No offense taken I really love the ponies pics FIM seems like a new addiction to me.TheYellowCellPhone said:This thread is just going to be other Escapists whining about kids. Very annoying every time these thread topics roll 'round. Not you, OP, just the people who post. So, instead of fighting against them, I'm just going to post pictures of ponies.
I dont really mind people hatin or disliking kids I wanted to know everyones opinion on the matter.
really dont expect a flame war on this since the topic doenst really attract spiteful people.
A single kid can be fine, but many of them often default the the intelligence of the dumbest one of the group. So I hate kids (plural).
Generally, yes. I outright refuse to do canteen duty at my school, because it involves telling the unwashed masses of children what to do. Which they promptly ignore. So ultimately, it's a pointless endeavour, and I won't let my day be darkened by it.
Still, kids can be good. I tar them all with the same brush of cynicism, but cynicism is easy to wash off, and if it turns out they aren't midget hell spawn then good.

I am 17, in sixth form at a UK grammar school. The Grammar school part should supposedly weed out the bastards, but it turns out intelligence is not in any way related to being a dick. To cut it short:
I know a fair few kids in the lower school (15 and under), and I would say 30-40% are what one would refer to as "little shits". They have cut in front of me in lines, attempted to rifle through items in my bag, and "accidently" thrown basket balls at my head in the playground. They know I could easily kick their asses, and equally know that I wouldn't dare because the school would call it a disproportionate response and thus I would come out worse off.
Whilst a good proportion of kids are decent, there are far too many that act like they are untouchable. Why? Because they know they ARE untouchable. Past 10 years of age I never needed incentives to be a reasonable person, but apparently that experience does not apply to everyone.
As for reasons why this is happening. It is probably a mixture of parents and lack of discipline at schools. No need to bring back corporal punishment, but change the punishments so they are actually punishing. For example, don't suspend the child in the normal fashion where he just has to do work on his/her own, that is not a deterrent at all. Instead make the child sit doing NOTHING in isolation for at least a few hours each day, and then make them catch up with the work out of school time.

I love kids, and I am looking forward to the day I become a father. I know there is over population adn scuh but I love kids and I want to prove that I am better than my own father.
I personally know 18 year olds who do the same thing (not for Ice Cream specifically, but you get the idea). This isn't a 'kid exclusive' thing.Parugraph said:
Im likely one of the last persons ever who should have children.
I remember just a few days ago, I was on my way home from doing some grocery shopping. About halfway home, a little kid, barely knee-high, charged around the corner, slammed into me and fell backwards on its arse, where it started crying like a kicked dog.
The mother, standing shortly behind the crying brat, gave me the evil eye and started yelling at me what got into me to make her kid cry.
I started laughing to her face, told her that she "should be happy her blind crybaby did not caused me to drop my shopping bag" and went home, logically not paying the slightst attention to the crying brat.
