Libtards hate children because they have nothing worth reproducing. Conservatives love children because we do.

I would hate to be liquidated

so. no welfare?... sell shares of yourself when you need the cash?

[Scotswife]

If this is the mindset of the young lib feminist types - then there is hope for the future just so long as they continue in this sterile lifestyle.

[HangnJudge]

—sell shares of yourself when you need the cash?

Yup - exactly
No “loans”, only stock sales, at market prices
buy back stock, again at market

[Scotswife]

Ahhhh.....LOVE.

It is a word the libs use so rarely.
The article is devoid of love isn’t it?

And, like Sandra Fluke, this chicky thinks of children as burdens. Barriers. Costs. Obligations.

It is their loss.

In the past I have felt sorry for souls that look at children this way.
Ever since the election I find my ability to do this has been greatly diminished.

lazy liberal stocks probably very low value

vagina studies majors... what a bad investment

trailer park trash.... penny stocks

lol

I have many friends of my generation (I am 60 years old) who never wanted or had children. It’s funny that they think they are so smart and sophisticated by not having children.

I'm almost 60, and like you, a lot of my old friends never quite figured out the marriage and family thing. Don't let 'em fool you with their smug, false front. They're not happy that they don't have kids or grand kids, or that no one will be there for them when they're in their sunset years.

I won't say that they don't find joy in some aspects of their lives, but being without progeny is actually a pretty sore spot with most of them. It's an emptiness that is tough to fill.

Then perhaps this gem will do the world a favor and have herself spayed so she won’t be contributing to an archaic, decadent notion.

Nuts. Double post. Getting too late to use the keyboard properly.

They raise thousands of horrible children.

They are the ones who go to school principles and tell them litle Johnny wold never do anything wqrong ,and how awful it is to punish him.

I suppose wanting to live in a big city with lots of job opportunities and not sleep in the same bedroom as your child and eventually send that child to college — the expenses that Taha added up arrived at $1.8 million — can be classified as “pleasures.” But mostly they’re about maintaining a lifestyle that few of us would describe as decadent.

I guess I'm one of the few.
