Sell me on having kids
Because I can't decide on them or the ponies they keep trying to sell me over in GD. :shrug:

1. Kids are really high maintenance. I'd go with goats or Labs.

5. Kids are much more appropriate than ponies in GD.
They act like kids and butt heads like goats over there.

Yeah, I just called them butt heads, didn't I? :rofl:

11. Unfortunately...
Some people think that if they post pictures of their "cute", wonderful, perfect kids, that should influence the childless person's decision to have kids, and in turn will magically make a crass, shallow, and misogynistic person replaced by a kind and selfless humanitarian, whose life will now be surrounded by love, beauty, unbounded challenges and unending rewards. It's especially grating when people think that the "cuteness" of their children is a selling point. It's not. It's just narcissism disguised as persuasion. One should never try to persuade a person not worth persuading, especially by pimping pictures of their kids.

12. selfish pride
:puke: The comments in that thread
:puke: people showing off children.
Whenever I see children all I see is the adult they'll be, I pity them and distrust their selfish parents.

Animals are beautiful to me no matter what their age though! LOL

18. I like to think I did well in the other thread
Although I restrained myself from posting A) He's seen children; that's why he's hesitant or B) Are you offering yours? in response to the kiddy pics. Or just :puke:

Those posts set me on edge. "Look! They're cute! Once you have some of these, you'll be glad you did! You're a selfish immature twit if you don't!"

I miss the old days where we could go balls-out with pro-child-free threads, LOL.
