I don't like kids. I might even...hate kids.
So why is this such a controversial idea? I assume it has something to do with the fact that I am a female and I don't have mothering instincts. I also believe quite strongly in natural selection. So if your child is an idiot and is stupid enough to wander in front of a moving car, then it deserves to die. So does an adult if the adult is stupid enough to wander in front of a moving car.
I think conservative people feel threatened when challenged with ideas that seem so far "out of the box" to them that they can't even relate to the idea.
I also don't believe in God. Any God. Chew on that. I happen to think that life is what you make it, and then...you die... and that's just it, you're dead. Nothing. This is a LESS controversial issue than my dislike of children. I find this quite puzzling. But, then, I have always been less than traditional.
Families have no more or less rights than anyone else. Oh, you can't work at night because you have kids? Eh, well, do you want a job or don't you? My parents worked various shifts. Why? Because they WANTED a job. Didn't matter if it was night or morning. They wanted to be able to feed their kids.
My parents have always known I don't like kids. This does not surprise them, nor do they care. They have always been fine with it. It's who I am.
I don't discriminate against folks with kids.
I don't torture children.
I don't go out of my way to make people with children miserable.
I just don't enjoy or like or PRETEND to like children.
I am entirely genuine.
Why is that so offensive and I quote "unprofessional?" I only make $8.96 an hour. Want me to be more professional? Pay me what I'm worth. I can run the store. I can work the freight truck nearly single handedly. I believe this is worth at least $17 an hour. I can barely pay my bills. Why should I give a flying fuck about brat children that parents can't or won't control? I am not the only person working retail who believes this. My assistant manager also believes that children should be checked at the door if they can't behave.
I have the following suggestion. Substitute the word "cabbage" for "children."
Would these people be as offended at the statement: "I hate cabbage." Or "People who can't control their cabbage shouldn't have any.."
