It's not so much that having a child is irresponsible. It's if you raise your child irresponsibly.

Big difference. An eighteen year old that barely graduates high school could raise a responsible, intelligent, hard working young man, and a forty year old can raise a burden on society.

I too dislike the notion of parents showcasing/exploiting their babies with tons of ridiculous pictures on facebook. Unfortunately, that is exactly the point of social networking sites. Hence I only do facebook when needed. I feel your pain, and I don't think you're an asshole for thinking this Dekker.

That's because, for humans, natural selection isn't allowed to take place in modern countries.
Really, it does seem like just the opposite. Intelligent people plan their parenthood, having maybe a few kids when they're mature enough, or maybe not having any at all... while idiots (deliberately or accidentally) just breed like crazy, having a kid at age 14 and 7 of the little buggers by 25. (Not to say all teenage mothers are idiots, mind you. ) And the best part is, our taxes end up paying to keep the idiots' offspring alive, so they can go on and breed new generations of idiots!

It seems like I'm surrounded by people who have kids at age 20 or less, and it just makes me cringe. Even if you're intelligent and mature enough to handle it at that age, I doubt you have enough life experience and can afford it.

You've definitely got that right. Some of us young mothers/fathers actually made the choice to become parents and some of us are actually doing a good job at it.


Not sure if you read my whole post, but I definitely acknowledged that. My post was about my concern regarding the large number of people I personally know in real life who are not responsible, mature, or even necessarily caring but are still having kids like it's going out of style.

KBM: Agreed.

Zero: Agreed. The problem with blocking their posts is that I know they are still there even if I can't see them.

Krutomisi: I'm not complaining about Facebook; I'm complaining about my friends. The website is fine; the users are the problem!

Miasmar: Blood carving??? That aside, your post was funny, and I liked it. Thank you for acknowledging the use of second person, also - it was supposed to make my rant seem funnier. Looks like some other folks here might not like my sense of humor.

Amen, brother!

Dorito: First off, Facebook is not the real world. Just wanted to make that distinction real quick. Secondly, I did not jump to the conclusion that having a child is irresponsible; I jumped to the conclusion that certain people I know personally in real life should not be having children, and then I made a post about how it was bothering me in a humorous light with the hope that others would laugh at it. I even added a section where I acknowledged that it is indeed normal to post pictures of your kid(s). Elitist? I just don't really see that part. Lighten up? Bro, you're the one tearing apart a satirical post. In retrospect, maybe it would have been better to put this in Craziness Domain. If anyone wants to move it, move it.

I agree completely.

AlexAR and Rena: Thank you two, also, for being sane!

Man, this thread sure is a load of gibberish and badness. I don't know what drugs Dekker is on, but we'd probably be better off if this thread were to vanish and no one to speak of its existence ever again.

Is it bad that the entire time I read the thread, I was thinking about my eventual child?

I'm not ready yet of course, and I will not delude myself into thinking I am, but I will be one day.
