you are conflating Freedom with Wisdom. Children are generally Free as a default state.

Funny you say that, I was tempted to say you were conflating freedom with heroism/naivety. :)

In my pretty extensive experience of children (who are, indeed, paragons of freedom until the age of about 3-4), I found that while they are hard little bastards who stick up for themselves like there's no tomorrow, they know full well when to shut up and put up. And are largely not suicidal.

Your experiences have been wildly different from mine.

In what way?

The shutting up and not suicidal.

wow, but what age?

Even if you didn't intend it holist, your line of questioning is hitting the mommy shaming buttons.

You can't make a kid become a force of nature, it's how they are. Some kids are sheer elemental awesomeness, some are really sensitive, and some, like The Little Man, are concentrated little balls of FUCK YOU THAT'S WHY. They're all born square pegs.

They're not all born square pegs, is that what you meant? Or if not, then I'm not following you, can you explain?

Also: let me tell you straight up, I neglected my three oldest children. Nothing major, not 'letting them starve in an unheated hovel' type neglected, I would even say they had well above average childhoods even with that neglecting going on. But I did have to face up to the fact that my own neurosis occupied me to such an extent that I simply did not have the resources/willpower to give them the undivided attention, the 'unconditional positive regard', to use a catchphrase I rather like, they demanded and deserved. That is one of the hardest realisations that I have had to date (I'm 45): I fucked up, and there's no way I'm going to be a really great parent of my three oldest kids now, that boat is gone. What I can do is start being a decent human being and to put effort into maintaining awareness of the fact that my relationship with the boys, if basically positive and convivial, is a little thin, if you know what I mean. We do have those "well hey, I'm glad you're here, what is going on with you these days" conversations, always had them, but they are few and far between.

That said, I am finding it generally very difficult to square your description of the Little Man with what I know about basic decency towards kids and its effects. I'm in no way interested in shaming anyone who is aware that they are doing less than perfectly with their kids and struggle to improve. Self-righteous, opinionated child-abusers, yes. I don't mind shaming them.

So with all that in mind, and let me say again that I have very little information, but the short piece on the the Little Man is evocative, it does express an attitude towards a child, and a perception of a child. I imagine it is somewhat exaggerated, for comic effect (he sounds like Calvin a bit), but if I take it at face value, it appears to be the portrait of the parentless, homeless street child. Constantly alert, self-centered, with the entrenched attitude of seeing the world as an enemy and a nuisance, a medium that hinders his ambitions and is out to get him, but he defiantly keeps on keeping on because.... and this I only imagine, the other way (vulnerability way, admitting feelings of inadequacy and confusion way) lies unbearable insecurity and/or humiliation and/or pain. Neglect, hardship and plenty of varied and pretty much constant threats can make a child be that way.

I have 6 children in the house, many of my friends have large families, I have taught in a person-centered school and I am deeply interested in the subject - I have never met a child who was like the one you describe without any reason, purely out of innate character.

I may be about to learn something, though. I do not in any way mean to shame of look down on you, but I am confused about this situation. I will be grateful if you can respond to clarify.

Thanks DOUR.

All kids are square pegs. All kids meet a world full of round holes. Their reactions to the world trying to shape them into something they're not vary wildly based on temperament, but no kid is born exactly what society wants them to be. Quiet kids are encouraged, shamed, or bullied into being more social; loud kids are shushed; violent kids are put in time out and prison; friendly kids get Stranger Danger lectures.

The Little Man has had it rough. His parents are divorced, he recently lost his grandmother, and he's got another grandparent with a foot out the door. His mom went through a serious rough patch last spring, and now he's in a new school. He is hard because the world is hard and he knows it.

But let me make this very clear: The Little Man was a ball of FUCK YOU from the moment he was born, and no fluffy bullshit would have changed that fact. He is a force of nature unto himself, and my only goal as a parent is to help him learn to direct that energy towards accomplishing his goals instead of screeching like a monkey about every damn thing.



And if you ever, ever use a shitty phrase like "Self-righteous, opinionated child-abusers" to describe myself or anyone else on this board again, I am calling Jimmy Walnuts.

REMEMBER, KIDS!  There's only ONE proper way to parent, and our aspiring guru Holist represents that method!  If you don't listen to him, you're a BAD PARENT!

And if your kid has a defiant attitude towards the world, he's homeless.  Or words to that effect.

That's awesome, because I'm a 45 year old guy who's worked industrial maintenance for the better part of 20 years (with a few breaks for bad behavior), and I don't know SHIT about the meaning of life. 

As an aside, most of my friends are late 20s/30 something or 60 something.  Because all the people within 10 years of my age either way in Tucson are useless boring drunks.  But I don't try to tell anyone the meaning of life because it seems to change every time I almost figure it out.

So I settled on HAVE FUN, KILL A MOTHERFUCKER, and DON'T WORRY ABOUT USELESS SHIT LIKE "THE MEANING OF LIFE".  Oh, and "WHY THE FUCK WON'T THIS GODDAMN ROTARY KILN WORK PROPERLY?"

As happens quite often, I'm seeing the complete opposite of what the rest of the board is. I'm thinking, it sounds like Holist is having a kneejerk reaction to a kid not being told what's what and toeing lines and do as I say and shit and thinking "fuck me - that kid doesn't fit the system. This cannot be allowed" Like what everybody thought about me, back when I was a tiny little ball of FUCK YOU!

Holist, on the other hand, said "okay" and then spent the next however long trying to get out of that habit. Holist is pissed off when faced with the uncomfortable truth that some kids just see right through the machine and, until we figure out how to game it, all we have is FUCK YOU!

Hell, most of the time, it's still my goto

My oldest was born angry and she's still angry. She was an angry baby and an angry kid. She's angry at a world that is an unjust place. She's a social and political activist now, and I'm VERY proud of her. She is an angry, gentle, loving, nurturing, emotionally volatile, justice-seeking, close-to-the-chest human being. Her brother, who is 20 months younger, was born happy and he's still happy, always has been happy. His bad moods are a flash in the pan, he is perceptive and resilient and sunny and impulsive and trouble rolls off his back. People are born with different temperaments. Nurture is only about half the story of personality, if that.

But you're women.   :sad:

You are such a sorry bunch of losers.

None of you appear to be particularly happy, except on occasion, generally accompanied by being manic... pills, job unhappyness, angry children, stressed for money, stressed for time, etc., but you are still completely convinced that your way of going about things is the best possible way...

Roger, in addition to being a reasonably clever moron, you are also a manipulative bastard with entirely too much time on your hands. The reason I am not going to try to respond to your criticism, scattered among manipulative lies as it is, is that there's no point.

LMNO, I think lazy slob best describes you, always ready for the cheap shot, as long as it doesn't occupy much more than a line and a half.

Gogira, your take on life and your fake posturing at times inspire little other than pity.

Nigel, I've heard of children born angry, but stay-angry? Not really, unless they continually have something to be angry about. And people who continuously strive to find something to be angry about don't grow on trees. Twid, you are a bit daft, aren't you?

However, you all have redeeming qualities and I love you. :)

:regret:
I don't live in a perfect world. I live in the world where reasonable cunning and circumspection affords a comfortable and enjoyable life, with the occasional crisis. Most people fail to achieve this and decide to live boring, infuriating, self-harming, maddening lives, but I guess it's a free world.

In my family, and the families that are close to mine, children stay home until the age of three. I know this sounds outrageous, but that's how it is. So their social context is their family until the age of three: and by that time, verbality is entrenched, and most of the dependence is gone (if you raise them resourceful, like you should). And no, the entire social context of those children isn't supportive and positive, but a sufficiently large chunk of it is. They then go on to decent nursery schools and then schools where they actually do stuff they enjoy and generally like going and have a good time. We are a rather small minority, mind you. Most people here, just like there in your wonderland Ammerricka, perceive that they are forced to return to work earlier and put their children in industrial childminding facilities that damage them. I think it is a terrible shame that happens, but the best thing I can do to stop it is not to follow the pattern myself. And you see, the reason we don't mind being called stupid fucking hippies at all, but at all, is that we are having fun.

I am not perfect, in fact, I don't know anyone who is. But there is a difference, and you all know it, between mindlessly repeating the same mistakes day in day out, and making mistakes, noticing them, correcting them and learning from them. I am continuously making an effort to chose the second option.

Oh, and you could live in that world. It's up to you.

I don't tell my kids what to do unless they ask me to. The first bit after they are born, when they are not capable of asking, is a bit more complicated than that, m'kay?

I never really conformed to the System, and I emigrated at age 17, from the then Soviet-dominated Eastern Block to the UK, my last job in the sense of paid employment was when I worked as a pool-attendand for 4 years in my early twenties. Since then I have been a frontal lobe prostitute, and did pretty well out of it, though to tell you the truth, it has become right boring in recent years. I currently support a large family together with my wife working very irregular hours that even out at 25-30 hours a week I guess, I play in a band and have sold music for money... yep, I'm a fucking conformist, who wants parents to beat their kids into shape. Right.

