and particularly strategic management, in which organizations evaluate various aspects of their processes in relation to best practice companies' processes, usually within a peer group defined for the purposes of comparison. This then allows organizations to develop plans on how to make improvements or adapt specific best practices, usually with the aim of increasing some aspect of performance. Benchmarking may be a one-off event, but is often treated as a continuous process in which organizations continually seek to improve their practices.

Omniscience


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Omniscience /ɒmˈnɪʃəns/,[1] mainly in religion, is the capacity to know everything that there is to know. In particular, Hinduism and the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) believe that there is a divine being who is omniscient. An omniscient point-of-view, in writing, is to know everything that can be known about a character, including past history, thoughts, feelings, etc. In Latin, omnis means "all" and sciens means "knowing".

A person who appears to know everything is sometimes called 'omniscient' meaning infinitely wise or smart.
If someone only 'thinks' that they know everything, but they truly do not, then they are simply naive, egotistcal, or ignorant, or pompous.

You are a spoiled child. You make a lot of assumption in your assertions.

You assume all or most parents are capable of generating passive income that can be handed down to their kids, neglecting the fact that most people are average wage earners struggling with the expenses of life.

You assume that kids automatically learn maturity, financial responsibility, and value when you give them no reason to with excessive sheltering from any type of responsibility besides eating, sleeping, and wiping their ass.

Your use of the word "Gentile" is the most disturbing and telling as well. Most Jews I've met, especially pro-Israel Jews are nasty mother fuckers, that have a massive ego, no manners or respect for others, and have a delusional sense of entitlement. Also, they exhibit strong sociopathic tendencies, and are highly conniving sacks of vile shit.

Maybe it's in your genes, or possibly what your big nosed ugly loud rude mothers drilled into your head as children.

Either way, you are a fucking joke. The least you could do is have children and see how your childish world view pans out. lol

Meltdown.

Couldnt agree more with Adonis.

are you scared you would not be able to provide for your kids with your current income? And why kids have to have the best of everything? Did you have?
I hate children and I am incredibly selfish. I would not want to waste one second of my life on a child for any reason.  I like Animals much better and would rather have and help animals any day of the week over children.  I see nothing worth liking at all about children.

TA, I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you an only child?  Did you happen to lose your folks at a young age? 

I've known a couple folks that share your opinions on children and they had no siblings (well, one didn't that I can recall...it's been awhile), but both were essentially orphaned at a young age.

I think its hard to answer that question when you are at a point that you still want "more" or still building yourself up.  You don't really know how much would make you satisfied, you just know that you are not satisfied right now, or not satisfied enough.

He's gotta be an only child. You only hear that kind of disgust for kids from people who were in fact only children. His whole world-view is entirely self-centered, ever since he was a kid.

Not hating on you Adonis, I like you as a poster. But just saying your views on kids are a result of a lack of life experiences (having siblings).....something the majority of your peers can relate to and understand but something you never will.

Some people just don't like kids.... I've met people that come from good homes, have a few siblings, but just don't want the responsibility of having to look after another person.  Nothing wrong with that, just their own choice.

Exactly.  How could I play Grand Theft Auto V for 5-8 hours a day or more if some little twerp were around begging me to feed it and what not.

Jezebelle feels the same way and she has a sister and a lot of cousins.  In fact Jezebelle goes as far as saying how she would probably murder her child or just leave it somewhere. ha ha ha

Jezebelle and I have discussed this at great length.  In all of our lives, since young we never had a desire or attraction to children, babies or any of it.  We always were both disgusted at the idea of children even at young ages.

I remember at 6 and 7 years old thinking that most children were incredibly stupid (even though I was a child myself) and how much I could not stand to be in a room with a crying baby.  I hated children from day one.

Same with Jezebelle.  She never once had that "motherly instinct" her whole life, despite having a ton of cats and other various pets growing up.

Some of it may be genetic and or evolutionary biology related in that we are more of the hunter types, attack and defend types, preserve the self and protect the group type moreso than the child bearing, child raising types.

The thought of having a child literally disgusts Jezebelle and how it would ravage her body, let alone the actual child itself is repulsive.

We aren`t "put" on this earth. Life results from the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators.

Our bodies are just the expression of various genes and its the genes that live onward, not the person or organism.  The genes are indifferent to the person or whatever vessel contains the genetic information.

Furthermore, we are not shackled to our genes.  We have control over them.  Just because you are born a certain way or have a certain problem, myopia for instance, does not mean you can`t change or fix it- in this case wearing eye glasses.

If we just let our genes do what they wish, why should we even bother trying to cure diseases, lessen the impact of genetic defects or wear eyeglasses or contacts.

You see, as the great Stephen Pinker says, "But I am happy that way, and if my genes don't like it, they can go jump in a lake. "

The Universe does not care one bit about your genetic code or anyone elses.  If it did, you probably wouldn`t die of cancer when you get older.  :D

I like kids but I'm so selfish with my time that I doubt I have another one.
