In defense of children behaving badly. Reasoning with preschoolers doesn't work in the short-term, but does work better in the long term. Via Medley.

There are kids who are absolute monsters, but you usually can look upstream as to the cause. A lot of "kids" are having kids. Making babies is serious business. The tragedy is that in a lot of cases they are an unintended byproduct of an irresponsible approach to sex.

I am not so sure that it is not mainstream opinion. Anyone who has had children has undoubtedly pondered the simplification of life that a retroactive abortion would bring about.

I agree, but then I've also been heard to endorse abortion up through the 55th trimester, so my judgment doesn't match the mainstream opinion.

Childhood, up until about age 98, is the time to behave badly.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
