Damn right, honey. That you should. I mean, what’s wrong with not wanting to join the class of breeders? You knwo when they say that having a kid totally changes you, well, it works two ways: one, it does because if you’re one of those few morally tempered people left wading in the swamps of the world, you have a kid to take care of and that speaks for itself — your life is no longer your own…However, if your prone to being irresponsible as all hell, you’ll neglect the kid and end up in jail for it. Not only that but who the hell wants to be married to someone when two years later you break up and have to give half of everything you own? Call me old fashioned, but damn…Those vows aren’t there just because it reads like romantic poetry…
Whatever this has to do with being pack rat with the old comics, i have no idea…I’m just a working stiff and since i don’t have time for comics, i just make them up in my head. However, Erika, i will say this, though: if you have enough comics stored you pretty much have a small fortune going there, and that’s always good business (speaking from a totally American point of view, i guess).
All i can tell you is this: If people live by the credo “it doesn’t have to make ‘cents’ as long as it makes dollars” then breeding is the last thing i wanna do. Call me a simple bastard. There’s lots more important things in life besides moola.
i love ranting…I’m here all week!Hey, while we’re generalizing, just remember who else fits into the “class of breeders.”
I feel like I’m in Nerd group therapy.
Yeah Beth, animals also fit into that class…but i’m not into bestiality.
And by the by when i say breeders class, i mean those who get married and have the kids, the house, the little yard and the dog and the mortgage and the hiatal hernia and the hemorrhoids…and then up and divorce and take half. That is what i mean by breeders. Not my style.
Isn’t there another little place on the net for you to make those kinds of assumptions and generalizations amoung others who share your narrow mindedness?
I am actually not aware of any animals with a little yard that they pay the mortgage on.

this thread has really grown since my first post. I really touched a nerve here, I guess.
Jesus, Beth, i MUSt have touched a nerve. But let me tell you something, if you were to see the kind of crap i see, you probobly would also take an objective view on it. I don’t say stuff i don’t have actual proof of, and society has a high divorce rate, so i’m not just talking out of my ass. You know and i know that there’s just too many options in life, and these options can either make or break a marriage..and a good half of the world winds up ruining a good thing. Is this the truth? Of course it is. The fact that it’s generalizing doesn’t take away the fact. Love and marriage takes a world of effort, and not a whole lot of folks can hack it.
Anyway, no need to get upset about it. This is, after all, my opinion, and if you can’t see that, then damn…Hey what can i say? I’m half nerd, half @!#$. This is just the truth without the rose tints. The fairy tale’s over as far as i’m concerned. But that’s just me. When you strip it down to the bare bones — it’s all about passing your genes to the next generation. Breeding. Just because we’re creative and can make green paper a valuable thing doesn’t change it. Boom. To each his own…HAve a nice day.Well, it appears you may have have inadvertently touched a nerve.
See, a couple months ago someone took it upon themself to pronounce that I was “breeeder trash” and posted links to pictures of dead babies in my guest book. So, anyway…The nerd therapy comment was pretty funny, even in the middle of my inappropriate affect.

Hey i never said breeders were trashy, beth. But i can see how that kinda stalker crap could affect someone. I’m just not a breeder…and by that i mean of any race or color or choice of lifestyle…be it animal, vegetable, or mineral. I don’t think rocks can breed, but if they do, then you can bet i’m not gonna do what they do.
“Breeders,” eh? Seriously, that phrase is hilarious in its own right! I can tolerate pretty much any human over the age of 10. However, why people think that babies and infants – and even toddlers, for that matter – are cute and fun and want to “have one,” I’m completely lost. Why? 1) They can’t control their own bodily functions. Enough said. 2) They need you 23-and-a-half out of the 24 hours in a day. Call me selfish, but that just ain’t my cup of coffee. 3) Until the age of about 6, children *typically* cannot speak in coherent sentences. So, what’s the point in lowering yourself to their level of intelligence by speaking “baby talk?” That’s not helping them! Children learn language by hearing it repeated correctly time after time…all those one-and-sometimes-two-syllable words are definitely not in the child’s best interest. 4) They can’t go home with somebody else at the end of the day. It’s like a job – I imagine – that never ends. Fun? Yeah…
However, Beth, that does not mean that I look down on those competent, responsible parents who really are trying to do the best thing for their child. I respect those people immensely, because I’m too selfish to do something even remotely like that. Unfortunately, though, I’m inclined to be cynical as all get out, because I see so many idiotic parents who are less emotionally and intellectually mature than their 14-or-15-year-old child, and don’t even bother to take an interest in him/her. (Ah yes, the joy of parent-teacher conferences)! It’s that “kind” of parent – if you can call them that – that makes me angry and think that the world is going to hell. If you’re going to plan to have a kid (notice I said plan…pregnancies do occur at inopportune times, I realize that), I think that it should be because you want that child, not because having one would be “fun” or “cute,” and make you feel “special.” (I see women who want to conceive and, in my experience, the attitude that a child will be “fun” is quite common…but it may be a geographic issue, as well). In short, having a child should not be out of a whim of selfishness, or even because you “love” that other person so very much. You can “love” someone without wanting to procreate with them. I’m not really sure of the “correct” reasons for wanting a child – obviously, I’ve never had them. However, I am sure of the incorrect reasons for wanting one…I see it all too often in this supposedly “safe” corner of the globe.
Erika, thank you for not procreating. You are doing all of humanity a huge favor!
That goes for you too Dobbs!
Why Joe i never knew you cared. Believe me, buddy, it doesn’t do anything to me…You can’t be a father if all you care about is yourself. And i wouldn’t really call it a favor, dude, but more like a time saver…I don’t need to make that mistake to know i can’t do it. A man’s got to know his limitations.
