Well no maybe not an expert but a lot more qualified than someone who has no kids.

Really? Then how come there are so many malnourished, ignorant, rude, useless kids on the planet? There must be some other qualification than just squirting one out, feeding it chicken nuggets and shoving it in front of the television?

So your saying that it is the parents fault if their children go of the rails hhhm how observant of you there are good parents and there are bad parents just like there are good children and bad children as I said having children does not make you a expert but it does make you more qualified to judge them than not having children.

And for your information it is people like you stereotyping children that is more than likely to send them of the rails not all children are fed chicken nuggets and shoved in front of a tv I know mine arent neither are they rude or useless and I bet a lot of mothers on here can say the same about their children.

Well, it does seem that an awful lot of ignorant, stupid, sociopathic children were raised by parents. Obviously, having children is not sufficient qualification for being an expert.

Did I say it made you a expert I think that I actualy said that it doesn't please stop stereo typing our children I take it that you are not yet a parent?

Can I just ask what is your user name on pro choice talk if you don't post there4 already you should you have the same mentality of the posters over there they slag of children to

Hey poo I think that abortion should be compulsary for people like you who obviously detest children

Is it really necessary to indulge in name-calling when debating? "hey socrates, you're just a stupid greek!" no, I didn't think so. But heck, you're parents, so you must know what you are doing.

Incidentally, I did not say that all children were stupid and ignorant. But clearly the mere act of reproducing does not mean that one is suddenly an expert, does it?

Is it possible for you do debate the actual content of what I say without resorting to childish behaviour?

As I have already stated I didn't say it makes you an expert but more qualified than someone whom hasn't as yet had children.

Having a child does not necessarily make you more qualified then someone who does not. 50% yes, but not the other 50%. A lot of people who do not or choose not to have children do so because they actually have an understanding of what being a parent entails. We understand that we would want the best for our children (not throwing them in front of a tv with a mcdonald's happymeal) and we aren't ready or don't know that we can do that. I know several people with children who don't have a clue in hell what it means to be a parent or to care for a child. Them having that child or children does not make them more qualified than me simply because they breed and I choose not to.
Good parents, ones who really take time with their kids and understand that their children are now their lives, yes, they are more qualified than me, but the rest of them aren't.

Foreverblue....Really, why waste time posting insults? Do you really think anyone is going to give a hoot what you say when all you can do is name call and insult people? On top of that most of your insults are spelled incorrectly also, and that doesn't help you at all.

No one has the right to judge kids, it does not matter if you have them or not, that is like judging someone that has had an abortion, I mean, there is no such thing as perfect parents or perfect children or perfect pregnancy's. Helping people is great but being judgemental is wrong.

I do try not to judge, and I know their is no such thing as a perfect parent. But, when you pay not attention to your child whatsoever or if you beat and molest them, it is quite hard for me to not comment on it. I, also am not perfect as you can see.

This is why I say that helping kids and people are great, if you ever feel that kids are being neglected or abused, molested, turn it in to child services or someone that you can trust and allow a child to open up to you as sometimes it can be easy to do as a lot of them just need the attention. Same thing with an adult that is being abused as their are sooo many places that they can go to nowadays, some just need someone to talk too, and no one is perfect, it is just the way I feel.

Oh I see what you are saying. And you are right we shouldn't judge. I am bitter in the subject of children as there are so many who are abused,neglected, molested or just not cared for as a child should be. Then there are the people who have children on purpose when they know they can't afford it just to collect money from the government. It all just makes me so angry that I do tend to judge, although I shouldn't.

I agree with you there hotasfrick 199&9/9%. Then to have someone turn around and say that people who have not had children are less qualified, when I have had to take children out of these bad situations where the children have been molested, abused, and neglected by their own so-called parents and place these children into nice loving homes when the couple has no children, some people have no concept of what goes on, I have even helped raise a few.
Sincerely,
sandy

Bless your heart! You definately are a wonderful person.
I am glad you understand what I am talking about then. Yes, I understand why one would think having children makes you more qualified, but in these such instances as mentioned above, they aren't qualified at all! Grr!