As for my angry daughter, some people simply have more fiery personalities than others. She is a passionate person who is quick to anger and passionate about social justice. She is certainly, compared to the sanguine personalities of my other children, an angry person, but she isn't angry all the time or without reason. She is angry in bursts, when she perceives that someone is suffering a social wrong. She was like this even in pre-school, when she would defend smaller kids from bullies, and rage about how unfair it is that some kids were mean to or didn't want to be friends with the disabled child in her class. I am incredibly proud of her passion for justice and certainly don't appreciate the implication that she's been abused.

I am certainly not happy about being stressed and poor and struggling. That wasn't my favorite turn of events in my life, that's for sure. But I also am, in fact, completely certain that being in school right now IS the correct choice for me, and for my kids, and I am proud of myself for accomplishing what I have so far in life, even if it might not equal the kind of sheltered, comfortable complacency others consider "success". I'm proud of myself and of my kids, and of the job I've done raising my kids despite hardships and disadvantages.

So, Mr. Comfortable, you can just go fuck right off. :lol:

As for my angry daughter, some people simply have more fiery personalities than others. She is a passionate person who is quick to anger and passionate about social justice. She is certainly, compared to the sanguine personalities of my other children, an angry person, but she isn't angry all the time or without reason. She is angry in bursts, when she perceives that someone is suffering a social wrong. She was like this even in pre-school, when she would defend smaller kids from bullies, and rage about how unfair it is that some kids were mean to or didn't want to be friends with the disabled child in her class. I am incredibly proud of her passion for justice and certainly don't appreciate the implication that she's been abused.

I am certainly not happy about being stressed and poor and struggling. That wasn't my favorite turn of events in my life, that's for sure. But I also am, in fact, completely certain that being in school right now IS the correct choice for me, and for my kids, and I am proud of myself for accomplishing what I have so far in life, even if it might not equal the kind of sheltered, comfortable complacency others consider "success". I'm proud of myself and of my kids, and of the job I've done raising my kids despite hardships and disadvantages.

So, Mr. Comfortable, you can just go fuck right off. :lol:

If only you'd thought to sell your frontal lobes instead of educating them. Then you could have afforded better childcare than your frontal-lobe-damaged-uneducated-brain could have provided!

Yes; and clearly any lack of happiness or money I may experience is the result of my poor choices. If I'd made better choices, I wouldn't be a divorced mother of color, I'd have been born a wealthy white man.

I flat out asked him. He refused to answer and decided to call me daft instead. Even if US birthrates are below replacement rate, that doesn't take into consideration how much of the world's resources the US consumes, and why a reduction in US population (or UK population, in this case) would kinda be a good thing.

That said, I don't give a fuck about people in developed countries having big families, because the population issue is complicated. Poverty and lack of education and birth control opportunities for women in poor and patriarchal countries are far more of a problem than some lower-middle-class jackass in Hungary having a fuckton of kids.

I'm not going to hold it against her because I can see her point. My point is different, and it's the same point you're making. It makes perfect sense to have as many children as possible if you expect a good chunk of them will die. But in an industrialized nation, it actually is depriving others. Because adding one American is like adding several people elsewhere. And you know, it's not like that one person isn't eventually going to have a bit of a carbon footprint larger than they would elsewhere in the world, heating the planet up even further and making FOOD and WATER even more scarce, thus indirectly fucking over the third world even more.

Being an American with 10 children is like being a Cthulhu worshipper. You get eaten last.

But wait!  The man isn't responsible for how many kids are born!  That's a mommy shaming thing.

Let's put it this way.

When I hear about people having more than 3 children, I feel like I shouldn't reproduce at all because they already had kids for me and it would be irresponsible of ME to have any myself.

You know, tragedy of the commons and all that shit.

"If you think having 6 kids is okay, I want you to imagine telling brown children in foreign lands where all the food went."

And remember, Twid, that's MOMMY SHAMING.  Because dads have nothing to do with the reproduction of children.  Ever.

I'm not going to hold it against her because I can see her point. My point is different, and it's the same point you're making. It makes perfect sense to have as many children as possible if you expect a good chunk of them will die don't have any other options because you live in a region where you can't get birth control and are considered a possession whose only value is reproduction.

Being an American with 10 children is like being a Cthulhu worshipper. You get eaten last.

Just want to AGAIN point out that overpopulation has nothing to do with people in developed countries having large families. It has to do with poverty and lack of opportunities and birth control in developing countries.

Let's just try GA's "logic" out on some other social issues, shall we?

"If you don't agree with Israel's policies, I want to imagine you taking a shit on a mass grave at Auschwitz."

"If you don't hate all cops, I want you to imagine telling Rodney King to walk it off."

"If you don't agree with WalMart's HR policies, I want you to imagine slipping Stalin a bit of tongue."

I mean, he has probably been sitting on that facebook/email forward for MONTHS waiting for his chance.

Not disagreeing with that either. I was going to make a point about availability of birth control and women's education too, but you already did an able job of it.

Anyway, the point I was making was that within Holist's conditions, having that amount of children is in fact a bit shocking on a few different levels, and I don't feel like I am shaming him or the missus by pointing it out. I really want to know what the rationale behind it was, because they clearly have access to birth control in the UK, don't really need to have more than 2 or 3 children from a survival angle, and unless Holist has pound sterling shooting out of his asshole, those children actually compete for resources rather than benefit by it. I mean, I could be wrong. Holist might well be a rich motherfucker who can support a large number of children and spread relative, Western, economic comfort equally among them.

On one hand, I feel like I ought to say something about criticizing someone on how many children they have is a form of mommy shaming / slut shaming in itself.

On the other hand, I don't like Holist very much.

Sometimes you just have to dive in the gutter and wallow.

Oh, definitely. I don't think I'm in the mood tonight, though. I *might* be able to push some new content out over in TFY;S if I try, but don't hold your breath.



Is this thing on? Good, now
LISTEN UP SCHMUCKS:
The next time you feel the need to tell someone off for having so many kids,
I want you to imagine walking up to their youngest daughter,
four years old, and telling her:

Your mommy and daddy are bad parents because they chose to have you.
I feel like this attack is aimed at me since i am one of those horrible people who thinks that the worldpopulation has at least 1 digit too much.
Therefore, my response:
I never feel the need to tell someone off for having many kids. I do feel the need to get them to think about overpopulation and about the balance between life-quality and life-quantity.
There is a clear line between asking someone not to have a 7th child (which I am not doing. But alright, I will play that role for the sake of argument) and being mean to the 6th child. And just in case you don't understand the difference: The 6th child is real and innocent so should not be hurt while the 7th child cannot be hurt yet because it doesn't exist yet. Stop defending imaginary children, that is unhealthy and silly. (annoying isn't it, when somebody paints an inaccurate picture of your position. That is called a strawman iirc)
Furthermore, why would anyone talk to a child about the parent's parenting skills? I cannot see a possible reason for that. Even when your intent is to hurt the child that is not a very good technique. Not even psychotics would do that.

And why point out that birth control issues, equal rights issues, and poverty are actually things, when you can toss people under the bus by half-assedly saying it's "mommy shaming".

Because we all know that women will use a vacuum cleaner on men if that's what it takes to get the sperm out.  Men have no interest in reproduction or the sometimes-irresponsible methods by which it is achieved.  It is apparently the woman's fault.

Or so I am told.

My bad, Roger and Twid, you're right about the gendered terms. The thread title was mommy shaming and that's what came out.

regret, you're totally right that talking about hypothetical future children is different from talking about existing kids. I think what I was trying to say (won't speak for GA) is that a lot of times when people say "why did you have so many kids?" what is heard is "those kids that exist should not be" and however accurate that might be from a statistical standpoint it's still kinda gross. I knew a mom of many kids and she got all flavors of shit she didn't deserve from people because of it, which is definitely flavoring my response to this.

I think we should get back on track, here.

1.  I am reasonably certain that mom didn't spend all her time telling everyone else what bad parents they are.  Pretty sure you wouldn't be defending her if she did.

2.  I am reasonably sure that woman isn't a misogynistic turdball who worries about how mothers are DOIN' IT WRONG because THEY HAVE NO MAN TO GUIDE THEM.

This isn't a case of "tell those fuckers to stop breeding", it's a case of pointing out a hypocrite who farts out all manner of criticism while fucking the family dog.  Go home, holist, you're drunk.

My dad is an only child from rural Ireland who only became an only child because Grandma got polio and ended up paralyzed from the waist down. They were also good Catholics. Good Catholics who for completely unforseen reasons were not fruitful and ended up dividing by half.

Yep. Only son of an only son.

Twidgramps and Twidgrams remained a loving couple the entire time. And we all pretty much told Gramps to shut up when he said that he was a subpar husband.

