aren't kids great?

Most people will tell you that about dogs.

Most people know that its true, but not many of them know how to effectively do that. Things are always easier said than done. Especially when your working with children or animals that have a mind of their own.

I can’t believe all the children hatred in this thread. I am the youngest in my family by 6 and 9 years, and have thus never grown up with anyone younger than me around. I’ll admit it isn’t the most pleasant experience for me to be around other people’s kids because I never know what to do around them, but I still want kids of my own someday.

I don’t like dogs either.

You actually think we’re serious?

I’m totally serious, kids are a living nightmare, if you think having kids is cool just wait until you get on the bus with 200 people and there’s a woman with a crying baby, no matter how she tries to make it shut the fuck up the thing is just gonna scream louder thats all babies do bscly, and as they grow up they learn ways of manipulating their parents into submission, even my little sister makes her parents buy her random shit every day even though they’ve got financial problems, she doesn’t give a shit, she wants a third bunny rabbit and a 4th fish tank, and she’s not going to shut up until she gets that or something better.

You’ve made me change my mind, I’ll use a condom next time.

@Mr.Shadow Some of you yes. ^

@sersoft I’m laughing because I know I could never get away with that crap with my parents.

Glad we agree on these things :slight_smile:

I am.

You people who want kids of your own, don’t we have enough people in this world already.

I’m most likely going to adopt though…

I am now too. Thank God for sersoft

Also most kids will break everything they can get their hands on, and as they grow up, peer pressure will undo everything you could have taught them at home (good manners etc)

Ouch. I feel your pain bro.

EDIT: Seriously, kids can be fucking annoying at times. They’re almost always annoying, but every once in a while they’ll act like they have eaten like 4 stones of sugar. And THAT is the thing I hate the most.

Hey now…kids are people too…

…worthless, incomplete people…

“I hate kids between the ages of birth and death.”

“Kids, can’t live with 'em, can’t shoot 'em…”

“I dream of an America with nudity and F-words on network TV. Where the whole world doesn’t stop because a school bus did. Children are the future. Today belongs to me!”

I’ve known since I was at least 14 that I do not want kids. There are a few who I can tolerate, some relatives, some strangers. I used to work for newspapers, and I’d say that a good 66% of the events I covered involved kids, almost all of them annoying little brats. Damned crotchfruits made work unbearable any time I had to work around them. Now, there are a few who weren’t bad, and I was happy whenever I was around a kid who was actually raised well…but they just are not ever raised well.

Most parent these days suck. Oh no Timmy, don’t do that. Please stop Timmy, or I’ll send you to time out when we get home. Timmy, don’t you open that soda. OK, but don’t drink all of it. Timmy, spot running around or I’ll punish you. If you don’t stop throwing things, I’ll take away your Wii for 5 minutes. I’m really starting to get mad Timmy… blah blah blah. Kids don’t give a shit about words or time out. When the fuck did it become such a big deal to hit your kid? A few decent smacks on the ass or whatever is NOT child abuse, and the kid sure as hell learns a lesson (other than “if I do this again, I only get time out for 5 minutes”). Sending a kid to his room these days is no punishment - thats where his TV, video games, computer, etc probably all are… If I’d had my ass beat a few times, I’d have shaped up. “~I wasn’t really a bad kid, I just happened to pull a lot of pranks that happened to be felonies…~” Being serious…I think if I’d been smacked upside the head when I fucked up, maybe I’d have turned out better. I’m hardly a career criminal, but I’d have shaped up faster…

FWIW, I actually ended a relationship that was leading to marriage due to the kids issue. She wanted two or three…I wanted none…otherwise perfect relationship…but I don’t regret having to make that decision.

I agree with malice.

I have no legs.
I have no legs.

Shouldn’t the title be isn’t kids great?

I don’t hate children, Mac users, or consolefags…

But I’ll never let you know that. :smiley:

You’re all being idiotic. It’s like if Michael Jackson insulted black people. Everyone was a bloody kid, it’s a part of growing up that your briefly an asshole. Though if the parents are patient, then the kid will grow up to be great.

he did turn himself into a white guy

oh, yes. I forgot: We should change to thread title because kids aren’t kids anymore, but rather just some annoying little devils that will try to break everything until they get what they want.
