What good reasons do you think people have for having children? Is carrying on the family name or family business and your precious genes any better?

Not in my experience, no.

I live in the dreamland where I got diagnosed with cancer at 33 and was able to manage on my own until I wasn’t, and all my caring friends cared for me until they rightfully had their own priorities to deal with. 

I beg to differ. You think incapacity just strikes you and *poof* your family (if you have one) wheels you off to one? Disability happens gradually, and can happen even when you’re deemed to be young. If you’re in your 40s, can you afford to pay someone to come help you, if your difficulty is just with stretching your…

Didn’t they sort of try to rebrand Krampus as Elf on the Shelf? Or was that just the NSA rebranding effort?

They’re perfectly satisfactory until you need people.

All the money you think you saved not being married will be gone twice over once illness befalls you and you have to pay a home nurse or go into a facility because you can’t manage on your own. Rest assured, they’ll not only take your money, they’ll screw you over more than you imagine your family ever could.

I didn’t imply that all poor white people are members of the KKK. DrugstoreGlasses did, and that’s why I called her an asshole.

Wow, so I guess you’re against Holocaust documentaries airing too, no? I mean, putting that out there might inspire people to commit those crimes so it’s just best to pretend it never happened, right?

So what do you want then? You want poor disaffected white folk to understand you, but you don’t want to place the same effort to understand them? Nice attitude, asshole.

What’s ethical about journalists selling human interest stories for money, getting accolades from their peers and the public while the subjects get nothing?

The normal people one where KKK members don’t out themselves and discuss their thoughts over coffee at work.

So news and documentary people aren’t supposed to report on anything bad and disturbing because it might inspire people? What news are we left with then, the weather, sports and the stock exchange?

I don’t think donations to charities they specifically mentioned they care about are a bad idea, just like getting them subscriptions to companies they specifically mention is a good idea.

P.S. You don’t even need to go as far as the Mars rover. Here is a sassy robot lamp somebody made, but I doubt it’s for sale (yet, anyway). Have a merry whatever you’re celebrating!

I’m projecting? LOL. Can you name one single solitary vocal conservative woman that has not been insulted using the very sexist tropes this site’s writers claim to be against? Have you ever said anything even remotely civil about a vocal conservative female figure? Anything approaching the sense of “Yes, I vehemently…

I figured you probably meant sentient, and sorry to tell you they already are. The Mars rover was programmed to land in a specific place on Mars, take pictures and maybe collect samples of whatever thing it can pick up.

I am not trying to avoid anything. If you look at my comment history, you’ll see that I have already answered your question.

Sorry, but nowhere in my comments do you see me saying that I don’t despise her because I think she’s a person of integrity.
