I believe in delegating. The reason you have kids is so they can keep count of your little great-grandpunks. I have no idea the number of my descendents. But I do know one thing. You board members are my children. Especially you, Mick. If you ever need a nap and a bottle, you bring the bottle and I’m here to pat your ass till you fall asleep. And Marzul. What Marzul needs is a little moral guidance and the discipline my belt can provide. And who can forget the youngest, dear little 3Brainiac. The spoiled one. I will place you on a pedestal and say you’re pretty, no matter what I really think. And PapaG, the tart one. I have a bar of soap with your mouth’s name on it. I can’t keep track of all my descendents, and that’s a lucky thing for all of you.
My grandparents watched us a lot. My parents both worked. It was great and provided great memories. Now my parents do the same thing for my sister's kids.
Fuck children half the people who have them can't afford them. Others who can afford them hire others to take care of them. People with children should pay more taxes not less. Especially considering a significant percent of taxes goes to fund the schools these kids attend etc. The US tax code sucks. Taxes for everyone should be 20% with no deductions. If you have a kid in school add 2.5% to your tax per child. Under no circumstances should someone ever get more money back than they paid. Of course nothing is worse for this country than anchor babies. Papa and bg I personally think each of you are crazy for having children and ridiculous for arguing whose parenting style is the best.
Correction: I wasn't arguing whose style is better. I simply asked not to be judged when you don't know enough about me - I don't pass judgment on his parenting. No parent wants to be questioned on that, especially not by a message board goons with no real insight into one's life. But everyone has an opinion (especially PapaG - that's not intended as a knock, just saying he shares his opinions more than most). I get why you (and others) don't have kids. To each his own. Call me crazy, call me old fashioned, call me a sheep, or hell, as El-p loves to call me a "soccer mom", I always knew kids would be part of the equation. Also, the tax system is flawed - but I think you're oversimplifying it. But I do agree that nobody should get more than they paid in. That's utter bullshit.
Yes please. Funny how how I make a quip in which I reference my child, and it turns into a parenting discussion. But I suppose this derailment is par for the course of any thread over 3 pages.
Dat green font tho. Why make someone pay more money if they have kids? If someone has kids, they aren't likely to have much extra money to pay more taxes than they already do. Tell that to the top business owners in America who give themselves billions in bonuses, some of which is used to pay their taxes.
LOL. I have no idea what that means. As HCP says, I don't speak nerd. But still..... I am outraged. OUTRAGED. :MARIS61:
In a pathetic attempt to get this thread back on track, I hope she's allowed to register with a new moniker and she returns to the site.
That was made pretty clear from the beginning that she's allowed to register under a new moniker. It's not like it ever stopped PapaG or Bralixum. I kinda figured she'd be back already.
