Heh. Yeah.

From XKCD

If right-wingers were really so serious about how much they love children, they wouldn't make it so expensive to have children.

  2. Had to magnify it a bit to make out the pile of money part of the graphic. It's GOOD to be a DINK. So many more opportunities in life that way, and no guilt for bringing little humans into a world that's going to chew them up when it all falls apart. I don't suppose that breeders have much of a sense of guilt about that anyway.

    Although I can't claim to be a total DINK, since I have one now-grown child, conceived intentionally during the burst of optimism after the Soviet Empire collapsed and we no longer had to worry about The Bomb so much. Too bad humanity blew its chances to make things better after that. If I knew then what I know now, I might have decided not to pass along my genes. I'm doing what I can to educate my daughter about what I believe is coming, so that she might not get crushed by it. Unfortunately, she regards me as a bit tetched, Chicken Little-ish, even though I've been right about everything so far, and have a better grasp of the facts and trends than she does. Can't say I didn't warn her...

  3. Bukko, just click on any picture on any post on my blog to embiggen it. That's standard blogger.com functionality for images embedded in blog posts -- for *all* images embedded in blog posts, on *all* blogs published via blogger.com that are using the standard image publishing mechanism.

    I guess I'm a SINK. Unless you count the kittehs, in which I'm a SI2K. (Single Income Two Kittehs).

  4. Haha. I am a SINK :) And the advantages of that are more than financial even though it means that no one will be around to take care of me in my old age. But I am kind of a bitch so even if I had kids, they probably wouldnt' be around to take care of my old age either. *snort*.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
