How about: sarcastic straight child over a badly dressed gay child?

Dakar² · Feb 8, 2007, 02:59 PM

Well that's a no-brainer, sarcasm is awesome.

Edit: I think I'd go with intelligent gay. His percentage chance of pro-creating aren't a guaranteed zero.

Oisín · Feb 8, 2007, 03:23 PM

Definitely intelligent one. I dislike stupidity, especially in children.

(Ignorant is not the opposite of intelligent, by the way)

I realize this. I was putting a spin on one of his hypotheticals.

Who are you talking to?

But on a side note no matter how physically perfect your child may be it will still get teased for either being the most popular or because their personality sucks.

So people get teased in Canada for being popular? Really?

People get teased everywhere for being popular.

You know it's the ones people call tramp, whore, no-it-all, miss priss, attention whore etc. Of course the name calling is out of jealousy, but it still happens.

There is a difference between being an attention whore and a tramp and being popular.

The first yes, they get teased everywhere. The latter, no.

Being popular always meant you DIDN'T get teased.

Just out of curiosity, do you ALWAYS have to think you're right?

Nowhere did I say the person was a tramp, but popular girls/guys are often classed as such by the jealous girls/guys. If you ever made it to highschool, you'd know this.

Salty · Feb 8, 2007, 06:31 PM

I hope my kids get teased a bit. Not to the point that I was, but at the same times one of the reasons a lot of the really kind people I know are the way they are is because they were hurt by other people and have resolved to not do that to others. It's often the people who have never been in a place of pain that treat others badly.

Or they treat them WORSE than they were treated if they have felt that pain

Remember the wackjobs who shootup schools because they were picked on?

Must have changed since I went to school.

While they might get made fun of behind their backs, rarely does it happen to their face I am betting.

Again, popular people rarely get "attacked"

People who do so usually look for easy targets. AKA people they think they can get by with picking on without getting much flack from anyone else.

You tend to call popular people AKA people with lots of friends. names and their friends suddenly turn into your enemies.

Like that matters when you're at the bottom anyways

You seem to think of popular as just those who are well liked by everyone. There are lot's of popular people who get picked on regularly, look at celebs. for instance. (Britany, ok yeah she is a slut, but still

)

Kevin · Feb 8, 2007, 06:41 PM

That's different, they are in the limelight. And it's COOL to diss brit cause everyone is doing it.

No one is going harass you for it.

Well no one over 13 anyhow.

how about, they get married and pop out a few kids for you, then get divorced and announce they're gay when they're 35? would that work?

( I want grandkids too, but I want happy well-adjusted kids more.
