"How valid is the 'Do you have kids?' argument?"
Tue Oct-28-14 01:19 PM by CyrenYoung

  

          

saw a video post where a dude with his young daughter got approached by a man (and 2 others in the area) with a gun...

dude talks to the armed guy for a second...looks like he's being robbed but there is no audio...

all of a sudden dude just up and hauls ass

everyone is outraged that he didn't scoop up lil girl...but they left little girl alone

i don't particularly care about what people think is the right thing to do...but of course when expressing that it wasn't really a better option than picking her up (two birds, one bullet)

here comes the typical "Do you have kids?" BS

as if that is the only way people can be self-sacrificing

i have never seen that deflection work as planned

EDIT:

You really can't understand parenthood until you have kids
Oct 28th 2014
3
but it's not just about parenthood
Oct 28th 2014
4
it isn't, but it's definitely the stronger bond
Oct 28th 2014
14
      sub mom for younger relative or elderly
Oct 28th 2014
15
           but you have no basis for saying this if you are not a parent!
Oct 28th 2014
29
                you have no basis to speak for all parents.
Oct 28th 2014
30
                ^ that too.
Oct 28th 2014
32
                I wouldn't try to speak for all parents. I could only speak for myself.
Oct 28th 2014
46
                     uh huh.
Oct 28th 2014
48
                          Did I speak for all parent somewhere? I am just making the simple point
Oct 28th 2014
52
                               mm-hmm.
Oct 28th 2014
54
                unless a parent has been in a life or death situation...
Oct 28th 2014
31
                I am not talking about this protective issue. I am talking about him
Oct 28th 2014
53
                     right b/c he can't observe parents.
Oct 28th 2014
56
                          *holy ghost schmoney praise dances*
Oct 28th 2014
58
                          they never pull the 'no-kids card' when you AGREE w/them.
Oct 28th 2014
60
                          exactly.
Oct 28th 2014
65
                          I mean I guess you can try it and I if I white straight dude came to you...
Oct 28th 2014
70
                               another terrible analogy
Oct 28th 2014
71
                               Dude you stay a step behind, I've moved from your point...
Oct 28th 2014
73
                                    then take that shit elsewhere
Oct 28th 2014
74
                               you ppl really can't see past the gay thing w/me, can you?
Oct 28th 2014
77
                                    i didn't know it was something you desired people to see past.
Oct 28th 2014
81
                                    good for you, Buddy.
Oct 28th 2014
82
                                    Bullshit.
Oct 28th 2014
86
                                         Read #59 and stop your fucking whining. Sheesh.
Oct 29th 2014
90
                terrible analogy
Oct 28th 2014
36
                     have these ppl prioritized their kids in life or death situations?
Oct 28th 2014
40
                     ^most of this^ with the exception that I DO think that there is a unique
Oct 28th 2014
41
                     oh, i think it's unique
Oct 28th 2014
44
                     You don't get it.
Oct 28th 2014
49
                          then that doesn't fit the context of this post
Oct 28th 2014
55
                          Keep up dude. I was responding to a statement you made.
Oct 28th 2014
61
                               i said that in the context of this post, duh
Oct 28th 2014
63
                          i can speak on what it's like to be a parent though i'm not one.
Oct 28th 2014
59
                          Sounds alot like 'I have gay friends'.....
Oct 29th 2014
113
                               it's exactly the same thing.
Oct 29th 2014
116
                          What he is saying that in situations like the one in the example,
Oct 28th 2014
62
                               it's like someone got introduced to relativism
Oct 28th 2014
64
                               Thanks for translating, what you've said here makes perfect since.
Oct 28th 2014
72
you assume all parents feel this 'bond'.

      please tell us.
Oct 29th 2014
92
           which issue? the issue of general parenthood?
Oct 29th 2014
125
                the issue you spoke of earlier.
Oct 29th 2014
127
                     most parents won't talk about this. but when your child is born
Oct 29th 2014
130
                          i got one of those w/my kitten.
Oct 29th 2014
132
                               as the owner of two kittens, i call shenanigans.
Oct 29th 2014
134
                                    i started wearing shorts, dress socks and dress shoes after
Oct 29th 2014

                                         i'd excercise caution when wearing shorts w/ a 4 week old kitty
Oct 29th 2014

                                              the kitty is a 14 yr old cat now.
Oct 29th 2014

                                                   and i'll likely respond as annoyed and belligerent as people