Plenty of assholes would have headed for the hills.

To be fair, though, they did argue a lot. They were an elderly Irish couple and Grandpa is easy to anger. I get that from him, actually. I'm a bit hot tempered myself. My shyness just balances it out.

Wow, I really didn't expect that to be controversial. Have none of you ever seen people making snide remarks in grocery stores about people who have more children than they can control? If that's the kind of shit you say, then yes, sooner or later a child of a large family will overhear you. Maybe not directly, maybe it's just your kid going up to their kid on the playground and saying "My mom said that your mom has more kids than brains." While we're grossly exaggerating what people actually said, saying it's okay to think of human beings as wastes of space as long as we don't tell them to their face is like saying "Being racist is fine, as long as you're tactful about it. What they won't know won't hurt them."

It all comes back to the old game of controlling reproductive rights. If you're saying that only wealthy people whose philosophies you agree with should have more than N kids, then you're saying that those other people - the ones with the wrong values and inferior lifestyles - shouldn't. If God wanted them to breed, he'd have given them a four bedroom house and your enlightened opinions on everything, right?

QG is right, it is judgey concern trolling. If you want to go shit on overweight people because it's socially acceptable to do so, go ahead, but don't try to kid yourself that you're being a crusader for social justice by redirecting food from people that overeat to people that are starving.

If you were actually seriously concerned that someone had more children than they could provide for - you'd offer to help provide for the children. If your concern only extends to mocking the parents, that's not concern, that's being judgmental.

Frankly, it makes more sense to mock people for promoting the paradigm of "children are entirely at the mercy of they're biogenitors' ability to provide for them" in the first place. Why don't we offer universal childcare, give parents both maternity and paternity leave, and extend school breakfast to school dinner?

Furthermore, why would anyone talk to a child about the parent's parenting skills? I cannot see a possible reason for that. Even when your intent is to hurt the child that is not a very good technique. Not even psychotics would do that.

Man we go to different grocery stores. Of the top of my head, evangelicals tend to gravitate towards this sort script:
"Is that a lip piercing? You're going to hell. Stop trying to be punky rebel and go to church like your parents."
"My parents said it was okay."
"Your parents are AGENTS OF SATAN."

No, actually. Not once.

QuoteWhile we're grossly exaggerating what people actually said, saying it's okay to think of human beings as wastes of space as long as we don't tell them to their face is like saying "Being racist is fine, as long as you're tactful about it. What they won't know won't hurt them."

Except the part where race has nothing to do with overpopulation and resource consumption. And I've never said that human beings are wastes of space. If I felt that way I would be in favor of warfare. I am a pacifist. A rather adamant one at that.

QuoteIt all comes back to the old game of controlling reproductive rights.

No, it doesn't. I'm not disputing your right to have as many children as you want, I just question the wisdom of it after a certain point. Especially if someone else's kids elsewhere are being deprived as a result.

QuoteIf you're saying that only wealthy people whose philosophies you agree with should have more than N kids

Actually, I'm not. I'm a socialist. I would prefer that wealthy people not have kids at all. I'm just saying that if they, for some  reason choose to, they can provide for all of those children and give them all a fair chance. Who has a better chance of thriving? All ten kids of a billionnaire or one of ten from a middle class couple?

Quotethen you're saying that those other people - the ones with the wrong values and inferior lifestyles - shouldn't. If God wanted them to breed, he'd have given them a four bedroom house and your enlightened opinions on everything, right?

Strawman.

QuoteQG is right, it is judgey concern trolling.

I'm not trolling. Judgy perhaps, but not trolling. And certainly concerned. I'm more concerned with the survival of my species than the survival of my name.

QuoteIf you want to go shit on overweight people because it's socially acceptable to do so, go ahead, but don't try to kid yourself that you're being a crusader for social justice by redirecting food from people that overeat to people that are starving.

My girlfriend is obese. She also is incapable of eating most foods or a significant amount of calories. So, um, in your own words, go fuck yourself.

QuoteIf you were actually seriously concerned that someone had more children than they could provide for - you'd offer to help provide for the children. If your concern only extends to mocking the parents, that's not concern, that's being judgmental.

Here's the thing dude. I expressed shock over the amount of baby batter that Holist has been slinging around. I asked for clarification and expressed my concerns. He has not clarified and has instead decided to call me stupid without answering my question.

QuoteFrankly, it makes more sense to mock people for promoting the paradigm of "children are entirely at the mercy of they're biogenitors' ability to provide for them" in the first place. Why don't we offer universal childcare, give parents both maternity and paternity leave, and extend school breakfast to school dinner?

Also, Gogira isn't a weak and vulnerable female.

I would be loathe to make her cross. I respect her opinion, and will defend her opinion even when I disagree with it, if only for her integrity.


Not that she needs my support anyway. I'm just trying to make sure she doesn't do that thing to me that we don't speak of....

But no, seriously, I actually do hold Gogira's opinions in high regard. She would have to do something quite egregious to lose that regard, and I don't see her doing that anytime in this incarnation. She's one of those folk that if she told me I was wrong, I would actually consider the fact that I was. And if I decided to continue to disagree with her on that point, I would have to make damn sure I was certain.

You don't want me to use other's interactions with you as illustrations for rhetorical points. That's fair, and I'll respect that.

It's the bolded bit that gets to me. My direct interaction with holist in this thread so far as been:

Fuck you.

Quote from: Golden Applesauce on November 18, 2013, 11:26:39 PM
I don't really feel like sharing it with you, because you'll probably call me and my loved ones "sorry losers."

plus this comment:

Quote from: Golden Applesauce on November 19, 2013, 12:28:54 AM
On the other hand, I don't like holist very much.

I feel that those statements are 1) straightforward, and 2) strongly characterize my relationship with holist in this thread as antagonistic. Given later ambiguous input, they would strongly influence interpretation of that ambiguity towards one consistent with an antagonistic relationship. I don't find it plausible that you honestly believe I'm trying to champion holist.

Which begs the question of why you'd type that out. The most generous interpretation I have is that I crossed an extremely important line, and you wanted to shock me into paying attention. Least generous is that you wanted to wound me, and accuracy be damned as long as it was hurtful - but that's not consistent with earlier observations of you being generally reasonable, thoughtful, and of not being suddenly and spontaneously spiteful.

The intermediate position is that you wanted position me closer to holist in social space and distance yourself from me. As holist is wildly and deservedly unpopular at the moment, this would weaken my social standing, and to the extent that I am not part of whatever in-group you are moving towards, strengthen yours. That's behavior I associate with people insecure in their standing in an important group, which, again, is not consistent with earlier observations of you. I read the bulk of your interactions with other established members as indicative of a confident peer-to-peer relationship, and from others get the impression that you're generally well respected. You could have not posted that and been fine. Apart from holist and arguably that one comment from Roger, no one's been attacking you in this thread; to the contrary, the entire thread up to the point when I used impact font was the board broadly telling holist that trying to make mothers feel guilty about their children was misogynistic and unacceptable. So I'm not aware of anything that would cause you to suddenly start feeling insecure or otherwise begin to act out of character, which means that I have a hard time taking the intermediate position either.

Usually when I fail to understand something to this extent, it means that there's a massive amount of context I'm ignoring?

It is another form of mommy shaming. You don't know what led to them having a bigger family, and being a judgey concern troll about it isn't something to be proud of.

Birthrates in the US are well below replacement levels, even with some people having "more than their share."

Anyway, the point I was making was that within Holist's conditions, having that amount of children is in fact a bit shocking on a few different levels, and I don't feel like I am shaming him or the missus by pointing it out. I really want to know what the rationale behind it was, because they clearly have access to birth control in the UK, don't really need to have more than 2 or 3 children from a survival angle, and unless Holist has pound sterling shooting out of his asshole, those children actually compete for resources rather than benefit by it. I mean, I could be wrong. Holist might well be a rich motherfucker who can support a large number of children and spread relative, Western, economic comfort equally among them.

They're from 2 or 3 different mothers, if I'm not mistaken. Most likely the burden of supporting them has fallen primarily on the mothers.

I think they live in Hungary or some other 3rd world country, not the UK. If I recall, they tried moving to the UK a year or so ago, and they couldn't hack it so they moved back to the jungle or wherever.

Oh. Well, that's a literal dick move on Holist's part. No wonder he was an admittedly shitty father to the first three.

Though, even that said, If I had 3 kids with wife number one and got divorced, I would probably try and woo a woman who already had children and had no desire for any more. You know, emotional support is a resource too, like.

That's just me though.

Wow, I really didn't expect that to be controversial. Have none of you ever seen people making snide remarks in grocery stores about people who have more children than they can control? If that's the kind of shit you say, then yes, sooner or later a child of a large family will overhear you. Maybe not directly, maybe it's just your kid going up to their kid on the playground and saying "My mom said that your mom has more kids than brains." While we're grossly exaggerating what people actually said, saying it's okay to think of human beings as wastes of space as long as we don't tell them to their face is like saying "Being racist is fine, as long as you're tactful about it. What they won't know won't hurt them."

