There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?

Why do people have kids?
I just don't get it. If thought about logically I don't see how anyone can say kids don't ruin lives. Kids are expensive and they will ruin a chick's figure. Does anyone have a reason other than the typical "kids are a blessing BS"? I know kids suck b/c I know how much damn money & trouble I caused my parents.
I usually tell young couples to just get a dog.
It'll tie you down almost as much, and cause enough grief you won't NEED a child.
The plus side is you can always sell a dog, or abandon it on the highway.
Kids you're stuck with for at least 18 or so years - if you're lucky.

People have kids because their lives lack meaning and they think that this is the logical next step - to have something that depends on you and can't leave you.
It's a chick thing, when they realize they are tired of being drunken sluts and want to settle down but if they weren't so expensive and such a commitment - dudes would be all about having as many kids possible because it's some animal instinct shit.....
Thats why being a deadbeat dad is so cool...you can still build a race in your image and not cost you a dime - you just have to deal with them when they hunt you down and resent you and bring you on Oprah to confront you...but being on Oprah is kind of a dream of mine...
same here...wanted kids a few years ago and thank god i never had them with the x-wife...now i see my own cousins struggling to feed them self and another mouth.
