By the time intelligent people hit marriage age (25?), they should (and deep down, they do) know whether they want children or not, or they at least know that they haven't made up their mind. I think that it's ok to change one's mind on this around age 14-20, but by 25 you should be ready to commit to breed or not breed, or at least know that you're not certain. And you should pair up accordingly.

The whole "when i got married, I knew I didn't want children, and now I know the opposite" thing is, in a word, bullshit. Adults don't pull 180 degree turns about their most fundamental beliefs of who they are. At least, not without major life-altering experiences.

Wrong. Happens all the time. You are really not very mature at 25 and to think you know exactly how you'll feel about something like that for the rest of your life at such a young age is just plain stupid.

I will merely give them what I know and drill it into their heads that they'd better not come home knocked up or having knocked someone up.

Watch out for "better nots." If daughter gets pregnant you want to know early, you don't want her scared and hiding it from you for months.
We have a too-early grandma down the street because of "better not" threats.

Except for the pagan, uh, Romans. You know, the guys that threw ole JC on the cross.

But the jury of his peers voted for Barrabus. The Romans were only the muscle job.

you are ruling out the 35-9 possibility?

Of course it's a possibility, but not one that really fits my current needs or expectations. I may be inclined to sell it at a discount, particularly to someone who always seems to come up with new and embarrassing photos of me.

I am inclined to auction my 1-4 and 4-7 to the highest bidder, but I'm having trouble establishing a reserve price. Math is hard.

True, but I also don't want to say "Tell me as soon as possible so I can discretely take you to the clinic out of state" either. I guess I'll just say something like "Getting pregnant can ruin your life and its not an easy thing to get an abortion." I'm a good actor. i'll make it stick properly. That said, if she wants to keep the kid, i think she'll be finishing in boarding school in Montana.

Anyone care to buy my 9-5 square?

I had a dream last night of a lizard, on a couch, rooting for field goals.

Show me something with a zero on it for Carolina, and I'll show you a good investment.

So you drew the numbers, eh? Have you convinced the other pool participants that it was random yet?

Here's a photo that I found from ACL:



The folks at the Walgreens counter threatened to turn me in to the police just for having it on my camera. I have since cropped it to remove the lizard genitalia and to add a little biographical info about you. Hope I'm not violating the no outing policy here...

On a tangent, if one is a guy and feels strongly about never wanting to reproduce, there is a mechanism to ensure such an outcome. If you are not willing to take it, then there's got to be doubt in your mind.

Amen, bro.

he's over 25. He knows for sure what he wants out of life, so leave him to his plans.

I'd just as soon not know anything about the Not Bobette's sex life -- whether before, during, or after marriage or civil committment ceremony or whatever.

By the way, denial is not ignorance. One can say "I don't want to know anything about it, but if you're going to be stupid, don't be an idiot -- use a condom."

*Or maybe you will. What do I know? But thinking about this thing in the abstract is a lot different than thinking about it when little Sabrina Dangerfield introduces you to some dude (whoops -- I meant "cat") who reminds you of all of the smarmy Lotharios you knew at the DKE house.

As irrefutable proof, and to buttress my esteemed colleague's proposition, I offer the following anectodal evidence (how's that for litigation-speak?):

My husband hoped and prayed we wouldn't have girls for this VERY reason. He knew he would want to strangle all the hornytoad teenaged boys** coming to court [what would have been] our lovely daughter(s). The very thought made him sick to his stomach.



**Knowing only too well what hornytoad teenaged boys think about every waking (and even sleeping!) moment.

So I guess we've established that RP was dreaming about Hank?

I was hoping, till she distinguished a dream from her reality.

What Sebastian doesn't realize yet is that, no matter who it is, his daughter's first true love is going to look, in his eyes, just like this.

So its Ok for your horned up son to fuck someone else's daughter, but your daughter must guard "the v" with her life?

Other than pregnancy concerns, why should it matter whether its your son or your daughter having sex? Do you think your daughter's less into sex than her bf?

This whole macho line of "I'll never let my daughter out of the house" horseshit is comedy. Your daughter is going to go out and get laid, and there ain't jack shit you can do about it. Get off your high horse and be an adult about things. Being an adult involves realizing the reality for what it is - teenagers fuck.. a lot... and last I heard, it took two to fuck.

EDIT - If my daughter brought home the lizard guy, I would be pretty upset. That said, i think its quite homoerotic for dad to be offering his input about suitors. In order to select a suitor, dad would probably imagine whom he'd rather have his daughter sleep with, and I don't think men should be considering the bedroom prowess of 17 year old boys. "Well, Chad looks quite muscular... he'd probably crack Mary open like a wishbone, whereas Melbvin, well... he looks gentle and caring. he's probably offer the best foreplay..."