It all comes back to the old game of controlling reproductive rights. If you're saying that only wealthy people whose philosophies you agree with should have more than N kids, then you're saying that those other people - the ones with the wrong values and inferior lifestyles - shouldn't. If God wanted them to breed, he'd have given them a four bedroom house and your enlightened opinions on everything, right?

QG is right, it is judgey concern trolling. If you want to go shit on overweight people because it's socially acceptable to do so, go ahead, but don't try to kid yourself that you're being a crusader for social justice by redirecting food from people that overeat to people that are starving.

If you were actually seriously concerned that someone had more children than they could provide for - you'd offer to help provide for the children. If your concern only extends to mocking the parents, that's not concern, that's being judgmental.

Frankly, it makes more sense to mock people for promoting the paradigm of "children are entirely at the mercy of they're biogenitors' ability to provide for them" in the first place. Why don't we offer universal childcare, give parents both maternity and paternity leave, and extend school breakfast to school dinner?

Show a man almost certain death, let him live through it, and then get him a wife and see what happens.

And truth be told, the Black Death was the only major economic leveler in Western History.

Except the part where race has nothing to do with overpopulation and resource consumption. And I've never said that human beings are wastes of space. If I felt that way I would be in favor of warfare. I am a pacifist. A rather adamant one at that.

Point of order:  Every war has resulted in a net population GAIN.  No shit.  People fuck faster than you can shoot them.  (Sarcasm aside, the boom after the war invariable makes up and exceeds the casualties of the war, in every case).

The only event that significantly reduced the human population was the black plague.  And THAT didn't last long, either.

There's another event that significantly reduced the human population.

I'm drawing a blank. I do know at one point we almost faced extinction, and worldwide population floated around 2000.

It's affecting Japan and a few other nations right now.

Radioactivity on fertility rates?

There was that, and more people died than in the Black Death. But it's not what I was referring to.

You see, it turns out that living a long healthy life and having the possibility of being something other than a breeding machine severely impacts a human's desire to gestate and push out child after child at the expense of their own health and longevity.

GA, stick to white knighting for holist, I'm good.

You don't want me to use other's interactions with you as illustrations for rhetorical points. That's fair, and I'll respect that.

It's the bolded bit that gets to me. My direct interaction with holist in this thread so far as been:

Quote from: Golden Applesauce on November 14, 2013, 02:59:06 PM
Dear Holist:

Fuck you.

Quote from: Golden Applesauce on November 18, 2013, 11:26:39 PM
I don't really feel like sharing it with you, because you'll probably call me and my loved ones "sorry losers."

plus this comment:

Quote from: Golden Applesauce on November 19, 2013, 12:28:54 AM
On the other hand, I don't like holist very much.

I feel that those statements are 1) straightforward, and 2) strongly characterize my relationship with holist in this thread as antagonistic. Given later ambiguous input, they would strongly influence interpretation of that ambiguity towards one consistent with an antagonistic relationship. I don't find it plausible that you honestly believe I'm trying to champion holist.

Which begs the question of why you'd type that out. The most generous interpretation I have is that I crossed an extremely important line, and you wanted to shock me into paying attention. Least generous is that you wanted to wound me, and accuracy be damned as long as it was hurtful - but that's not consistent with earlier observations of you being generally reasonable, thoughtful, and of not being suddenly and spontaneously spiteful.

The intermediate position is that you wanted position me closer to holist in social space and distance yourself from me. As holist is wildly and deservedly unpopular at the moment, this would weaken my social standing, and to the extent that I am not part of whatever in-group you are moving towards, strengthen yours. That's behavior I associate with people insecure in their standing in an important group, which, again, is not consistent with earlier observations of you. I read the bulk of your interactions with other established members as indicative of a confident peer-to-peer relationship, and from others get the impression that you're generally well respected. You could have not posted that and been fine. Apart from holist and arguably that one comment from Roger, no one's been attacking you in this thread; to the contrary, the entire thread up to the point when I used impact font was the board broadly telling holist that trying to make mothers feel guilty about their children was misogynistic and unacceptable. So I'm not aware of anything that would cause you to suddenly start feeling insecure or otherwise begin to act out of character, which means that I have a hard time taking the intermediate position either.

Usually when I fail to understand something to this extent, it means that there's a massive amount of context I'm ignoring?

Dude, just for the record, your "social standing", such as it is, has been shot for quite some time, totally independent of Holist. I take you off ignore from time to time just to see whether you've grown the fuck up yet or are still grandstanding and passive-aggressively trying (and failing in everyone's eyes but your own) to tell people what.

I'm not saying this to be mean or to fit in with the crowd, and honestly I think you can do a lot better for yourself. You aren't stupid or a bad person or anything, but the potshots get so fucking old that they just aren't worth reading anymore.

It is another form of mommy shaming. You don't know what led to them having a bigger family, and being a judgey concern troll about it isn't something to be proud of.

If you approached this with the right wrong maximally uncharitable frame of mind, and for whatever reason are compelled to throw in allegations of sexism you have prior evidence to believe are untrue, you might read that response as:

Quote
Attention weak and vulnerable female:

You appear to not be in total solidarity with tribal doctrine, as exemplified by the opinions currently held by Largest And Hairiest Male Ape-Man-Yeti-Thing Around. You will cease this at once, and return to only speaking supportively of the Largest And Hairiest Male Ape-Man-Yeti-Thing Around. Otherwise, when, not if, weak and vulnerable female next runs into trouble, Largest And Hairiest Male Ape-Man-Yeti-Thing Around might not extend his aegis of iron-haired protection to her. Largest And Hairiest Male Ape-Man-Yeti-Thing Around is stating this out loud as a warning to any other weak and vulnerable females who might be thinking of stepping.

Point of order:  Every war has resulted in a net population GAIN.  No shit.  People fuck faster than you can shoot them.  (Sarcasm aside, the boom after the war invariable makes up and exceeds the casualties of the war, in every case).

The only event that significantly reduced the human population was the black plague.  And THAT didn't last long, either.

So hey, it's quite simple: I didn't aim for no reproduction rate, I just got married young, had three boys in succession, my wife left me after 13 years and then a while later I found my ideal spouse and current wife, who happened to have two kids of her own. Then we went and had a kid as well. So that's six, not planned or aimed at, more of a drifting, aimless thing. :)

As for my angry daughter, some people simply have more fiery personalities than others. She is a passionate person who is quick to anger and passionate about social justice. She is certainly, compared to the sanguine personalities of my other children, an angry person, but she isn't angry all the time or without reason. She is angry in bursts, when she perceives that someone is suffering a social wrong. She was like this even in pre-school, when she would defend smaller kids from bullies, and rage about how unfair it is that some kids were mean to or didn't want to be friends with the disabled child in her class. I am incredibly proud of her passion for justice and certainly don't appreciate the implication that she's been abused.

I can relate to that, I'd call it a strong sense of justice combined with the willingness to do something about it, Courage. I don't think I implied she had, I was talking about something different. I didn't understand or misunderstood what you meant by your oldest being angry a lot. I do understand now, thank you for the clarification.

I am certainly not happy about being stressed and poor and struggling. That wasn't my favorite turn of events in my life, that's for sure. But I also am, in fact, completely certain that being in school right now IS the correct choice for me, and for my kids, and I am proud of myself for accomplishing what I have so far in life, even if it might not equal the kind of sheltered, comfortable complacency others consider "success". I'm proud of myself and of my kids, and of the job I've done raising my kids despite hardships and disadvantages.

Well I recently had the pleasure to try thrift living with 6 kids in the UK. The money we lived on was just enough for rent, bills, a monotonous but okay diet, the petrol we needed and precious little else. I applaud your efforts and I'm sorry if I made the impression I denigrated them in any way.

So, Mr. Comfortable, you can just go fuck right off. :lol:

Look, I like you, I think you are right, being in school is the right choice. But do you actually think being constantly stressed out is a requirement?

Let's put it this way.

When I hear about people having more than 3 children, I feel like I shouldn't reproduce at all because they already had kids for me and it would be irresponsible of ME to have any myself.

You know, tragedy of the commons and all that shit.

"If you think having 6 kids is okay, I want you to imagine telling brown children in foreign lands where all the food went."

And remember, Twid, that's MOMMY SHAMING.  Because dads have nothing to do with the reproduction of children.  Ever.

Let me explain again that though I live in a household currently containing six minors, I in fact have only sired 4. That might be somewhat more than a fair share, but we are further below reproduction rate than even the US, so it hardly puts a dent in a steady decline of the population...

:regret:
I don't live in a perfect world. I live in the world where reasonable cunning and circumspection affords a comfortable and enjoyable life, with the occasional crisis. Most people fail to achieve this and decide to live boring, infuriating, self-harming, maddening lives, but I guess it's a free world.

