Morals

You know, if you teach your kids to think and live for themselves (i.e. protecting themselves, taking care of themselves), the rest sort of falls into place.

It's a child's dependence on others for everything that sort of encloses them into this fortress of no good.  That's not to say they shouldn't learn to depend on others, for someone who can't do that is as miserable as one who only does that.

I guess I mean just giving them the tools to figure it out, while showing them it's ok to fuck up and clean yourself up, is the best way you can handle the responsiblity of parenting.

I think theres a massive random element that has to be taken into consideration - the kids themselves. Even at birth they're pretty much a whole complete person in egg form. Regardless of how they are incubated they will hatch into someone anyway. You hear of kids who, given all the advantages, still end up hawking their arse for crack and you get the ones abandoned in a shopping cart who grow up to be well adjusted.

I still think it's only right to look after them as best you can but just don't go beating yourself up if it turns out you've spawned an idiot. It might not be your fault.

Having a dipshit ignorant fuckhead for a son or daughter is my biggest fear, and is why I'm having robot children.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Hell yeah! There should be a line drawn on unconditional love. A fuckhead threshold, if you will.

It's like anything else.  You have control over one person in life, one.  Yourself.  All else = crapshoot.

"Son, you're exactly like the kind of people I have hated all my life.  Please leave.  Here's some tuition money."

just think about all of the conception sex you will be missing out on.

Just think of all the sex I'm having because I don't have kids.

Made me think of a parable for ya-

Man has two sons which he loves and cherishes equally, bestowing upon them everything their hearts desire.

Both sons grew up handsome and healthy, intelligent and successful.

Then one night the sons sneaked into their fathers bedroom and killed him in his sleep for the insurance money.

Ah, the Jacob/Esau and Cain/Abel story.
