Line> Excellent! 🙂
Creechur> No, I did mean “sad”, in exactly the sarcastic way it was meant. But if you don’t have any courtesy, I do feel sorry for you. You’re not the only “yank” I know, and impoliteness is not a common trait among those that I do. So, please, don’t accuse other people of having your own bad traits as well… THAT logic fallacy ALSO has a name 😄
Lady van Tramp> Woaw. Chill! I was debating with you back there (points)…
Re: Is having children a right?
Originally posted by The Omega
I’ve been following the “Obesity rate is rising for kids” thread for a while, and it’s got me thinking.Are all people fit to be parents? Should we allow everyone to have children, regardless of the(ir) circumstances? And if not, how should we regulate it to avoid some dystopian night-mare society a la Nazi-Germany sterilising “un-wanted” elements.
I’m not sure myself, because I don’t know what makes a good parent. Here in Denmark the state can go in and remove children from parents who’re judged unfit to take care of the kid(s), due to crime, drug-addiction, neglect, violence etc.
Thoughts?
Well, with regard to this.
Where could we continue the debate from?
How about, "What makes a good parent?" Rather than deciding whether said 'good' parents are fit to have children, why not discuss the elements of personality or environment you think necessary in order to be allowed to rear children.
...and now a special post by Bill Cosby:
You see, when the kids start to hackle the shackle, and you get all wiggy wiggy on the bliggy, what you have to understand is that it takes more than a haw haw haw and a flisum flosum to get those little shoogers to go with the FLOW!!! As a parent, you have to be wackin and malackin or youre gonna be taking a trip to wazoo on the flaggin wagon.
Uhhh, well, he's not talking anymore, just making silly faces. You get the point though. No one knows parenting like good ol Bill Cosby.

By 'clear' I didn't mean blunt. Or rude. Or simply arrogant. You covered all those.I wanted to know, as if I need to reiterate, why we are not permitted to perhaps chat at least a little via posts. More often than not it leads to PM anyway, I really don't think it necessary for you, or any other Mod, to point us in that direction.
I explained this to you already. Go read my post again

Classic!!

Go Cosby!
Ye-es, I understand that, but there's been loads of posts since, if you read up yourself you may find that I tried to give the debate another perspective, so as to avoid more confrontation and still have the thread run along similar lines.
Yet you felt the need to quote an old post of mine, although my query had obviously been settled. And I wondered why is all.......

IMHO, from experience not as a mother but as a child with a father who continually said "I know what you're saying but.....", the ability to listen and actually hear what your shild is saying is a worthy quality.

Because it didn't sound like you were completely satisfied with and it didn't seem like it had been settled at all. Just haulted. And if that was the case I was going to try to explain it better for you.But okay, I guess you are satisfied, sorry for the inconvinience!
No, no I'm sorry, thanks for trying to explain it a little better.
You do realise you come across as quite defensive though, don't you? I think that's why I assumed you were having a go hug
