Pathetic, sad, and basically calling the person stupid for not seeing what they're doing. Yeah, you did look down on this childfree couple and pass judgment, and you did call them pathetic and sad. I didn't say you called ALL childfree couples pathetic and sad, now did I? But I'd bet a shiny silver dollar that they are hardly the only couple on whom you've made that judgment, so don't cry at me like you made an innocent comment and are being berated for no reason.

Sorry you are mad at me, but you dont' have a clue about children.

I'm not mad, I'm just really disappointed.

From what I recall you are in your 20's, still in school, without a serioius relationship yet you are here to give advice on having children?

25. Not
still in school,
back in school. I decided to pursue a life of medicine, starting with saving lives as a Paramedic. I've had a few serious relationships, and those women didn't want kids any more than I did. And no, i'm not at all giving advice on having children- I'm not sure where you got that impression. I'm giving advice on NOT having children.
I'm giving advice from the perspective of a person who is happily child-free. I try and help as best I can, though I don't have the luxury of being able to justify condescending to anyone I feel like, simply because one of my sperm once fertilized an egg- a thoroughly pedestrian feat. I just have to deal with the platitudinous remarks, dubiously offered up as actual arguments, of haughty breeders.

What makes you think you are in any way qualified to even begin to give advice to a married couple wondering if children are right for them?

Lurkette can make up her mind as to how my opinions weigh in her mind. My qualifications are simply that I don't want children, and that is one side of her dilemna, just like your qualifications in this matter are that you're a breeder, her other consideration. So far, the only argument FOR CHILDREN has been that all us childfree people are too stupid and unenlightened to see it your way. Well, arguments don't work that way. That's just an opinion. Either way, opinions do not require qualifications. Just like posting in threads doesn't necessarily require a person to have a point...

You have been very 'anti' child in several posts in the past, I have to wonder why.

And you've been very 'pro' child in your posts in the past, where's your fucking point? You've given me no reason to believe you
have a point, but I have to assume maybe there is one anyway, though I can't see it.
