I’m assuming you don’t have children…

Reply to this post

Ah! The classic go to fallacy employed by every lazy, selfish parent on the planet. I am not a parent so how dare I criticize anything that a parent does? After all, parenting is the hardest job in the world! Yep. Right now there are Marines in firefights in Afghanistan thinking to themselves, “Whew! At least I’m not parenting!”

I was never a Nazi, but I’m comfortable saying they were pricks. And I’m not a pedophile, but I’m comfortable calling them a danger to society. And I am not a parent, and yet somehow I think it’s within my rights to call you a selfish, self absorbed twat when you let your hatchling grope half the food and utensils at the salad bar in between nose, ear, and eye fingerings.

….sadly, those children grow up to be adults who do the same damn thing…..and then can’t understand why they’re never invited to nice parties…….

……and yes, I do have children…..who, after years of actual parenting (which wasn’t quite as hard as a fire-fight in Afghanistan, but had unique pleasures all it’s own) actually know how to behave in polite society, and look down their respective noses at some of their slobbering, slack-jawed friends……so, it is possible to actually raise children these days…..

    You know what kind of parents throw out the “I’m assuming you don’t have children” line? Parents who let their children...

  11. chronically-awesome said: I am not yet a parent but I do routinely have to spend 6 hours a day educating 30 kids. So I think I get a vote in this. And that kid shouldn’t be sitting on the damn counter.
