I completely support abortion... if you created it, you should be able to destroy it.
I think parents should be able to have complete control over their kids. If you have a retarded kid, you should be able to destroy them. What type of life would they lead? A worthless one because they are useless. There lack of life skills will lead them to rely upon tax dollars just to survive:disgust:
How dare you judge a person's worth by your own limited vision!
You should show this to your parents. They might have a change of heart about letting you live after reading it.
Seriously, you need to talk to parents of disabled (retarded) children. You need to get to know some disabled children. If you have never known pure love and acceptance in your life, they will show it to you. Yes, even a black-hearted person like you. These children may need more financial support over their lives, but that does not make them worthless. It is only selfish parents who regret having them. There are many, many families who would readily testify that their lives have been immeasuably brightened by the light and love these children bring. I have been touched by it myself, and will forever be a better person because of it.
You can't reduce life to a balance-sheet like a chekbook. If you could, your limited scope would persuade many to write you off. Get a new perspective, or you'll be unhappy all your life.
You do not know my relationship with my parents. For all you know, I may have learned this from my parents. So don't make assumptions which insult you. I have dealt with retarded children before in volunteering. I am not saying that all retarded children should be destroyed. If you want your retarded kid you are entitled to pay for him.
And sure, people love all kinds of weird stuff, and a Porsche can brighten someone's life. So if i miss out on what could be the best thing that could happen to me; hey that?s my problem, I'll deal with it. For every "happy" person, with a child, I am sure there are people that don't like having children or would not like to have children, for example..hmmm...me. Love may be great, but it is weakness. And you want to judge my opinion as bad, crazy, or wrong? Well there are no such things. Instead there are more subtle levels of good and bad.
And you know if you want to get rid of your kid at 3 months pregnant, what is so different than 2 years old? I feel if I want to control my child's life, I should be able to do it when I feel, not when "you" deem it socially acceptable. Cause isn't that what this whole argument is? When society feels its ok to decide not to have a kid anymore?
What is good for you is not good for everybody. Remember we live in a democracy and if 90% of our citizens thought rape should be legalized, would it not be wrong to do otherwise? My solution is all inclusive, if you want your child, no matter his/her condition, you go right ahead. And if you want to go save all the children put out by families, that?s your vice, just don't do it at others' expense.
Furthermore...Don't judge me, call me black hearted, and unhappy. I am happy, I am kind, and I have an educated perspective. So put your finger back in your pocket and stop waving it around with a "shame on you!" attitude. How dare I? How dare you! You can question the morality of my life's philosophy, but who gave you the right to decide its right or wrong? You want to change my mind, show me a guarantee that keeping a kid you don't want is good for either of you? And if I don't want the child, and you want to save it...you do that alone.
You want to make this issue way simpler than it is. I'm not going to open up Quicken and judge a child's worth and if his stock drops below 20, sell. Its closed minded people like you that keep recreational drugs illegal, want to save poor Somali kids, and yes, step over the beggar lying in his urine outside the KFC. Selfish people like yourself make others suffer for your own self-righteous motives.
