Throno-Denkai Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Originally posted by Elegy No, really. I'm never having kids. Kids are little hellions these days, and they have a damned mouth on them. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I was younger nobody ever had the balls to cuss out some guy who towers six feet over them. I see little kids do it all the time now, and flip off passing cars as they ride their bikes in the middle of the street and nearly get run over. I've been waiting for the little ***** to get crunched in the middle of the street with a satisfying squish every time I see it, but it just hasn't happened yet. What's worse is they act that way because their parents are too pussy to actually do anything to them. Nobody spanks their damn kids anymore. Might actually set thier little indignant asses straight. Everyone opts for all these little pussified 'alternate punishments' like taking away a computer or sending them to their room. Trust me, a kid can find all kinds of ways to get out of trouble or to keep himself occupied if they're really bored enough. But you can't escape a belt to the ass. Just go ahead and try and squirm out of it, your ass would only be even redder by the end of it. Couple that to the fact that kids are spoiled rotten with all the crap they have. We have a computer for every person in this house, and it's a similar situation in most other households I'd wager. There's all kinds of satellite TV, all these cool gadgets and crap. Yeah, you know what my parents gave us when we were that age? We got chores to play with. And I'll be damned if we gave any lip about that, because then we'd be drop-kicked in our throats and we'd see how much of an ungrateful little bastard we were being. Kids got it easy these days. Everyone's so worried about being so politically correct that they're going too soft on their little brats and they're running amuck because of it. Holy **** man, you are talking my language. Like you are reading my brain and writing the exact words you saw on my brain. You are %100 right!!! you guess why... SPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homosexual Ewok Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Originally posted by Kaito Fett Its because we are too dang protective of the spotty little rodents.

World Population is getting bigger and bigger. There has to be a top point. Kaito Fett Exactly. When I was a little bastard everything, and I mean everything we played always had some sort of violence incorporated into it. Hell, even a game of Atari would turn in to a fistfight. By the age of 14 I had broken all the fingers on both of my hands, my left ankle, my right leg, both wrists and my nose. This was all due to contact sports, rock fights and many attempts to reenact wrestling moves. What is funny to see is men my own age (mid-twenties) constantly call in sick for work and bitch and moan because they don't feel well. Getting the Hell beat out of you as kid toughens you up, I won't go to the doctor unless I have a bone sticking out of a part of my body. I have never called in sick for work in the 10 or so years I have been working. I don't know how many times I've seen guys in the parking lots of night clubs crying and acting as if they were on their death bead because their tummy hurt from drinking too many light beers... These are the same people who got "time outs" when they misbehaved as a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseP Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 You're (plural) right that kids today are bratts. When I was a kid, we didn't have half the stuff kids have today. And we were grateful for that. If we were lucky we had cable TV (no digital nothing back then), and a bike to ride. The spoiled kids had and Atari 2600 (about 9 million generations of consoles ago). I didn't have a computer until I was a teenager, and that was a Commodore 64 (actually had a Timex-Sinclair first, but that doesn't count). That computer serviced me through college. We didn't dare flip off an adult for fear that if our parents heard about it we would get it big time. Now kids run to Children and Youth Services if they get slapped across their face for saying, "f--- you" to their parents. The crazy thing is that Children and Youth then threatens the parents with charges and or loss of their kids... My brother-in-law had a step-daughter who ran off to go live with a boyfriend at 16, and made every year from 13 `til then miserable for him until he finally divorced the white trash he was married to. Kids today think they run the show. Wait until you get out in the real world and learn what it's like to have to pull your own weight for things like rent, electricity, water/sewer, gas, car insurance payments, car payments, student loans (if you go to college), medical insurance. Then you will realize just how lucky you have it sponging off of your parents. The parents of these ungrateful brats are doing them no service giving them everything. The kids will wind up on welfare or with a needle in their arm (or both) for their trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabond Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Heh...what's ironic is the people complaining about how kids are hellions and little bastards are acting like little kids themselves. Being an adult, and especially a parent, is not about being selfish, but about being responsible and giving of yourself. The very statement that one will never have children because of any discomfort it may bring, is rooted in the self-centeredness so typical of children everywhere. Further, being a father myself, only looking at the negative completely overlooks the positive side of children. While there are definitely some not-so-good times, there are far and away many more good times. I too was hesitant about having children, but now that I have a daughter, I'm thrilled and never knew having a child would be so much fun. We're even planning on having another. One thing I will say is that people should wait to have children until they're ready. Finish your education. Find a good job. Get married. Purchase a home. Enjoy a few childless years. Then, take the plunge. Having a kid isn't cheap, but it's well worth the reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reb Starblazer Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 That's a good observation Vagabond. I'm still young myself, but probably older than most of the people who posted about "I'm never having kids" and the like. I just want to clear up that in my post, I didn't say I'm not having kids, just that I know how I'll raise mine. I WANT kids. Someday. Someday very far off:D My plan is almost exactly, word for word, like your last paragraph. It'll be another 5 years before I get my degree, but after that, I plan on finding a good job, a nice girl, and settling down. And, judging by how often my mom asks me if I've met any nice girls lately, she's looking forward to me having kids too:D I'm sure she'd like nothing better than to be a grandmother. It all depends on how the kids are raised, and a lot of times, it's not the child's fault. It all depends on the parents. I was always taught to share, to do the right thing, and I had a good sense of right and wrong drilled into me. To this day I say "please" and "thank you" at any appropriate time, and somtimes people get annoyed because I'm "too polite". I learned rather early that sometimes the best manners, are being able to put up with people that don't have any. I've worked around my house all my life, for every cent I have, and everything I've owned, not to mention summer jobs. That, taught me the value of a dollar. I personally think one of the best ways to teach children, is to give them a bit of responsiblility. But anyway, I'm not saying I was the "perfect child" or anything like that. My family has had it's share of ups and downs. All I'm saying is that when it finally comes to my turn, I hope I do half as good a job as my parents did:) BTW man, how old's your little girl?

