Kids
I dont understand why people have kids. Seriously. Think about it: the best part of being an adult is the freedom to do what you want and make your own choices (most of the time). The worst part of being an adult is the responsibilities that come with it (having to work, supporting yourself/your family, pay bills, etc.). When you have kids, you lose pretty much all of that freedom, while exponentially gaining more responsibility. By the time you get your freedom back, you're ready to retire and have lost the best years of your life. All for kids that, while you're raising them, will resent you and constantly argue with you and make you miserable and have no concept of what you gave up to bring their ungrateful souls into the world until they're much older (yes Mom, I know I did this too, and I'm sorry). Why do people do this to themselves? All so that this cycle can repeat over and over again?

that's fantastic. As I reflect on that thought my initial reaction is one of "human duty." Although I don't have any legitimate arguments aside from the fact that I'm sure most parents, even if their kids made their lives a living hell, would have kids all over again because of the good times they did have, it does make me wonder... maybe we should all stop having kids and just end human existence? Oh my science.
Someones kid created halo. end of argument.
I don't think we should end human existence, although that would certainly be better for the rest of the planet. I mean children have their purposes- they're usually the only ones who can fit through the very small tunnels in the coal mines. And if prepared right, babies can be an absolute treat. Delicious.
Someone else's kid also created Twilight. And the Batman movie with George Clooney. And the reverse loft. So there.
For love.
Went back and read this 6 years and 1 child later. Lol.
