I just got home a short while ago. What's with all these posts about kids?

[NightTrain]

Seriously, how did this flame war ignite? Enquiring minds want to know!

1. no clue

I'm going away for a few hours. Maybe then people will have had enough drinks/toked up enough to calm the fucking hell down :hi:

2. Huh?

What are you talking about?

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

7. Nevermind... I see the threads you are talking about. n/t

[crispini]

3. LOL

Who knows? Post President's Day angst? I'm going to go hang out somewhere else; this place is scary right now!

[Guy Fawkes]

4. I'm just as in the dark as you are...

so I've been making fun of it.

6. There was a thread about a dad bringing a vomiting child

into a restaurant.

The OP was complaining about why would he bring a sick kid to a restaurant.

The contingent of mommy-nazis took this to be an attack against children and their parents' right to take them anywhere at any time and allow any behavior.

16. It was hilarious

I couldn't stop laughing. Makes me wonder what insane-ass world some people live in. You know, you can only pose so many "what-ifs" to a situation before it becomes plain stupid. I like the one who said something like "what if they were from venus...."

I say this as a parent of a kid who puked in the checkout lane at the grocery store. I left my shit on the conveyor belt and bolted out of the place after apologizing profusely to the "clean up" crew. Shopping can wait.

8. It's the quarterly flame-fest between parents and the childless.

I swear you can set your watch by the flamefests here.

[NightTrain]

10. But I'm childless and I love kids!

Does that make me a freak of nature now? :shrug:

[yvr girl]

12. You know what the ironic thing is

I didn't even know about the flame wars in the lounge. Bad timing on my part.

[GOPisEvil]

14. Throw in an attack on Chevrolets, too.

Oh, and insult George Washington while you're at it. Might as well make your attack on American institutions complete. :-)

9. We hate kids now

It's the *thing* today.

[miss_kitty]

11. what? there are posts about kids? in the lounge?

maybe they need to start a kids group.:shrug:

I was hoping for more of the stripper/prostitute threads

"Do NOT treat strippers like prostitutes."

and my riotously funny copycat thread:

"Do NOT treat prostitutes like strippers"

13. just like WWI: it takes two to make peace, but only one to make war,

and fourteen at the same time for a world war

15. Nobody knows

Apparantly some people like kids, some people don't like kids, some people like kids only if well cooked.

I don't think it's reached flame war proportions yet, though.

Khash.
