I'm glad I can't have kids
kids are cool, theyre like "basal people", little people-looking clueless animals that can be tought things, they can be brain-molded easily. if YOU are cool, your kids are likely to be awesome.
the problem is the generation-trends
locally, we have the following:
ww2 people were born into poverty, into saving, and into knowing that everything may be lost.
60-s kids (such as my mother) were born into a fragile welfare. her mother, my grandmother, always reminded them about the "kids in biafra" when they didnt want to finish their food. local war and poverty was still a very real thing to people who have experienced it, and they passed this on to their own kids.
80's kids, like me, grow up with the notion of a cold war, and parents who were brought up with a great appreciation for welfare. but in my time, the cold war ends, welfare skyrockets, internet and passive video-gaming becomes past-time activities, and everything is more swell than ever:
in my own teens, kids started to become more and more obnoxious.
me and my friends were scared of "big kids" (teens) 10 years later, little brats flip me off and stuff. believe me, me and a friend chased the little bastards all the way home, yelling that we were gonna kill them, making them cry. teaching them a lesson about the world.
and NOW, NOW you get the kids who are "untouchable", theyre brought up w the attitude that everyone in the world is their servant, cus "mommy says so!", theyre little princes and princesses. i have a dream about seeking up every one of these parents, and beat them up in front of their kids, just to show them how things can turn out, in this world. make them appreciate life more.
