But if I did have kids I would unquestionably teach them to subject cretinous a-holes to endless mockery.

and this section is called boner (Phil D.), Monday, 19 December 2016 19:43 (seven years ago) link

i do hope this is the kind of thing you teach your brats to say in the playground

p intellectually stimulating conversation tbf

completely insane that an opinion that someone dislikes children sends you into utter insult-flinging meltdown like this. nagl dude

lex pretend, Monday, 19 December 2016 19:49 (seven years ago) link

me, seeing this thread constantly at the top of sna: lol, children ARE non-human animals

fwiw i literally had no idea who you were before this thread but you seem to be acting as though you know things about me? yet you say i bore you?

lex pretend, Monday, 19 December 2016 19:50 (seven years ago) link

can we poll the categories of human beings i dislike? cos there are quite a few

lol, yes, lex, I've been posting here for like ~over a decade~ and I've read your writing both on and off ILX.

makes sense that fear of not being entertaining would cut deep then

you're the one who's consistently gone for direct insults even when not being addressed

lex pretend, Monday, 19 December 2016 20:07 (seven years ago) link

it's obvious that lex is heavily invested in his dislike of children and in his dislike of those who would have him like children. if his dislike of children makes him reviled by much of the world, he apparently is ready to turn his back to the world. ilx must accept this is lex's final position: he dislikes kids.

if I accept it does that mean I can't make fun of it

Οὖτις, Monday, 19 December 2016 20:28 (seven years ago) link

I mean I accept that lex's personality is beyond repair

I remember the thrill I got when I first learned that tapping a particular spot near the patella caused a person's leg to kick. I did it over and over again. But eventually the thrill wore off.

I took a shit in someone's backyard once, as a child.

I guess I'm trying to say I just don't know where I stand in this debate.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I took a shit in someone's backyard once, as a child.

it'd be nice of there was a place to air & work through bile & anxiety about ppl choosing to become parents where no one would take offense but yeah

ogmor, Friday, 17 March 2017 19:00 (seven years ago) link

it does kinda suck being the only one in your group of friends to have kids and not completely disappear

frogbs, Friday, 17 March 2017 19:01 (seven years ago) link

xp hm have you ever considered airing those grievances in a thread that isn't titled "children vs animals"

qualx, Friday, 17 March 2017 21:00 (seven years ago) link

should we just create an I Hate Parenting board for lex et al

hi qualx have you ever considered responding sarcastically to one of my posts in a way that suggests you haven't read it properly

ogmor, Friday, 17 March 2017 22:27 (seven years ago) link

parenting is extremely stressful and often miserable

luckily i didn't have kids in order to make my life more relaxing and fun

Mordy, Friday, 17 March 2017 22:31 (seven years ago) link

making my life more relaxing and fun is my number 1 goal.

Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Friday, 17 March 2017 22:39 (seven years ago) link

i find having a dog and a cat a lot of responsibility

i think I'm definitely doing the future a favour by not procreating

Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Friday, 17 March 2017 22:40 (seven years ago) link

I think people should probably be allowed to express sceptical views on procreation without automatically being branded as history's greatest monsters

Pengest & Corsa (Noodle Vague), Friday, 17 March 2017 22:45 (seven years ago) link

Does explicitly hating children qualify for monsterhood tho

Οὖτις, Friday, 17 March 2017 22:47 (seven years ago) link

Why did u have kids mordy

brat_stuntin (darraghmac), Friday, 17 March 2017 22:53 (seven years ago) link

Fulfill expectations of my family and community
Fulfill my biological imperative to transmit genetic code
Religious tenets
Hopeful insurance to have support/familial bonds in old age
New ppl to play board games with
