You know, I'd love to see more young people get involved in politics but there's a difference between young people becoming interested in hwo their world is run and brainwashing a semi-sentient mini-shit into spouting the party line in exchange for nto gettign beat that night.
I'd feel sorry for him but I really can't stand children under 14.

That's fantastic. Taking political advice from someone who has never held down a job and who only knows about the 70s from what he's read in history textbooks and Austin Powers in Goldmember. IRL SKYFIRE George Bush? Bwaahahahaha! But really, people, poor kid. 13 and already brainwashed with Repub talking points. Eek.

Green-Eyed Lilo: The parent's motives are murky at best. I honestly think the kid is smart, articulate, and a good speaker--he could do anything he liked with his life. But the parents capitalized on this and are just flat-out USING him to their own ends rather than letting him reach his full potential on his own. It's one of the fundamental rules of advertising, isn't it? Sex, children, and animals sell products (though all three at the same time never works), so it stands to reason that any of the three could sell a message, right? They're exploiting him to forward their own agenda. It's sad.

I have no maternal instincts. None whatso ever. I just hate seeing anybody abused or exploited by people who are SUPPOSED to love and protect them. To be honest, though, I'd be a lousy parent. I hate children and would be impatient with them, snap at them, and lock them in a closet when they annoyed me. Hence why I'm not going to have any.

I don't see mine surviving beyond a week before I fill their room with boiling water. I swear to ceiling cat that I never used to be like this, until I moved to this street full of fucking children. I hate the little girl thingies!

DevilsCaplain2: Yep. When I'm in a REALLY nasty mood, I'll do something horrible. Like put them in a box and mail them to random addresses I find in the yellow pages. I'll be like the Unabomber, except instead of mailing bombs I'll mail screeching infants. Which frankly is much worse.
Sandafluffoid: That's how it works for a lot of people. They like kids until they actually have to spend a lot of time around them. It's about then that they realize that kids SUCK. I never really liked kids myself--even when I WAS one--but being forced to babysit my little cousins just absolutely cemented my dislike.

Eh...kids aren't all bad.
Ironbite-I've found a nice spice rub brings out the best flavor.

Also the excuse about the little shits in my road is only half true, there's also some nice self-hatred issues worked in with it. Ironbite: Personally I find that salt-baked children is a deliscious starter to complement any red wine. Although the trouble is convincing them to cover themselves in salt and climb in the oven...

Probably still have better parenting instincts than the actual parents. ;D I mean, just saying...These people are obviously at least pretty screwed up....

I've never actually had a problem with that.
Ironbite-I just tell 'em it's a game and when they scream real loud...they win.

I never really liked kids myself--even when I WAS one--but being forced to babysit my little cousins just absolutely cemented my dislike. You know, I've got to say, I'm normally anti-kids. but babysitting my ex's nephews has kind of the reverse response. All of a sudden, I end up with domestic urges. Then, I come to my senses again and realize a cynical misanthrope is a bad choice for a parent. ...And still probably less terrible than this kid's parents.

The people who actually HAVE children are sometimes the worst ones for the job, and the ones who would likely be decent parents are the ones deciding NOT to have any. Then again, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't require a great deal of effort to be a better parent than these people are...

It's like in the movie "Idiocracy", where idiots become the dominant people on the planet because all the smart people make smart decisions about when and how many children to have, while the stupid people breed like rabbits locked in a Viagra factory.