In my family, and the families that are close to mine, children stay home until the age of three. I know this sounds outrageous, but that's how it is. So their social context is their family until the age of three: and by that time, verbality is entrenched, and most of the dependence is gone (if you raise them resourceful, like you should). And no, the entire social context of those children isn't supportive and positive, but a sufficiently large chunk of it is. They then go on to decent nursery schools and then schools where they actually do stuff they enjoy and generally like going and have a good time. We are a rather small minority, mind you. Most people here, just like there in your wonderland Ammerricka, perceive that they are forced to return to work earlier and put their children in industrial childminding facilities that damage them. I think it is a terrible shame that happens, but the best thing I can do to stop it is not to follow the pattern myself. And you see, the reason we don't mind being called stupid fucking hippies at all, but at all, is that we are having fun.

I am not perfect, in fact, I don't know anyone who is. But there is a difference, and you all know it, between mindlessly repeating the same mistakes day in day out, and making mistakes, noticing them, correcting them and learning from them. I am continuously making an effort to chose the second option.

Oh, and you could live in that world. It's up to you.

Golden Applesauce:

Okay, fuck me. Do you know why you were suicidal?

I don't tell my kids what to do unless they ask me to. The first bit after they are born, when they are not capable of asking, is a bit more complicated than that, m'kay?

I never really conformed to the System, and I emigrated at age 17, from the then Soviet-dominated Eastern Block to the UK, my last job in the sense of paid employment was when I worked as a pool-attendand for 4 years in my early twenties. Since then I have been a frontal lobe prostitute, and did pretty well out of it, though to tell you the truth, it has become right boring in recent years. I currently support a large family together with my wife working very irregular hours that even out at 25-30 hours a week I guess, I play in a band and have sold music for money... yep, I'm a fucking conformist, who wants parents to beat their kids into shape. Right.

Anyway, the point I was making was that within Holist's conditions, having that amount of children is in fact a bit shocking on a few different levels, and I don't feel like I am shaming him or the missus by pointing it out. I really want to know what the rationale behind it was, because they clearly have access to birth control in the UK, don't really need to have more than 2 or 3 children from a survival angle, and unless Holist has pound sterling shooting out of his asshole, those children actually compete for resources rather than benefit by it. I mean, I could be wrong. Holist might well be a rich motherfucker who can support a large number of children and spread relative, Western, economic comfort equally among them.

I think they live in Hungary or some other 3rd world country, not the UK. If I recall, they tried moving to the UK a year or so ago, and they couldn't hack it so they moved back to the jungle or wherever.

Actually, I think the mild neglect and preoccupation I was packing along with enough money and working from home which equals basically available for services at all times is actually above average in terms of dadhood.

Though, even that said, If I had 3 kids with wife number one and got divorced, I would probably try and woo a woman who already had children and had no desire for any more. You know, emotional support is a resource too, like.

Except the part where race has nothing to do with overpopulation and resource consumption. And I've never said that human beings are wastes of space. If I felt that way I would be in favor of warfare. I am a pacifist. A rather adamant one at that.

Point of order:  Every war has resulted in a net population GAIN.  No shit.  People fuck faster than you can shoot them.  (Sarcasm aside, the boom after the war invariable makes up and exceeds the casualties of the war, in every case).

The only event that significantly reduced the human population was the black plague.  And THAT didn't last long, either.

There's another event that significantly reduced the human population.

I'm drawing a blank. I do know at one point we almost faced extinction, and worldwide population floated around 2000.

It's affecting Japan and a few other nations right now.

Radioactivity on fertility rates?

Prosperity.

Well, that's the ultimate win/win, if we can make it sustainable for everyone.
Quote from: Mrs. Nigelson on November 19, 2013, 07:37:39 AM
You see, it turns out that living a long healthy life and having the possibility of being something other than a breeding machine severely impacts a human's desire to gestate and push out child after child at the expense of their own health and longevity.

Prosperity is relative, and one of the key markers is education, which is not resource-intensive.
Can we at least all agree that this is a good thing?
I'm most interested in the opinions of the pro-breeding camp.

Well I agree, and I'm pro-breeding. Not a camp, though.

So hey, it's quite simple: I didn't aim for no reproduction rate, I just got married young, had three boys in succession, my wife left me after 13 years and then a while later I found my ideal spouse and current wife, who happened to have two kids of her own. Then we went and had a kid as well. So that's six, not planned or aimed at, more of a drifting, aimless thing. :)

So, no planning ahead or anything.

Seems very...enlightened.

Well no, it  wasn't particularly enlightened at all. Liza, this youngest child, we both wanted to have. Sorry. :)

On one hand, I feel like I ought to say something about criticizing someone on how many children they have is a form of mommy shaming / slut shaming in itself.

On the other hand, I don't like Holist very much.

That's a good point.

But as long as he's accusing everyone else of being terrible parents for arbitrary reasons, why not?

I wasn't accusing anyone. I was expressing surprise that someone would just be like the Little Man she described for no particular reason. Turns out there's plenty reason. That's what I was after when I asked about it.

You seem to be working under the mistaken impression that people on this forum actually want to engage you on a serious level.

Nope.

You do mention that you both planned to have Liza too, and you had 3 boys and your current had 2 kids so... the question as to why you both would want to add one more is still there. What about your ex, did she have any more kids after leaving you?

Blight,
Let's make this some math, because I'm genuinely curious about reproductive dynamics post divorce. As a counter example, neither of my biological parents have produced offspring since splitting.

Well you know, it's an old-fashioned notion, but we are in lurve, and we wanted to have a baby. My ex didn't have any more kids, in fact, she now claims to be incapable of staying in a relationship and after a few tempestuous ones, five years after our divorce, she lives alone. On the other hand, my wife's ex, who is not a stinking hippy but I believe does need enhanced condom-skills, and who had had three kids with another woman before he had the two we are now raising, went on to engender a sixth little person recently with a new partner. Neither of those people are contributing money to the upkeep of their children, though they do give of their time. A bit of a bummer, but we're more or less over it.

No, I don't pull that shit on my kids, I like them, they like me, we get along.

Also: I don't think they are sad losers. I do think that you are one.

1.  Do you pull it on your mentally defective wife?

2.  You yourself said that everyone here are sorry losers, liar.

QuoteYou are such a sorry bunch of losers.

DO YOU DENY SAYING THAT?

Yes.

You're a liar.

Look, I like you, I think you are right, being in school is the right choice. But do you actually think being constantly stressed out is a requirement?

Oh you're right, I'll totally just stop now. :roll:

Look, dumbass, I'm not "constantly stressed out". I'm not even sure where you pulled that assessment from (oh wait, yes I am. Your ass). What I am is working really hard because I have four children to raise, a house to keep, and grades to maintain, and nobody else is going to do this for me.

Yes, that is stressful on some fundamental levels, but there is only so much an individual can do to mitigate survival-related stresses. Like consciously relaxing, taking time for myself, getting enough sleep, making tome to exercise and get out into greenspaces. I do those things.

IT ISN'T REALLY ABOUT BEING HAPPY IT IS JUST NOT BEING STRESSED OUT SO MUCH AND FINDING ENJOYMENT IN LIFE.

Are you sure you don't just want other people to stop working so hard because they might succeed, thereby making you feel bad about yourself?

Especially unmarried people who don't have another person there to pick up the slack?

Because that does seem to be an undercurrent, there.

But my comment about being constantly stressed out was more general: the responses I get seem to indicate that the majority opinion of the vocal people here (also, recalling the "let's make happyness a mental illness" thread) is that being stressed out a lot by the iniquities of the world is a requirement of honest living. I disagree with that.

I am pretty certain, for a number of reasons. I generate about 55-60 percent of our income, at present I do about 70% of housework (90% of the cooking), Mondays and Wednesdays, when my wife is off to her part-time job, I am with the 3.5-year old who is still at home all day.

Also, just because someone (I'm not sure it was you) hinted at my being rich: I am not rich. We (8 people, 2 dogs, 1 cat) live on about 4 thousand dollars a month, of which fully one eighth is the rent we get from my wife's flat (I don't own property and don't plan to).

Also, I consider myself successful. :)

The other 40% comes from the Jimmy Saville Society.

I don't think the cost of living in Hungary is particularly high. They must live like kings on 48,000 kronors or whatever monetary units they use a year.

I converted it to dollers for your convenience, dumb thingie. Do the fucking math, 48,000 a year, 8 people. Food is actually a bit cheaper in the US, petrol is way cheaper in the US. Accommodation is way cheaper here. We are, incomewise, lower middle-class. I even suspect your household may spend more. Certainly not a lot less.

Look, I like you, I think you are right, being in school is the right choice. But do you actually think being constantly stressed out is a requirement?

