To DUers who were born, what if your parents had abstained

[Timefortruth]

that night? What if they had decided to watch a good movie and go to bed early, there wouldn’t be a you!

1. OK.

So what's you're point?

[Fenris]

2. I don't see how that's a bad thing

Frankly, with the genes I got, I would have prefered that my mother enter a convent and my father been gay.

3. I may have been better off if I had remained theoretical.

Though I'd never know it.

4. Honestly

I kinda wish they had.

On the table in the dining room of a restaurant?

And to tell me that 20 years later as we're eating at that very same table. Gag

Waiter! Check please!

[Fenris]

5. LOL!

:D

[GOPisEvil]

9. Aiiiyeeee!!!!

At least they should have abstained from telling you that story AT THAT TABLE!!! :D

6. What about Duers that weren't born?

Why not include them?

[wtmusic]

11. Yeah, I wasn't born

I post, therefore I am!

[radwriter0555]

14. Hatched then.

Or pouched like a marsupial?

7. This is a fun little thought game I've played with myself off & on

over the years. It's really hard to imagine not existing!

BTW, Fenris, is that the girl from "The Bad Seed"? She's really creepy!

8. Ya ! I wouldn't be here right now.

But my dad is real horny like me. Him and my Mom are in their late 70's and they still get it twice a week. Wednesdays and Saturdays are their sex nights my Mom told me. I called there at 9:00 pm my time which was 10:00 pm Fla time and he tells me - Don't EVER call over here on Wednesday nights again MISTER ! Damn I thought I was bad about not answering the door when my wife's kids come over when we are doing it.

10. sometimes i wish it would have worked out that way ....

:hippie:

[MaryBear]

15. Hey, hippiechick!

We're glad you're here, born or unborn!

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

12. I would have waited around a little while and gone into some other

baby's body, to some parents that actually wanted me and weren't just having me because the Catholic Church told them not to use birth control.

[It was not a pretzel]

13. One wouldn't notice

so why care?

[Sal316]

16. If my parents had waited until getting married...

...there'd be no Sal.

tee hee.
