Congratulations! You successfully copulated!

[fingertrouble]

I don't mind wishing someone a happy birthday - congratulations for they have survived another year. I can see the point in that.

But why do people congratulate others when they bring a child into the world? Seems rather odd to me - like 'woohoo! You've brought a copy of you into this stinking and very unstable world! Congratulations for not needing the manual on how to reproduce! Wow another mouth to feed so you can stoke your ego and feel like you have contributed to the world'. It just seems rather false, and not worth celebrating, unless you are the family in question, I guess.

So what are we congratulating? Further continuation of the human race? Because we have plenty of those already...

And there's nothing worse than parents getting together and smarming or exchanging those 'you're in the club' knowing  comments, looks and probably parent-masonic handshakes for all I know.

Yes, nature knew exactly what it was doing with me.

Oh yeah and count me in on the 'Disappointed the large black hole/time rift/interspatial dimensional jump to Hades via the Large Hardon Collider didn't happen' group. I hate it when the end of the world doesn't showi up, I'd hate to miss the fireworks.

But if you want real crazy conspiracy freak lulz go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt1Yo610lG0 or search for 'LHC Stargate' or 'Niburu' on YouTube. There are some REAL nutters out there, and I believe the phrase 'batshit insane' was invented purely for this man. Killer secret planet indeed (or LHC is the Stargate to hell LOL - let's mix Sumerian, Mayan, Nostradamus, Xian, UFO paranormal and probably CoS beliefs together shall we? Yes that makes sense!)

Yeah, I hear ya. Fucking adopt, people!

What I detest are the parental tards who assume so much fucking privilege with their little miracles accidents of contraception forgetfulness. Take your mini SUV baby condos on wheels and get the FUCK out of my way. And teach your minions some fucking manners.

(and no, I have no qualms about correcting others' children in the store. I was calmly chastising a young boy for running around too much, explaining the situation, and I could tell he was tightening up and turning red and starting to visibly shake. His mother let me say what I was saying, bless her heart, but I think she was scared of him. I said "Is he getting angry with me?" to which she replied "Um...yes." GOOD I thought. Get the talking to you've been missing, you little shit!)

Here's Bill Hicks on why "Your Children Aren't Special"
(Unfortunately, not the clip I wanted, but still good.)

Yes I love that Bill Hicks rant...I love how he started it with 'here's the section of the show that will make everyone in the room hate me' type stuff, and still went on with saying the 'unsayable' :-D

Correcting children is hard here - I've had friends (who have kids) who have corrected little scrotes for throwing stones or mud at their house or car, only to have a visit from the police because they grabbed one by the scruff of the neck to stop them doing it...with the knives thing too I think people are scared.

The biggest problem though is you're never sure if the parents won't back you up.

Not to be a fly in your ointment, but there is another side of the coin. So many things can go wrong from conception to birth and possible complications that can lead to death of the mother/child that just 'cause the penis goes in and egg is fertilized don't mean a baby's gunna come out screaming and healthy. Growing up, one of my friends' mother died in childbirth.

That said, I'm not a huge fan of children myself and highly doubt I'd willingly procreate.

Still an odd thing to be congratulating - congratulations your child didn't die in childbirth! err...I prefer to congratulate positives and actual achievements rather than congratulating the lack of a negative...
