I was about to post this under the "Things that make you unique" thread, when I realized that there's probably enough here to support a thread of its own. Let me repeat:

I hate children.

It's not a mild annoyance, nor a casual dismissal. I genuinely hate them. Everything, from their smug sense of entitlement to their utter defenselessness, I can't stand. Truly, mankind would have been wise to learn from the reptiles, who's young hatch as fully-functional miniatures of their parents - capable of hunting and surviving from the get-go. Human infants aren't as efficient. They lay about and waste their parents resources for roughly 20 years, long past the point of sixual maturity (where most animals realize "Hey, I can feed myself now!"). Where does everyone's patience come from? Could the need to care for one's young possibly dillude so many people into believing their children are actually special, benevolent additions to the world? How strong could this drive possibly be if one such as myself can throw it away so quickly?

I have no children of my own and I never will. My partner hates children as much (if not more) than I do, which removes the need for compromise on that front. Despite this, I'm exposed to children on a daily, protracted basis - I work in a children's library, where I have to deal with their regular BS without striking them physically. Really, I see the worst parts of them made manifest for all to see. Children don't care if they're viewed as cruel, evil, or manipulative. They revel in it.

Really, if an advlt acted the way a child did, they'd be imprisoned and put to death. Or locked away in an insane asylum. Either/or. Led by their own primitive desires, they use physical force and emotional manipulation to get what they want from their parents who remain helpless to fight back. They take pleasure in the pain of others - not in the innocent way that you or I might laugh at a YouTube video, either. They will go out of their way to orchestrate situations that will harm and/or humiliate their peers.

Honestly, I can say that I am neither pro-choice nor pro-life. I am pro-abortion. I believe the world would become a truly brighter place without children in it. If I had children, I would abuse them both physically and emotionally.

So, let me ask you all this: To those of you with children, why do you put up with the abuse? Why haven't you passed them off to the state, or aborted them? To those without: do you plan on having kids? Why or why not?

Spleen: vented.

This thread is in violation of more than one rule.

uhh, you know... you were a child once, as was everyone else in the world.

I could be considered a kid, due to the fact that I'm fifteen. However, unlike most, I go out of my way to help others. Whether it be with science homework or just giving my shoulder to cry on.

I lovehate children. They can be gross and annoying but they know how to have a good time.

That probably didn't sound right coming from me.

You'll grow older and get over it.

I think a new job should be in order soon.....

Some never do.

You sure it's not just the type of society that children are raised in that makes you feel this way?
Some children in the world work and contribute to the family and society when they are young.
Many even learn how to behave just by observing and participating in what the advlts do.
This is the way it has been for most of human existence.
So would you like them more if we returned to this?

and yet your acting like one. irony ftw

how can you compare children to animals?, animals are not humans, THEY ARE ANIMALS they are different to us

I wonder if the op has the same opinion of hypocrites as they do children,because they sure are acting like one.
EDIT-beaten!

Wait, you want to abort all children? You realize that that would mean no advlts further down the line, right?

You have no business working in a children's library then. Do yourself a favor and find a new job.
Telling you why I like children is like telling people who [censored] and moan about the human race to lead the way, and off themselves.
It will accomplish nothing, so what is the point? Your mind is closed.

I don't hate children.

I hate annoying brats.

Even more so, I hate their parents for being terrible parents. Don't let your kid tell you what to do. Don't let them have whatever they want. Don't let them push you around.

Back in my day, if we acted up, we'd get a good ass whooping and talking to. No dinner and no desert. Exiled to our rooms to think about what we'd done.

These days we have "time out."

For the record, I love my nephews. They might be little hellions once in a while, but when their mother and father get stern, they listen. I've talked to them and even taught them some new things and some manners (taught one of them patience at Christmas).

There are many different children with many different attitudes. I think you're just in a place where the frequent visitors ARE brats.

My beliefs lend me a certain objectivity when it comes to my work. I'm surprisingly good at my job for someone with my inclination.

As for "growing out of it", maybe. Who can say what the future holds? It's not very likely, though.

"Whoah." Sums up my reaction to reading that. There were just, so many cruel things you just said. It's gotta be unhealthy how much hate you have for other human beings. Key Words: Human Beings.

Here that still happens, its wrong and there are laws against child labor.

I'm an animal person. =)


Yes, I've come to terms with that.

But technically, human is a species of animals.

I have to say, I enjoy the existence of the human race more than I feel annoyed by children. I really don't see why you would accept the disappearance of the human race just to get rid of children, whom you perceive as annoying. Seriously, just don't have any kids of your own and don't work at a children's library if you don't want to interact with them.

So many haters of humanity on the internet isn't there?
Apparently they are unaware that we are the only sapient creatures in the known universe and that the standards by which they judge humanity were created by...humanity.
it doesn't get any better than this civilization wise.

By children, do you mean like 0-12, or like 0-17?

no you're not because human are animals if we go into scientific facts.
