I'm glad somebody agreed! Most people say I'm being too hard on people to expect them to live their life and police their children. I think people like you, who put effort into their child's moral understanding will bennefit from a child who isn't burning down houses and spraypainting buildings. It takes a lot of you and a lot of comprimised time to raise a kid, that's not a statement, it's a warning to people who would like a child as an accessory to the picket fence and the rest of their american dream.

Tell those people if they're too busy to properly take care of kids in this day and age, then perhaps they shouldn't be having them...Selfish people shouldn't have children anyway, and that's exactly what these people are...

They want to have kids because they feel it's their right, but at the same time, they want to shirk the responsibilities as parents off onto the rest of society. They use their kids as an excuse, since that's a popular out cry in this day and age and is sure to get people's attention, when their delicate sensibilites are offended. Having kids isn't a "right", it's a privledge that comes with great responsibility.

I love my country, but Christ are we all really this stupid...because we keep falling for this ploy over and over again...

Once again, to all you selfish people...Your kids are your responsibility, not mine. If you can't raise them right, then don't bother having any (let alone 3 or 4 of them).
