I was going to start a new thread but I think my rant fits in here:
Let's get a couple things out of the way right out of the gate.
- yes, I'm completely stupid
- no, I'm not smoking weed right now, okay I am.
Okay, this is why I don't like babies:
- They are loud. I can hear them cry at night and I can hear them cry in the morning. If I walked outside and cried randomly on a daily basis, the cops and my therapist would be all over me. Why do babies get away with it?
- They are dangerous - not dog dangerous - but dangerous enough as outlined by the gang violence in Vancouver. Yes of course your baby won't join a gang, but some will. In fact there is a gang shooting every day of the year with an aggressive, what use to be a baby, in Canada last year.
- Crap. People simply shouldn't let their babies crap in public, it is absolutely disgusting. Kudos to you if you teach you baby, but enough don't that is an obvious problem. Diapers are just not enough, teach them what a toilet is.
- Breastfedding. I've never seen any baby owner, no matter how responsible, not try and breastfeed in public. If I whipped out my man breasts in the middle of a park where children were playing, people would freak. Let's put the public nudity aspect of that example aside, people would be disgusted that I was whipping out my breasts where kids were playing. It's outrageous, frankly.
- They're dirty and they smell bad.
You know, I understand people love their baby and that's great. And I can also see that it would be unfair to take a baby out of somebody's home - both to the baby and to the owner.
A more realistic solution to this pest problem we have would be a city-funded initiative to spay and neuter every human in the city, ban the sale/possession of any new babies, and just wait for the current generation of babies to pass away. Within say 75 years the problem would be solved.
I would be curious to know if anyone else would be interested in this plan. Perhaps we could start a petition or do something to get the ball rolling on this. Obviously it will be a tough thing to achieve, but I think if we are compassionate to the current baby owners, this may have legs. It will certainly get support from some people, I'm just not sure how many at this point.
