Yeah, fuck the babies. Take 'em to court.

The reason there are policies like this in place is the fact they have been taken to court so many times.
I mean, I couldn't rent a carpet steam cleaner till I was 25, and by that time I really lost interest in steam cleaning anything.
Kill some lawyers and life will get easier for everyone.

What flavors do you guys have?
If you got strawberry, I'm totally there.

My girlfriend and I, who have no plans to ever have children, just survived a 6-day pregnancy scare. (A couple days late is one thing. After 5 days, you start shopping for a bigger car.)

In the middle of this ordeal, we visited a friend of hers who has two small children, 5 years old and 9 months old, and whose marriage is falling apart. We went out to dinner with all four of them and while we took a lot of delight in how adorable and precocious the children could be, it only solidified our opinion that we wanted no part of the permanent commitment to that level of responsibility.

When Flo arrived the next day, there was some bittersweetness, because we know we'd be good parents. But mostly it was just relief.

I love other people's babies. And they dig me. I'm great with kids and can coax even the fussiest or shyest baby into giggles. But when they start to cry or smell like rotten eggs in a litter box, I can hand them back to their parents and that's the whole point. I'll rent, but I won't buy.

Not everybody is not NOT CRAP.

Therefore, babies are CRAP.

Dude, that's one big fat false syllogism. You been reading them same philsophical texts as Matthew Wauck again?

Y'all is a bunch of cynical heartless bastards. How can nearly 50% of you have voted crap? Babies are amazing. If you don't find babies amazing, what do you find amazing? How fucking cynical can you get?

Not saying you should have one or be forced to like them or whatever - but come on, admit two things: 1) what have babies ever done to you? 2) life is amazing, humanity is amazing, therefore babies are amazing.

I'm gonna go breed and sack all you fuckers off. Who's with me?

a bunch of people who have no interest in having children trying to form opinions about children

it's like sports radio guys who don't watch soccer talking about how dumb soccer is

all's i have to say is: it's exactly like getting married. it seems like a bad idea that will ruin your life until it seems like a good idea that will enrich your life, and then it seems like a really good idea. with any luck, this impression is a correct one, once one has it.

so, you know, like your parents always said, just wait. you'll probably change your mind.

Hah. Well said.

last weekend i was changing my daughter's diaper and after she was cleaned up, but before i could put on the new diaper, she peed on the floor. that stuff soaks in quick, so i tried to dry it as quick as i could, certain that she would not need to go again before i got the diaper on her. stupidly, i let her crawl down the hall while i cleaned up the pee. then i heard this noise and looked around to find her still crawling but with this orange streak on the floor behind her. she had taken a crap and her last meal had been a jar of carrot baby food.


of course babies are not crap. i'm really surprised this is around 50/50. reminds me of when suicide was running not crap. makes no sense.

Not crap!