Thanks for the commentary, Erika. I’m starting to like you.Erika, I don’t think it’s selfish at all to not want kids. I get the breeder crap a lot and am a little touchy. I’m mistaken for a teenager a lot, and in this conservative, stuffy community, the comments get really old. I don’t feel a need to validate myself to them in the check out line so I usually ask them very personnal questions about themselves and they back off.
I hate labels, and there’s plenty of them out there.
Well, fantastic! I guess I do have friends after all…god, there’s a laugh!
Mr. Blow – trust me, I know that if I had children it would be damn scary…which is why I choose not to…well, there’s also the lack of opportunities, but that’s a whole other story…
Damn…Careful not to step in the bullshit. I know what we all need…I’m just not gonna say it…How about you guys make your suggestions and i’ll tell you if you’re right..BLahaha.
Down with politically correct behavior. I need a Corona.
<
Yeah, I know what I need, but there’s no way I’m going to come out and admit it in nerd central!
You should…that way you can pop this huge nerd cherry in this room, so to speak.
but you’re probobly like most people – bad and good. And for those of you out there who hasn’t made a mistake in life (or claim to) to knock you off youre cheesy goody-two-shoes high horse –Youre Bound to MAKE ONE. And i’ll be waiting for you. MuahahahaHm…I’ve made plenty of mistakes…usually involving forlorn-looking livestock and a paintbrush, but all that’s water under the bridge
Not sure I’d call myself “bad and good” per se, more like “deranged and hopelessly lost”…which usually causes me to do many things that I probably shouldn’t have done. Note: I didn’t say that I regret certain things I’ve done; I don’t regret anything, actually, because quite frankly, annoying and/or scaring people is a helluva lot of fun!“You should…that way you can pop this huge nerd cherry in this room, so to speak.” Yeah, while everybody else was out getting laid in high school, I was at home reading Nietzsche and listening to Prokofiev…probably explains the way I am today…now you tell me who has issues? I’m as much of a nerd as everybody else here, but I certainly can’t fix everyone’s problems…however, I can sympathize, at least to some degree. So go ahead,
away…So you were getting seduced by greater minds than the high school variety had to offer. Of course, no one can really beat the sex…It’s just damn good. A bit overrated, but good nonetheless. however if i told you i couldn’t resist it, then i’d be lying, because i do have the ability to just not give a @!#$. I just put it on these terms: if it ain’t available, then i’m not buying. In other words, i’m not the type to go looking for it – i don’t trust women enough to where id be working my ass off in the hopes of acceptance. So you can guess what i do on the weekends.
“So you were getting seduced by greater minds than the high school variety had to offer.” Yeah, I wish! Earlier in my college career, I had a penchant for my male professors…but that was when I was an undergraduate, impressionable and the whole inexperienced package…thank god nothing tangible ever came of my infatuations…I just sat and admired from afar. (Yeah, you don’t have to say it, I was a big geek…still am…) I still have a special affection towards redheaded jazzers, although for all intents and purposes, I shouldn’t have even the slightest twinge of affection (VERY long story there…I’ll shorten it by saying that my first “real” boyfriend was a redheaded jazz trombonist).
“In other words, i’m not the type to go looking for it – i don’t trust women enough to where id be working my ass off in the hopes of acceptance. So you can guess what i do on the weekends.” Man, didn’t you know that’s part of our plan? (The female world domination plan, that is…) You know, train men to turn into pathetic little shells of their former selves just to please our slightest whim, and then dump them on their ass and laugh? Geez, I thought you would’ve caught on by now… Just kidding; I’m not *that* evil! Seriously, dude, if that’s happened to you, that blows, and I seriously doubt if *all* women are like that. Working your ass off for someone else’s acceptance, only to face rejection is a horrific deal…oh, the stories I could tell!
What I really need is a good —-, but I guess I’ll have to settle for some good ol’ Elfman hate sites and James Horner pornos… (Take that, Michael Lewis! Yeah, I stole your collection, baby! Mwahaha!)
Well, actually i just have had the misfortune of dealing with alot of flakes because i wasn’t paying attention to the scene to know that it wasn’t going to work. if you pay close attention, you can tell if someone likes you or not…but if you don’t settle for an objective frame of mind, and just start falling for all that romantic fantasy @!#$, then you just lose yourself as well as the person’s vibes. You know how you meet someone and they instantly smile at you and act all giddy? If you don’t notice that at first, then chances are you never will…That’s one sign…
But anyway where i live also has alot to do with it. Hispanic culture is quite different than any other…Do I think Elfman fans are nerdy?
Well, no. Tim Burton’s Elfman’s fan and let me tell YOU, he’s not nerdy… just by the look of ‘im
Let’s ask the German lumberjacks who listen to Elfman while eating their buttered scones for tea.-Em
I collect comics, and I hate kids. And once more, I don’t give a flying rat’s ass if that makes me a “nerd” or not–because God help, I just don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of me.
And I don’t mind if other people have kids–so long as they control them, and keep ’em outta my way! (And so help me if one more person brings one of those screaming little things to a movie theatre….)
I just know if I had kids, I would hurt them–which is why I will not, repeat never have kids. And, granted I am only twenty-four, but I get pretty damn tired of society insisting that I will want the grubby little shits when I am older. I will not. Trust me! (And consider the alternative–yet another kid left dead or alone or hurt or lost….)
And yes, I am well aware that I am doing society a favor by not procreating–and I know of at least another few billion who should do the same. And yes, I always find it wise not to trust a woman, dobbs….slit slash stab your pretty little face in–if you piss me off. (Oh, but that’s just a snippet of a poem some “nerd” once wrote).
