Post by: TomFoolery on May 12, 2016, 02:13:13 PM
...and it's being hailed by many as a beautiful act of God.

I mean, I guess I have my own opinions on it, but if you're childless for nearly 50 years and you turn to science to have a baby, God clearly chose to sit that round out, for like half a century.

Statistically, she will be dead when the child is 12 years old.  Then what?

God will feed it.

Actually though, statistically, she should have died 2 years ago based on female mortality statistics for India.

Oh how wonderful, by the time the kids old enough to understand things, his parents will be dead and he'll be alone in the world.

Some people should grow some brain cells and realise when is the best time to not have children, for the kids sake.

Some consider people to be a liability.  Others consider people to be an asset.  Capitalism today mostly thinks of people as a liability, but robots as an asset.

But don't expect me to take care of any of you, or any of your children.  You didn't ask my permission first to be born, or to have sexy-sexy and make a new child.  I feel no responsibility for any of you.  But then this child, for all anyone knows, will be the one to cure cancer.  We may have already aborted the one child who will cure cancer.

Humans can never be replaced by robots until robots can be turned into consumers.

I'm all for people having babies if they have the right attitude and if they are financially stable enough for kids, but, not to sound ageist here, DON'T HAVE KIDS AT 72 FUCKING YEARS OLD!
