I've come to the conclusion they are almost useless*. I am becoming like Prole :'(
*Unless you happen to be Wrath, Spindashing etc

Kids - 10 seconds of joy, 30 years of misery.
-
I absolutely adore children.
But I could never eat a whole one.
But seriously folks, I love kids. Can't wait to have a few of my own. Just the little details in the middle of that....
-
You don't need a woman, Boogie.
-
Children aren't any more or less obnoxious or useless than adults. They are just people like you or I. It's up to the individual.
-
That's why we don't need any more of them!
-
Only if it's a little girl...
Always wanted to be one...
-
well they're good for at least one thing...
-
:lol Boogie
I want kids. :heart Babies seem to be a hassle. Kids are fun (mostly) if you're a good parent. I've only met a few shit kids with amazing parents. Plus who's going to pick out my nursing home if no kiddies?
-
I won't be making any.
Maybe I'm selfish and want all of my money to myself but I just don't like the low quality education and the ultra PC style of rearing children.
-
:heart my 3 kids
-
rearing children :drool
-
Kids are awesome, I can't wait to have kids some day. I don't get how people can hate kids.
-
Awesome kids - kids that are well mannered but still have personalities and aren't ultraconservative robot children.
Shitty kids - the kids that run around at GameStop and knock EVERY FUCKING GAME off the shelf, ask 50000 questions and run behind the counter to do so when you have a full line of people in the store, and kick and scream when you don't give them what they want 100% of the time.
Guess which one I deal with more?
-
don't you work at Gamestop? So I mean, isn't it damn obvious? What was the point of even asking??? :P
-
kids, yawn
i have better things to invest my time and money into, like apple products
-
Selena Gomez is a child. A hot child.
-
Kids yawn. Maybe would be interested if they just magically disappear once they turn six
-
My wife and I are gonna start trying in May... still a little freaked out about it, but not as much as I used to be.
However, I get to raise a kid in the city. Screw the suburbs.
-
you should name him Harry Potter Gundam
-
you should name him Harry Potter Gundam
:lol
My wife and I decided long ago that if we had a boy, we'd name him Jack. We've never been able to agree on a girl's name.
-
Glad you are giving a possible son a normal name. Some of the names that I see people giving kids today are :-\
White people are entering into Shaniqua levels of naming babies.
-
My middle name is my dad's name. My wife wanted to continue that tradition, but then our kid would be Jack Nicolas... all I'd ever think of is the golfer.
-
I would love to have kids in the future but right now I got too much fun shit to do :rock
-
Which is why I won't have a kid until I'm in my 30s.
-
kids, yawn

:bow
-
Can't wait to have my kids farm achievements for me
Wait... I can just pay the kids who live in the boonies to do it for me
-
In my 30s without a kid, but I hope to have one some day.

Don't U work for M$? smh.

from what I understand, kids are mostly worth it for the long term
from baby to whatever age they aren't just crying, eating and pooping, it seems miserable. Then there is a cool period where you can you get away with playing Mario Kart and watching Disney films, playing catch and all that shit. Teenage years would be a nightmare. When they become slightly better in the 20s, they'll hopefully be independent and you don't deal with them until the holidays and whatnot (by this time you've probably aged at four times the normal rate). You're now depressed and have nothing to do because for a huge chunk of your adult life you were just providing for another person. Finally when you're really old, the kid finally pays off. Your best days will be having their kids over and playing Kinect Kart and watching Dreamworks films. And that's maybe the best case scenario.
-
Plus you can retire ask your kids to pay all your bills and spend all that sweet pension money on whatever old people buy :hyper

Diunx do you plan to look after your parents when they get old?
To me it's too much responsibility. The other thing is my life philospophy (so far) is anything you can walk away from is good thing. You can walk away from marriage but you shouldn't walk away from your children.
-
:lol
I swear some of names girls get. They sound like stripper's names.
-
i love kids
-
Raising a kid gives you something to brag about. It's hard to gauge the value of that and there's no real point trying since you can't know how hard it is raise a kid unless you already have one in which case you'd never admit your own failures.

Of course, I don't want my mum to be worrying about bills and shit like that when she hit her golden years.

You know what name drives me nuts? Nevaeh. Yep, it's Heaven backwards.
Congratulations, kid. Your meth head parents have just guaranteed you'll be fucked up for life.

