Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blessed Kitten" data-source="post: 2081621" data-attributes="member: 23126">Well, let me expand on that a little then. I hate the concept of children. By that I mean I can't stand the hyper-natalist "babies are the answer to all of life's problem" culture that I perceive in presently the USA. I think it is destructive and highly irresponsible, and I see it as being fueled in combination by a widespread desire to supplant real morality and ethics with arbitrary tradition in order to satisfy a conservative fantasy to recreate a world that never was, as well as the ever hungrier bottom line of the coporate world and its desire for stable markets and cheap labor. For quite some time, I also have been a strong proponent of negative population growth as a necessity for a universally acceptable quality of life for the majority of the world population. Combined with the fact that I find most children thoroughly unpleasant company, which I feel is in part due to lax and often poor parenting practices, my general sentiment towards human young is not overly positive. It's generally much more convenient to say that I hate children, although in retrospect that comment was a bit misleading for the sake of brevity.And you're right, I'm not a exactly a developmental psychologist, and I'm probably not the best judge of how a child will end up. I do know however, that the girl that I mentioned appears to brighter, more engaged and well rounded than any other child that age that I have interacted with. And most importantly, she has an actively engaged mother, who is patient, caring and understanding, which in my estimation renders trivial the impact of even a consistent pattern of media viewing.</blockquote>
