    Yes.  One gem of a quote is "But you don't know what you're getting!".  Um, you don't when you create a child either, but ok.  People also always make the case against adoption that you won't have a bond with your children or that you are missing a special feeling.  Now, I don't know because my parents have only ever adopted and I've only had one set of parents but I'm assuming that's bullocks.  

    Fischey, some people MIGHT be here and unless I ask the question we don't know, now do we.  The stupid people who've said things to my family are the kind of people you would assume to be predjuiced against it.

    [QUOTE]I do judge people who want their own children because they want kids who look like them/want to perpetuate their genes/want to see how their genes and their husband's genes will combine. Kids aren't science experiments.
    Posted by msmerymac[/QUOTE]
    While I do agree that kids aren't science experiment, the urge to procreate is a really primal urge that a lot of people follow. It's natural, for a lot of people anyway, to want to perpetuate their genes. I'm not going to argue that some people have kids for superficial reasons, but some people are just hardwired to want to have kids.

    And, I assume you didn't mean it this way, but your comment makes it sound like adopting a child (even an infant) would be bad because you don't know what you're getting.  I assume you didn't mean that, but be careful because that could be hurtful.

    adopting is bad, dude. you never know if you're getting a future tea party patriot.

    Yeah, I get that. I just get annoyed with people who do like 13 rounds of IVF and inject themelves with hormones daily trying to get pregnant and then give you a look of horror when you mention adopting. "But, but... I want one of my OWN." It WILL be your own, once the paperwork is final.

    See, you are contradicting yourself there. You say they aren't the same thing, but then say people are hypocrits for having their own children while not wanting to get a dog from a breeder.
    Also, I never said ANYTHING about the pros or cons of adoption. Way to put words in my mouth and make me sound like an asshole. Where the fuuck did you pull that from? I am all for adoption and have considered becoming a foster parent after I have children of my own.

    I judge my duplex neighbour who leaves a strip of grass on "my half" of the lawn, but puts the lawnmower (that belongs to my landlords) in their basement where I have no access to it. Can't you just cut the stupid little strip (which would take 2 extra minutes), or leave the lawnmower out for me so I can do it myself?!?!? Or at least answer the door/notes I leave you!

    I felt the wrath rising to the top of my head when I read that ignorant BS. Much like I did the other day when a woman stole a parking spot from under me. I really need to control my stress levels.

    I love the people who are saying, "That? Is the kind of bigoted rant your should keep to yourself."

    PS, this girl's FI is a complete tool and won't let her have male friends and wants her to vow to "obey" him in their ceremony, but won't say the same vows.

    Um...nobody said that. Some people WANT their own kid, because that's our nature as human beings. I want my own kids JUST BECAUSE I WANT MY OWN KIDS, but I also have considered adopting a child. And if I can't have my own, I can't promise that I won't try something like IVF before going to adoption.

    But that doesn't mean that I'm not considering adopting a dog. I've even thought about going through a reputable breeder, based on what I can find.<strong>

    </strong>Again, it's comparing APPLES to ORANGES, and you just can't compare the two, because it's not a fair comparison.

    99.9% of the time I have zero problem with you, and find you to be quite pleasant, but I've noticed that YOU REFUSE to listen to yourself and consider that you JUST MIGHT BE WRONG or are saying it wrong. You seem to think that your opinion is the ultimate truth to life, when in fact, it's just an opinion.

    I'm sorry if that was harsh,because I don't mean it to be, but this is bothering me, just because it's THAT stupid.

    Yes, I am reading what you are saying. Did you actually read what I wrote originally? Tell me where I said anything about adoption. And, yes, you did say this about something I wrote so I am taking it personally. What did I say that could be taken offensively? The dna comment? That had nothing to do with adoption, and everything to do with being human and not a dog.

    I, like Jess, usually think you are totally fine. But when you start in on the "I'm right and you're wrong, no matter what!" arguements you make me want to scream.

    What I am trying to tell you is that your DNA (human v. dog) comment did not come across as such.  It came across as a slight against adoption and I'm informing you that people have said things like that to me regarding being adopted.  So, in this case, I am informing you that what you said was not clear to someone who has heard that phrasing in other circumstances.
