Is that your description of waking up the morning after widget, ol buddy, ol pal? 😉
😛 I was thinking more along the lines of the evolution of life from the primordial swamp.
News to you? 😕 Or are you still there? In a morass of potential parental indecision like HandJob?

I appreciate the advice and associated sarcasm.
We'll see what happens. I have a good relationship and I'm resonable content with my lot in life. Its like a huge crap shoot and I think some further practice is in order for the moment. But, I do think having a child would enrich our lives.
I pray that my kid(s) don't end up as ugly and stupid as Widget, as fat and lazy as Crowley, as sexually introverted and confused as Freddie. Otherwise, I hope they are half as smart, sarcastic, funny and perverted as some of the freaks that populate this site.

Seriously, though, I find it astonishing that so few deliberately choose to jump out of the gene pool.
Amongst other concerns ~ You never know who's beeing peeing in it, or goodness knows what else! 🙄

Originally posted by General PutzerI entirely agree with Starrman, this is utter nonsense. I don't have or plan to have children, but I work with children, and I certainly don't find that pointless. Other people find meaning in science or arts, for example. Your view is extremely limited.
I can't believe some of the things I've read on this thread. If you never have children, you'll lead a barren pointless existence and your life will have signified nothing when you die.
Originally posted by StarrmanIt seems to me that we're about two generations past learning to control what we do, Starry, so that it doesn't decimate the fragile little spinning globe we all share. 🙄 But we seldom even consider that we are the problem - not just part of it but all of it!
Why astonishing?
Rats in crowded mazes behave abominably to each to each other. 😀 We have learned that.
I am perhaps most distressed when I see couples having a kid because all their friends have one. I default to my earlier point about lemmings and cliffs. 😞 Though life is a wonderful game, kids are not toys.
I want to believe we are capable of learning from experience.
Originally posted by Hand of HecateEveryone believes that they'll make a great dad. Even moms.
My wife and I have been talking about having a child. Quite honsetly I've spent my life trying [b]not to knock anyone up and while I think I'll make a decent Dad I'm intimidated by the whole concept.
I think too many people go blindly into having a child with no forethought and preparation. However, perhaps I'm overthinking this. I waited un ...[text shortened]... d I'm financially secure. Still having a child is a huge responsibility.
Any thoughts?[/b]
Get a puppy.
Originally posted by NordlysWhile I don't agree with the choice of words that the General has used, I certainly feel that having children is the most important aspect of one's life and I dread at the thought of completing my life with no colony of Darv-babies to carry out my unholy bidding.

I get giddy when I think of aging and being the patriarch of a large culturally-diverse family. We're gonna be the poster-children for 21st Century melting pot families. F--k yeah!