Oh you're right, I'll totally just stop now. :roll:

Look, dumbass, I'm not "constantly stressed out". I'm not even sure where you pulled that assessment from (oh wait, yes I am. Your ass). What I am is working really hard because I have four children to raise, a house to keep, and grades to maintain, and nobody else is going to do this for me.

Yes, that is stressful on some fundamental levels, but there is only so much an individual can do to mitigate survival-related stresses. Like consciously relaxing, taking time for myself, getting enough sleep, making tome to exercise and get out into greenspaces. I do those things.

Don't call me dumbass, please, it's rude. I've been reading you for a long time. You don't appear to be particularly stressed, and indeed you are working hard, I can see that. As for your situation, I'm sure I have no idea, with the two of us supporting 6 kids and a household.... True, I don't go to college as well, and I do appreciate that your performance is quite outstanding. But I do a number of things besides the money-making work as well. But my comment about being constantly stressed out was more general: the responses I get seem to indicate that the majority opinion of the vocal people here (also, recalling the "let's make happyness a mental illness" thread) is that being stressed out a lot by the iniquities of the world is a requirement of honest living. I disagree with that.

I'd just like to point out that:

But for how long?

Until she scores a role in the reboot of Life Goes On.

He's a bum, sits around the house all day, not even bothering with personal hygiene (judging from the pics he's posted).

Sooner or later, she'll wise up and give him the boot.

So this is the sort of thing that makes you feel better, right? :)

Thank you, but no, thank you. Just because everybody (almost everybody) hates me, there's no reason for me to disdain everyone. There is a particular flavour of childishly deluded posturing that only characterises a few people here. I'm pretty okay with Cain, though he has frequently said he hates me and is ignoring me. Pent is an interesting character and you've gotta respect his sea-canoeing chops. :regret: is interesting, I have no bone to pick with Faust - and there are others. They tend to be occasional posters, because... there is that elephant in the room. :)

FUCK YUO! I'VE LOST MORE IN THE LAST TEN MINUTES THAN MOST OUTLANDISHLY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE WILL ACCUMULATE IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFETIME. IF PAYNE GETS IN THEN SO DO I, GODDAMNIT  :argh!:

No, I don't pull that shit on my kids, I like them, they like me, we get along.

Also: I don't think they are sad losers. I do think that you are one.

1.  Do you pull it on your mentally defective wife?

2.  You yourself said that everyone here are sorry losers, liar.

QuoteYou are such a sorry bunch of losers.

DO YOU DENY SAYING THAT?

Yes. I claim that my statement "You are such a sorry bunch of losers" did not in fact mean "Everyone here is a sorry loser", it only referred to a subset of people who had responded in that thread. In particular you, Gogira, and to a lesser extent LMNO.

The other 40% comes from the Jimmy Saville Society.

The other 40% comes from my wife. :)

Until SHE leaves your ass.

I think now that we're about to celebrate our fifth anniversary and are more connected than ever before, with a breakthrough in handling childhood shit in my therapy, there's sort of less of a risk of that. But, of course, you are right. until she leaves me. :)

Look, I like you, I think you are right, being in school is the right choice. But do you actually think being constantly stressed out is a requirement?

Oh you're right, I'll totally just stop now. :roll:

Look, dumbass, I'm not "constantly stressed out". I'm not even sure where you pulled that assessment from (oh wait, yes I am. Your ass). What I am is working really hard because I have four children to raise, a house to keep, and grades to maintain, and nobody else is going to do this for me.

Yes, that is stressful on some fundamental levels, but there is only so much an individual can do to mitigate survival-related stresses. Like consciously relaxing, taking time for myself, getting enough sleep, making tome to exercise and get out into greenspaces. I do those things.

Don't call me dumbass, please, it's rude. I've been reading you for a long time. You don't appear to be particularly stressed, and indeed you are working hard, I can see that. As for your situation, I'm sure I have no idea, with the two of us supporting 6 kids and a household.... True, I don't go to college as well, and I do appreciate that your performance is quite outstanding. But I do a number of things besides the money-making work as well. But my comment about being constantly stressed out was more general: the responses I get seem to indicate that the majority opinion of the vocal people here (also, recalling the "let's make happyness a mental illness" thread) is that being stressed out a lot by the iniquities of the world is a requirement of honest living. I disagree with that.

I'd just like to point out that:

Holist is blowing off his children's education to post here about how great a parent he is.

The parents' evening was predictable and boring. Still, ya gotta show your face, don't ya?

"showing face". Better than actually being concerned about the kid and engaging the teacher I guess.

I'm sorry to rob you of your misconception, but actually, every single kid is at or near the top of the class and are universally loved by all the teachers. I spend parent evenings listening to other parents voice a predictable set of pointless worries about their kids. :)

But if all the cool kids are going to be Losers, I'm going to be a Loser too.

Okay, you ambitious person! :)

You wish I could bother to stoke up some ambition for you. That would require me to actually care what a dead beat, abusive, smug-but-worthless ignorant turd like you could bring to the table.

You are barely even worth the effort to type these words, but as it happens as I have a spare five minutes or so while something else is going on, and you are the forum equivalent to bringing my phone into the bathroom so I can play some pointless game while I'm aerially bombarding my toilet with concentrated hatred mixed with too much fibre.

Okay, so make some more halfhearted attempts then. Or just shut up! :)

Apparently, that selfsame advice is working for you to such an extent that now you are the arbiter of who gets into the latest Cool Kids Club.

Not only that, he has to put up with other parents' measly and unimportant concerns.

It must be lonely being perfect.

I prefer Omnifallibility - so much cuddlier.

Plus, you aren't obligated to spend all day preaching at other people as to how they're doin' it wrong, while being an overweight unemployed loser.

"showing face". Better than actually being concerned about the kid and engaging the teacher I guess.

That might require concern for someone other than himself.

Indeed. In this instance it would involve giving a shit about a child you are responsible for, so quite expected really.

Yeah, join in the chorus, Junkenstein! Go, go! :)

No you dull cretin, It's just another notch on the "shit parent" post.

Once again, at no point do you state any kind of engagement with the activity. This may be something to do with you being an oxygen thief.

Well, he DID mention having to put up with all the untermenschen parents and their substandard complaints.

Oh yes, and his kids are all geniuses apparently.

I assume the school has various levels of classes for different abilities. That would make this plausible. I doubt it's good genetics or a positive home life. Certainly isn't engagement with the kids.

To be fair, there isn't TIME for engagement with the kids.  He has to correct the internet.

Look, I like you, I think you are right, being in school is the right choice. But do you actually think being constantly stressed out is a requirement?

Oh you're right, I'll totally just stop now. :roll:

Look, dumbass, I'm not "constantly stressed out". I'm not even sure where you pulled that assessment from (oh wait, yes I am. Your ass). What I am is working really hard because I have four children to raise, a house to keep, and grades to maintain, and nobody else is going to do this for me.

Yes, that is stressful on some fundamental levels, but there is only so much an individual can do to mitigate survival-related stresses. Like consciously relaxing, taking time for myself, getting enough sleep, making tome to exercise and get out into greenspaces. I do those things.

Don't call me dumbass, please, it's rude. I've been reading you for a long time. You don't appear to be particularly stressed, and indeed you are working hard, I can see that. As for your situation, I'm sure I have no idea, with the two of us supporting 6 kids and a household.... True, I don't go to college as well, and I do appreciate that your performance is quite outstanding. But I do a number of things besides the money-making work as well. But my comment about being constantly stressed out was more general: the responses I get seem to indicate that the majority opinion of the vocal people here (also, recalling the "let's make happyness a mental illness" thread) is that being stressed out a lot by the iniquities of the world is a requirement of honest living. I disagree with that.

I'd just like to point out that:

I'd love to chat, but I'm off to a parents' evening at the school. Bye for now!

Holist is blowing off his children's education to post here about how great a parent he is.

The parents' evening was predictable and boring. Still, ya gotta show your face, don't ya?

"showing face". Better than actually being concerned about the kid and engaging the teacher I guess.

I'm sorry to rob you of your misconception, but actually, every single kid is at or near the top of the class and are universally loved by all the teachers. I spend parent evenings listening to other parents voice a predictable set of pointless worries about their kids. :)

Is this what they taught you in therapy?

Nope, that's my own invention. :)

I am pretty certain, for a number of reasons. I generate about 55-60 percent of our income,

The other 40% comes from the Jimmy Saville Society.

The other 40% comes from my wife. :)

Until SHE leaves your ass.

I think now that we're about to celebrate our fifth anniversary and are more connected than ever before, with a breakthrough in handling childhood shit in my therapy, there's sort of less of a risk of that. But, of course, you are right. until she leaves me. :)

Childhood shit in your therapy, you say?

Yes. :)

Who gives a shit?

I do! Along with a few other people you are not acquainted with. :)

It occurs to me to ask why any of us are bothering with the narcissistic little twerp.