I met a student today named Genesis.
My favorite is still Patch Rick. That's his first name. Patch. Rick.
-
My teacher told me of one girl named shithead, pronounced shu-theed, that was apparently a real name and not just some gibberish her mom made up.
-
Yeah, I've heard the Shitthead one before. My brother in law also swears he went to school with some kids named Lemonjello and Orangejello... I mean, he's from Texas so it's possible, but still....
-
Yeah, white people have forfeited the right to laugh at anyone named Shaniqua or anything like it.
Yeah, I've heard the Shitthead one before. My brother in law also swears he went to school with some kids named Lemonjello and Orangejello... I mean, he's from Texas so it's possible, but still....
All three of those names were mentioned in Freakonomics. According to that book, "Shithead" is pronounced "Shuh-teed"
-
I've met two people who say that they know somebody who has named their child K-a (pronounced Kadasha). That has to be an urban myth.
Usually it's girl's names where y replaces 'i' for instance Alice becomes Alyce or the name is an almagam of two names for instance Alice and Tanya becomes Alitanya or something.
I don't know diux when you have kids would you still be able to do ittime and money wise? I mean I doubt you're kids would look after you the way you expect them to do since it's culturally ingrained in us and the world is becoming more westernised.
-
I like a kid named Jigga. His middle name is Jone - with no s. Because "Jigga Jones sounds too ghetto" according to the dad, a friend of mine. I shit you not.
-
I've been watching/babysitting kids in my family for like half my life. I love them. I have no problems hitting them if they continuously act out, but I hardly ever have to. They usually respect me.
-

I've heard several people swear on the orangejello/lemonjello names, and it's always that they heard it through someone else they trust but didn't see it themselves. One is a good friend and now all these others have said the same thing, she's convinced it's a sick joke, either fake or not.
Anyone with a kid named Neveah should be shot. It actually may have been a name at one point, I forget the nationality, but it was super rare, but now... smh

Wait Jigga as from Jay-Z and Jone/s as in 'Jim Jones'?

I've met two people who say that they know somebody who has named their child K-a (pronounced Kadasha). That has to be an urban myth.
I've actually met a kid named L-a (Ladasha)... the wonders of working in the public schools.
-
omg
-
:lol
I've seen some crazy names preparing taxes but I legally cannot say. Probably nothing as good as L-a though.
-
Speaking as someone who helped raise one for the last 9 years: I am glad I have not spawned, and I really don't think I will.

breeders are disgusting
-
Glad you are giving a possible son a normal name. Some of the names that I see people giving kids today are
*whistles*
*walks away*
WHAT DID YOU DO, STANLEY? WHAT DID YOU DO?!
-
I know someone back home who named their daughter after an ex-girlfriend. I'm not sure his wife ever found out the reason. :lol
That happened to someone in my family as well. I can't imagine the chutzpah that requires.
-
breeders are disgusting
But we'll outlast you non-breeders, genetically speaking.
-
I like kids, becoming a father must be pretty special imo
-
In my Orwellian world people would need a license to have children.
-

Which shows that breeders pass down non-breeder genes. Mind blown.
-
Not really, I would blame SOCIETY for non-breeders.
Sexual freedom, contraception and reduced social pressure to start a family all play their bit.

:teehee

That's a pretty common name over here.

Filipe Jorge, ahahahaAHAAHAHAHAHAH
-
Emperor's Palace? Is that the place with the Sweet and Sour Chicken?? mmmm
-
WHAT DID YOU DO, STANLEY? WHAT DID YOU DO?!
I feel like i'm in that scene from Ghostbusters...
actually, it's not that bad, well... um... i guess it is...
My wife is half portuguese, so our kid for some reason has a portuguese name :
Filipe Jorge
... regular logic would dictate i called him "Steve" i guess.
Hell, when i was a kid my dad was involved in an argument over my name with my mother. The upshot is this: my mother wanted me to be called David and he wanted another name. So they flipped a coin and my mother won. i was "chance" away from being called....
Zal.
... and to this day i still can't figure out whether i won or lost on that one.
There's nothing wrong with Felipe. We're talking about weird names.
-
Depends where they live obviously. In any anglo-redneck, euro hating area that kid is going to have it tough.
If I had no shame I'd totally name my son Merckx the good\bad thing is nobody would know why.
-
Felipe is not a weird name. Now if it was spelled Phileephay instead, then yeah.
Yeah, I've heard the Shitthead one before. My brother in law also swears he went to school with some kids named Lemonjello and Orangejello... I mean, he's from Texas so it's possible, but still....

They are most likely getting those names from Freakonomics. They certainly aren't common.

I heard about the Jello names prior to Freakanomics coming out.
