Why we shouldn't procreate anymore...

Had a discussion at lunch today with my colleague in regards to the V-tech Shootings. Discussed how human nature has evolved to involve such violence, and several other things that I think were quite intellectual (heh) but basically passing time...

And then it led to the topic of kids nowsaday (heh, nowsaday is purposely spelt that way to honour Mr Orbin's beloved colleague).. Yet another reason not to bring a kid into the world. Other than exposing them to the crime that is on the rise, the terrorism, the global warming, the ever increasing cost of living (but the ever deteriorating quality of life), we now have to worry about the other factor-- what if our kid grew up to be some psycho. Sighz. Actually, at the risk of sounding insensitive, i think that the shooter was smart enough to kill himself. But what's the most pitiful about it all is the family that he has left behind to deal with the mess. What should the parents do now. Not that the shooter cares. How are the parents to face the community, the extended family, friends, and even themselves. How can the mom and dad go on living knowing that they brought up someone who shot so many ppl that it was labelled the worst masacre in US modern history!?!?! Sighz.

See why we should all just enjoy sex and not think about anything else (ie having kids)?! My point exactly. (trying to sound very wise... yea right... hahaha)