Like I said, I'm killing some time  :)

And smearing shit on the walls in the process.   :argh!:

I told you I have A Condition.

Yeah, you're a SPAG.

Oh, yeah. That too.

But I was referring to the one you can't get medication for.

YOUR FACE?

:cry:

I'm awfully sorry about your face.

Me too Roger. Sometimes I can't even stop it from sliding off the front of my head anymore.

"showing face". Better than actually being concerned about the kid and engaging the teacher I guess.

That might require concern for someone other than himself.

Indeed. In this instance it would involve giving a shit about a child you are responsible for, so quite expected really.

Yeah, join in the chorus, Junkenstein! Go, go! :)

No you dull cretin, It's just another notch on the "shit parent" post.

Once again, at no point do you state any kind of engagement with the activity. This may be something to do with you being an oxygen thief.

Once again what? I am on good terms with the team of teachers that runs the school, one is a close friend, two others are friends.  I've taught English for two years, ran a successful "build your own drum then learn to play it a little" project club, sang in the chorus when there was one, played a parent in a school play. That's in addition, of course, to paying the tuition fees, something that many parents at least here can't be bothered to do (especially not in my income bracket), though they can see that the state system is failing their kids. I am as much of an oxygen thief as you are. :)

Also: I don't think they are sad losers. I do think that you are one.

1.  Do you pull it on your mentally defective wife?

2.  You yourself said that everyone here are sorry losers, liar.

QuoteYou are such a sorry bunch of losers.

DO YOU DENY SAYING THAT?

Yes. I claim that my statement "You are such a sorry bunch of losers" did not in fact mean "Everyone here is a sorry loser", it only referred to a subset of people who had responded in that thread. In particular you, Gogira, and to a lesser extent LMNO.

Add me in and go fuck yourself.

You've been in there for quite a while, as it happens. :)

You should just lump everyone in there, Holist.

Seriously.

Thank you, but no, thank you. Just because everybody (almost everybody) hates me, there's no reason for me to disdain everyone. There is a particular flavour of childishly deluded posturing that only characterises a few people here. I'm pretty okay with Cain, though he has frequently said he hates me and is ignoring me. Pent is an interesting character and you've gotta respect his sea-canoeing chops. :regret: is interesting, I have no bone to pick with Faust - and there are others. They tend to be occasional posters, because... there is that elephant in the room. :)
Man, i love it when my name-prank works.

Well, he DID mention having to put up with all the untermenschen parents and their substandard complaints.

Oh yes, and his kids are all geniuses apparently.

I assume the school has various levels of classes for different abilities. That would make this plausible. I doubt it's good genetics or a positive home life. Certainly isn't engagement with the kids.

It is a small school, one class in each year. What gives you the notion that I don't "engage" with my kids?

You are such a sorry bunch of losers.

None of you appear to be particularly happy, except on occasion, generally accompanied by being manic... pills, job unhappyness, angry children, stressed for money, stressed for time, etc., but you are still completely convinced that your way of going about things is the best possible way...

Roger, in addition to being a reasonably clever moron, you are also a manipulative bastard with entirely too much time on your hands. The reason I am not going to try to respond to your criticism, scattered among manipulative lies as it is, is that there's no point.

LMNO, I think lazy slob best describes you, always ready for the cheap shot, as long as it doesn't occupy much more than a line and a half.

Gogira, your take on life and your fake posturing at times inspire little other than pity.

Nigel, I've heard of children born angry, but stay-angry? Not really, unless they continually have something to be angry about. And people who continuously strive to find something to be angry about don't grow on trees. Twid, you are a bit daft, aren't you?

There's that, I guess. He and RWHN have it in common. Dig in, little Holist!

I think that there are likable elements to his personality, but they are badly overshadowed by the condescending/insulting thing. Personally, I prefer not to be persistently condescended to by an insulting (not to mention frequently factually errant) pedant.

It's totally unlike you to carry a grudge around over your interpretation (no clarification sought) of statements made in those conversations.

You absolutely have the freedom to get fucked off about whatever you like, though. What I was dismissing was my interest in having that conversation, so instead of continuing I posted that and left  the house.

Yeah, why on earth might someone just walk away rather than continue conversing with you while you're in one of those moods where everyone is an asshole?
It's totally unlike you to carry a grudge around over your interpretation (no clarification sought) of statements made in this conversations.


Dude, I'm okay with "I'm not having this conversation while you are foaming at the mouth."

It was the WAY you said it.
I'ma reread it.

The "not going to bother"? Yeah, okay, I can see that.

Also, I didn't tell any mother they were not raising their kids right. I expressed surprise at the Little Man being the way he is with no particular reason and asked for clarification. In between the shower of abuse that generated, I actually was given an explanation. But that doesn't matter, because a frustrated middle-aged American engineer with toddler-discipline and marital problems, and questionable views on art, has spent years of diligent work laying out a little piece of turf for himself, which he protects fiercely. His toolkit is defined by his favourite hobbies: character assassination and manipulative lying.

See the thing that changed when this started is very simple: while so far I did continue to harbour the ambition of getting to a point where at least a part of PD understand and voice that understanding, I've finally given that up. The web of taboo is too strong, Roger's policing too practised, too successful.

For a while, I viewed starting with homeopathy way back when, and the lower-case only writing, as mistakes. And in general, testing a new social environment immediately with what I perceive it to be the heaviest implement available is indeed a character-flaw (see my 'first attempt at standing on hind legs'). But here, it worked. The outcome would have been no different had I begun on a less controversial note. It simply would have required more time.

Apart from that, I got attacked, hated and dismissed for believing and arguing that:

Third-world cities differ from first-world cities in a fundamental way
There may be interesting differences between the archaic and the modern human mind (people born and raised and spending their lives in monolythic cultures as opposed to the current megapopulation)
That freelance translation has a number of aspects that are similar to prostitution
That the bad thing, or the fundamental bad thing about the sex-industry may not be the exchange of sex for money, and that it may be possible to arrange a sex industry in a manner that makes it very significantly less damaging for the sex-workers
That 'authenticity' is a term that is validly applicable to music and to art in general
That a child who is like the Little Man described by Gogira does not get that way without appropriate, traumatic environmental influences

I think I may have missed out one or two...

Yep. I'm a monster.

Look, I like you, I think you are right, being in school is the right choice. But do you actually think being constantly stressed out is a requirement?

Oh you're right, I'll totally just stop now. :roll:

Look, dumbass, I'm not "constantly stressed out". I'm not even sure where you pulled that assessment from (oh wait, yes I am. Your ass). What I am is working really hard because I have four children to raise, a house to keep, and grades to maintain, and nobody else is going to do this for me.

Yes, that is stressful on some fundamental levels, but there is only so much an individual can do to mitigate survival-related stresses. Like consciously relaxing, taking time for myself, getting enough sleep, making tome to exercise and get out into greenspaces. I do those things.

Don't call me dumbass, please, it's rude. I've been reading you for a long time. You don't appear to be particularly stressed, and indeed you are working hard, I can see that. As for your situation, I'm sure I have no idea, with the two of us supporting 6 kids and a household.... True, I don't go to college as well, and I do appreciate that your performance is quite outstanding. But I do a number of things besides the money-making work as well. But my comment about being constantly stressed out was more general: the responses I get seem to indicate that the majority opinion of the vocal people here (also, recalling the "let's make happyness a mental illness" thread) is that being stressed out a lot by the iniquities of the world is a requirement of honest living. I disagree with that.

(It's raining, I'm getting a lift to the school, so I have a little more time.)

You have not known Nigel long enough. Nigel has been through some fucking stress and she pulled herself through it. Matter of fact, I remember Faust saying something about her, and I quote,  "train wreck of a life". It wasn't long after that Nigel's Shiny New Life Thread popped up.

I don't think the cost of living in Hungary is particularly high. They must live like kings on 48,000 kronors or whatever monetary units they use a year.

I converted it to dollers for your convenience, dumb thingie. Do the fucking math, 48,000 a year, 8 people. Food is actually a bit cheaper in the US, petrol is way cheaper in the US. Accommodation is way cheaper here. We are, incomewise, lower middle-class. I even suspect your household may spend more. Certainly not a lot less.

As someone who has spent money in both the US and the UK in recent years, it's 1 for 1, despite exchange rate. Compare the cost of a Coke in both countries. It's above a dollar/pound, and below 2 dollars/2 pound. Exchange rate may say something different, but bang for buck is the best measure.

When I went to Iceland, I had several grand after exchange. I'm rich motherfucker! except a burger is about 1000 kronor, or, in American, $10.

