I wish I'd grown up where you live...any idea how fun it is constantly being called Mercedes Benz & being asked if I born in one?

People seem to think it's cool now, but as a kid...As for the whole kid thing, I find there are times I really want one or two, then there are other times I see/hear brats screaming/crying whatever & think, I can understand why some animals eat their young. Some people deffinitely SHOULD NOT breed...

I like the name Mercedes, maybe its because this is Canada but its not THAT unheard of for a name. I think of The Count Of Monte Cristo before I think of the car.

The Divine Ms. M · 10-14-2009, 04:36 PM

Thanks!

I wish more people thought like you lol. When I found out about The Count of Monte Christo I thought it was the most awesome thing ever & I figure hey, if Janis Joplin could sing about my name, it's not so bad

I heard that now people hear it & think...stripper. Not sure if that's true or not or if it's a good or bad thing if it is though...

Saya · 10-14-2009, 04:57 PM

That does remind me of one thing I think weird, when anglophones who can't speak a lick of French give their kids French names. Mercedes I think is an exception, everyone knows how to pronounce it as everyone has heard of the name, but like a schoolmate of mine named her son François, she flunked out of French in grade nine o.O

I don't understand how the fact that we were all once children should make you automatically like children. Does a former rapist just love the shit out of other rapists? Does a former obese person just loooove fat people? The idea that just because you were a child at some point means you should like children doesn't even have any recognizable link. So what?

I don't understand why people think you're evil if you find kids horrifically annoying. Some people find Oprah horrifically annoying.

I don't understand why people get upset with you when they find out you don't like kids.

There isn't anything to like. Children possess all of the bad qualities adults possess and none of the goods ones. They are loud, selfish, prone to tantrums, they feel they must always get their way, you can't have an intelligent conversation with a child, they don't listen...

The most you can do with a child is make sure it doesn't accidentally kill itself, as it's stupid enough to do so easily. Now that I've said that, how can that ever be considered fun?

carakitty · 10-14-2009, 10:38 PM

Wow Pineapple Juice, I don't usually call kids rotten but to have such strong hateful feelings toward them you must have met some REALLY rotten kids in your day!

There is a difference between not liking children and referring to a child as "it" and dehumanizing them the way that Honeythorn did. Honestly I don't like most children but at least I am open to getting to know the ones who act like decent human beings, small though they may be, and I don't get why people write off all children just for being children but I'll respect that opinion as long as you do your bit to avoid having one of your own, but it does bother me to see people treat children as though they aren't human and in some with less regard than they would many inanimate objects.

All children are loud selfish and prone to tantrums? Children dont listen? Obviously you didn't listen to my story of my time sitting in college lecture halls as a child, because I can assure you if I were to have behaved like that as a child I most certainly would of been kicked out very quickly. While yes I can't say I could have an intelligent conversation with somone, that isn't due to ignorance, it is due to simply not understanding the whole picture due to lack of knowledge of the whole picture. You might as well expect somone to read the first sentence of a book and be able to write a 25 page essay on it.

you are seriously out of your mind and you have some serious issues.
you are wrong thinking that a child can not bring anything into your life.
They are not all stupid , some are clever.
You can have a conversation when they reach a certain age.
Children are part of the future.You are talking some serious non sense.
People like you should receive a lethal injection and not exist on this damned fucking world.

He has not caused any problems for children in his argument, and thus far he has never done anything or planned anything(as far as we know) against children that would cause such problems. So that means that his elimination would serve no purpose, except perhaps to try and eliminate a flawed idea, and trying to eliminate an idea with by eliminating one messenger of it, is like trying to carry water with your bare hands.

creature6 · 10-15-2009, 02:45 PM

i just got carried away with my words.
i just got personally upset by what she was saying.
As i'm pregnant and close to have my first baby,i find it somehow hurtful that some people should think like that.

Mir · 10-15-2009, 02:45 PM

Renatus; PineapplePie is a chick.

Her feelings towards children are entirely her prerogative. My only problem with her argument is that she refers to ALL children in the same vein. It's just ridiculous, and completely untrue.

honeythorn · 10-15-2009, 02:51 PM

I can tolerate them to an extent when they reach the age of approximately...5-7 and after that I'm usually not too bad as long as they aren't badly behanved or loud. Before that I avoid them as much as is humanly possible .Toddlers and babies are the absolute worst for me. I'd sit in a vat of centipedes before I hold anyone's baby or have some small toddler crawling on me.

Heh I realize that now, as my past history on gnet will show, including my past history with you, I forget the gender of people somtimes, my apologies... cookie?

Mir · 10-15-2009, 02:54 PM

I'd be flattered if you thought of me as a chick. That'd make my day! =)

Tiphareth · 10-15-2009, 03:22 PM

I believe the Beckham's called their first child Brooklyn because he was conceived there.
Good thing he wasn't conceived in Peckham huh?

Mir · 10-15-2009, 03:24 PM

Or Barking. That would have been a funny name.

Tiphareth · 10-15-2009, 03:26 PM

Or the toilets of the Dog and Duck!

Mir · 10-15-2009, 03:30 PM

That sounds vaguely like an Ali G reference.

Tiphareth · 10-15-2009, 03:32 PM

Well there y'go.
I bet you has some issue wid me cos i's black huh?

Mir · 10-15-2009, 03:34 PM

I'm really not sure how you could have interpreted my statement to come up with that.

Edit: I just realized that is another Ali G reference. Like a white dude thinking he's black. ha, funny..
