I thought it was hilarious...30-Rock is an excellent sitcom. Too bad most people can't keep up with the machine gun of wit! ;)

I totally agree. I work at an educational institution and there are at least 30 people "at the top" of the food chain who have access to full pensions and have been here for over 30 years, yet they still insist on taking up space at their cushy high seniority positions while the bottom, educated employees get laid off. They are also the most miserable basement dwelling trolls and no one dares to confront them lest they get their head bitten off for disturbing their little world.

They hate change, they hate upgrading their skills and they hoard any required information necessary for a job because they feel so self-important and entitled...how dare anyone ask to share or be mentored!!!?? Their lack of ability just might be exposed...

Even the government is still touting this "chicken little" mentality that the world will cave in when the baby boomers retire and there will be this huge labour shortage. WHAT LABOUR SHORTAGE?

What they fail to remember is that we'll be holding the key to their hospital care...

Seriously? LOL...do you realize how many people are in hospitals and nursing homes who don't get visits from their ungrateful children? Many thousands!!!! What a shame is right! They'll be at the lawyer's office lickety split when the will is read though...you can bet on it. Passing on your genes is no guarnatee that you will live forever. The gene pool is tainted.__P.S. I have a sister that doesn't speak to her parents and she also does evil things on purpose such as keeping the grandkids from them (among other things)...and they are the best parents a kid could have.

I'm the one all my friends confess to.

They know I won't tell a soul when they tell me they regret having kids. They hate the late nights the kiddie parties, the sicknesses...they hate being expected to get out of work to attend the school plays and functions...they hate having to get a babysitter just to go to a movie....they hate that they have no sex life and their marriages are strained.

They now hate what some of these brats have turned into. The list is endless.

How can people actually think someone is selfish for not wanting to change their lives so drastically??? Is it better to just have that kid and let the system take care of it when you realize you made a mistake or can't emotionally or financially care for that human you made?? Now THAT is selfish!

There's no argument. It's a choice that should be respected.

Why is breeding a fundamental human right anyway? Aptitude tests and parenting classes should be a requirement for all prospective parents.

Kudos to a well balanced arguement. I agree. This is a stupid debate with rabid opinions on both sides. If you want children, have them. If you don't, then don't have any. End of story.

So are you going to lobby the government to allow me NOT to pay the taxes for your children's schools? And...should I also not pay taxes that go to the welfare moms and the child subsidies and the health care that pays for these children's sicknesses and for their mothers to give birth?

That sure would allow me to use more of my money towards the other things that I quite enjoy doing in my childless spare time like volunteering for animal shelters and growing and tending my gardens for the hungry!

The only thing that's irresponsible is your ignorance!

I feel sorry for the humans you bred.