I don't remember the details, but isn't photosynthesis one of the real life examples of quantum mechanics in action?
The series of proteins that start with absorbing a photon and end with iirc changing ADP + P -> ATP. So far nothing strange, right?
The only thing is, the efficiency of this transfer of energy is above 95%. This is not possible without quantum coherence, or so i read. I tried to better my understanding by reading up on quantum coherence but i couldn't wrap my head around it (yet, i'll think about it some more). This is of course not surprising because quantum. Dammit, i got distracted by quantum.
Anyway, there is this one protein that reacts to getting hit by a photon by changing it's configuration. (This is what proteins do, stuff interacts with them and they change shape. Pretty cool if you ask me) This brings the part of the protein that just got energy added to it (the photon agitated an electron in 'orbit' around an atom so it went into a higher 'orbit' making it more susceptible to interaction with other stuff) closer to the right part of the 2nd protein in the cascade. This electron is understandably agitated, after all, he was just chilling out in his favorite orbit and out of nowhere this photon pushes him out of his comfort zone! This 2nd protein's electron accepts the extra energy because the agitated electron on the 1st protein pokes the 2nd protein until one of it's electrons gets agitated. The agitated electron on the first protein immediatly calms the fuck down after venting his irritation. He goes back to his favorite orbit and drinks some camomile tea. This sad cascade of violence happens a few more times untill the agitation energy is brought to the other side of the membrane (did i tell you all of this is happening in the membrane of a chloroplast? it is) where quite a lot of ADP and loose P are hanging out being useless little shits. Now, the last agitated electron in the cascade is just as agitated as the first one, even though he knows nothing of the photon that originally started it all. So he grabs1 one of each of these useless bums and smashes their heads together untill they learn to play nice and work together becoming the team known as ATP.

1 ok, technically they were already held by the last protein, and the addition of the energy to the protein leads to a change in its shape that instantly smashes the two bums together, but that was harder to write into the story.

P.S. Ok, so I did remember quite  a lot of details. I'm still not entirely sure if ADP + P -> ATP is the reaction that happens at the end though. Could be something else.

P.P.S. This was fun!

Also, I didn't tell any mother they were not raising their kids right. I expressed surprise at the Little Man being the way he is with no particular reason and asked for clarification. In between the shower of abuse that generated, I actually was given an explanation. But that doesn't matter, because a frustrated middle-aged American engineer with toddler-discipline and marital problems, and questionable views on art, has spent years of diligent work laying out a little piece of turf for himself, which he protects fiercely. His toolkit is defined by his favourite hobbies: character assassination and manipulative lying.

See the thing that changed when this started is very simple: while so far I did continue to harbour the ambition of getting to a point where at least a part of PD understand and voice that understanding, I've finally given that up. The web of taboo is too strong, Roger's policing too practised, too successful.

For a while, I viewed starting with homeopathy way back when, and the lower-case only writing, as mistakes. And in general, testing a new social environment immediately with what I perceive it to be the heaviest implement available is indeed a character-flaw (see my 'first attempt at standing on hind legs'). But here, it worked. The outcome would have been no different had I begun on a less controversial note. It simply would have required more time.

Apart from that, I got attacked, hated and dismissed for believing and arguing that:

Third-world cities differ from first-world cities in a fundamental way
There may be interesting differences between the archaic and the modern human mind (people born and raised and spending their lives in monolythic cultures as opposed to the current megapopulation)
That freelance translation has a number of aspects that are similar to prostitution
That the bad thing, or the fundamental bad thing about the sex-industry may not be the exchange of sex for money, and that it may be possible to arrange a sex industry in a manner that makes it very significantly less damaging for the sex-workers
That 'authenticity' is a term that is validly applicable to music and to art in general
That a child who is like the Little Man described by Gogira does not get that way without appropriate, traumatic environmental influences

I think I may have missed out one or two...

Yep. I'm a monster.

Nigel (a special, personal message for Nigel): when it comes to condescending, you do quite well, too. But 'there are likeable aspects to your personality', too, and I haven't, as yet, given up on 'being kind to you' and 'trying to befriend'.

:)

You still don't seem to get that it's really just that nobody likes you.

No, I do get that. But I've also noted that it varies. I'm looking for the underlying variables.

The more you talk, the less variance there is. I don't have anything personal against you, dude, and I really hope you eventually figure out how to relate to humans that fall outside your comfort zone without being such a twat, but RIGHT FUCKING NOW you are an insufferable whistledick. I kind of feel for you because I used to be quite a bit like you (at least in regards to how I approached social situations from the outside) but then I got through puberty and started acting like a real person. Here's hoping you find that same path someday.

Eh, I'm just going to stop trying to catch up on holist.

I have photosynthesis to catch up on, which is much more interesting. So here I am, missing the last 5 pages.

Oh yeah! We just started photosynthesis this week too. We should talk about that.

I put Holist back on ignore. He's just not capable of maintaining more than brief glimpses of being interesting before he reverts to boring babboonery. It's disappointing, but whatever.
I don't remember the details, but isn't photosynthesis one of the real life examples of quantum mechanics in action?
The series of proteins that start with absorbing a photon and end with iirc changing ADP + P -> ATP. So far nothing strange, right?
The only thing is, the efficiency of this transfer of energy is above 95%. This is not possible without quantum coherence, or so i read. I tried to better my understanding by reading up on quantum coherence but i couldn't wrap my head around it (yet, i'll think about it some more). This is of course not surprising because quantum. Dammit, i got distracted by quantum.
Anyway, there is this one protein that reacts to getting hit by a photon by changing it's configuration. (This is what proteins do, stuff interacts with them and they change shape. Pretty cool if you ask me) This brings the part of the protein that just got energy added to it (the photon agitated an electron in 'orbit' around an atom so it went into a higher 'orbit' making it more susceptible to interaction with other stuff) closer to the right part of the 2nd protein in the cascade. This electron is understandably agitated, after all, he was just chilling out in his favorite orbit and out of nowhere this photon pushes him out of his comfort zone! This 2nd protein's electron accepts the extra energy because the agitated electron on the 1st protein pokes the 2nd protein until one of it's electrons gets agitated. The agitated electron on the first protein immediatly calms the fuck down after venting his irritation. He goes back to his favorite orbit and drinks some camomile tea. This sad cascade of violence happens a few more times untill the agitation energy is brought to the other side of the membrane (did i tell you all of this is happening in the membrane of a chloroplast? it is) where quite a lot of ADP and loose P are hanging out being useless little shits. Now, the last agitated electron in the cascade is just as agitated as the first one, even though he knows nothing of the photon that originally started it all. So he grabs1 one of each of these useless bums and smashes their heads together untill they learn to play nice and work together becoming the team known as ATP.

1 ok, technically they were already held by the last protein, and the addition of the energy to the protein leads to a change in its shape that instantly smashes the two bums together, but that was harder to write into the story.

P.S. Ok, so I did remember quite  a lot of details. I'm still not entirely sure if ADP + P -> ATP is the reaction that happens at the end though. Could be something else.

P.P.S. This was fun!

AHahaha I like this! There's NADP+ and NADPH in there too.

This is quite interesting, and something for me to keep in mind, and probably think about more, but the quantum mechanics aspect is a little bit out of the scope of this at the moment. But the link up between biology, and indeed something as vital as autotrophy being linked to quantum mechanics sounds extremely interesting.

For a while, I viewed starting with homeopathy way back when, and the lower-case only writing, as mistakes.

Interesting, because it doesn't seem to vary that much from where I'm sitting.  Perhaps you should reconsider that.

I think I was recently tentatively rehabilitated for the fourth time when Nigel told me about a perceived character flaw and I said she was probably right. It does vary, you're just being opinionated.

It's a system of holes. Holist is a hole engineer. Nothing to do with water. Just holes. Well, maybe wells. Wells are holes with water. Maybe he can be a well holist. Or would it be a hole wellist?

No... no... no, scratch the "hole" thing, back to the drawing board.

:lol:

I think maybe you could start by noting that "hol" means "where" in Hungarian. Hm? Whereism? Ideological cluelessness? Maybe you could work that in. :)

HOLISM IS AN ENGLISH WORD MOTHERFUCKER. NOT HUNGARIAN.

:)

The Klingon word for Klingon Language (and one of the very few Klingon words I know) is tlHingan Hol.

And since tlHingan or however it's spelled, means Klingon, that must make you a motherfucking linguist.

What you said, Roger:

No, no, he has already determined that he is not the "variables". 

Which is true, really.  He's fairly constant.

What I said, a little earlier:

"I'm certainly part of it. But I am also certain that not all them pesky underlying variables are driven by me."

Hm.

I'm no linguist, but holism is an English word that comes from a Greek word, 'holos', and a Greek suffix, 'isma'.

The etymology is interesting: the word was introduced into the English language by a certain South African gent name of Smuts, in 1926, in his book 'Holism and Evolution'.

"This character of "wholeness" meets us everywhere and points to something fundamental in the universe. Holism (from [holos] = whole) is the term here coined for this fundamental factor operative towards the creation of wholes in the universe." - he wrote.

Hehehehe, Smuts.

Anyway, I'm going to go with the law of homonyms since hol- means whole which sounds like hole, so it's hol-e.