Lime-Light Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I dont think I'm having kids for the simple fact that the world doesnt need any more poeple. I suppose if I meet a girl I love and has baby running through her head like a broken record, I could be persuaded. I'd rather be an uncle.

eben15 Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Read The Last Days of Socrates, and you'll see in one part he says basically what you said..."kids these days have no respect for their elders and are mostly little ****s." that was about 3000 years ago. Its just part of human nature. I think a line from that upcomming movie: The Road to Perdition says it best : Sons were put on this earth to trouble their fathers. why cant you guys understand the word censor is there for a reason...

Phillio Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I'm 13, and I have to say that Most, most of my friends are not spoiled little brats. I have to admit, I have a decent amount of stuff. I had a Nintendo 64, a Gamecube now, and a decent compuer.....but 56k modem. Anyway, I paid for the Gamecibe and N64 by myself, and the games. My dad works on computers so he found ways to get computer stuff for me. I have cable TV, but I don't think i am SPOILED. I don't get everything I ask for, in fact, i don't bother asking. I just save up money or wait till birthday or christmas. If you ask me, my friend got a Gamecube and 2 games, FOR EASTER. EASTER!!!, is a little bit spoiled. His grandma got it for him. When he told me that, i about killed myself. I got a basket of candy for easter.....not a gamecube. (and yes, i AM grateful for getting a basket olf candy. My mom went all out..lol......). It took from January 1, to June 15 to get my gamecube. Anyway. I know some kids are spoiled, complaining ppl, but hey, we all have some problems. I was just pointing out that there are some DECENT amount of kids out there who aren't complaining, little brats. I guess when you get around 13-14 and after, you kinda don't get as crazy and dumb. Although, I never went out in front of cars and flicked ppl off though....... I have never got a spankin, but frankly, i haven't done anything to deserve one............But, i can sense that my mom is getting more and more.....strict....
