    I especially like babies and toddlers. I haven't had teenagers for quite a while, but when I did, I loved them dearly. They were good kids.:)

    My husband's response is always the same - yeah, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

    Listen hear the sound the child awakes
    Wonder all around the child awakes
    Now in his life he never must be lost
    No thoughts must deceive him in life he must trust
    With the eyes of a child, you must come out and see
    That your world's spinning 'round and through life you will be
    A small part, of a hope, of a love that exists
    In the eyes of a child you will see
    Earth falls far away new life awaits
    Time it has no day, new life awaits
    Here is your dream and now how does it feel
    No words will go with you and now what is real?
    With the eyes of a child, you must come out and see
    That your world's spinning 'round and through life you will be
    A small part, of a hope, of a love that exists
    In the eyes of a child you will see

    Love kids. Kids and dogs. I truly believe it’s unnatural to not like kids and dogs. It’s understandable if you choose not to have kids and / or dogs of your own both are expensive and time consuming to do right but if you just sincerely don’t like kids and dogs, there’s something wrong with you.

    I didn't used to. My ex-girlfriend has a baby. It has changed the way I feel 180°. And I'll explain in summarized abbreviated format.

    I feel so full of joy! This little girl (she has a daughter) is with another person, but to see that sweet little person is incredibly powerful! I want to be a better person and to make a better world for her. I think about how to keep myself adult-like and how important it is to her to see a man who she relies on who isn't weak or who isn't irresponsible. And I'm no saint, but I know certain things now that I didn't think about like maybe no swearing or 'zero cool' which is something I thought about months ago and has its origins in the movie 'Hackers' as it was the hack-handle of one of the main characters. Coolness is so poisonous to young people. But we have so many status affiliations in our lives... I backtrack on that every day, but somehow I know what to prioritize so I excuse myself.

    Yes!

    I do. See my post here for more: Porn: yes or no? A Choice at the Internet Service Provider & Cellular Company

    I really think we offer kids a world of difference simply by putting them high on our list of priorities. Do we offer them a better view by being faithful? Can we afford them a good line of defense against provocateurs?

    The best thing I can come up with is to create a world on the internet that prioritizes their needs and interpretations rather than our own "shadow blogging", shopping, or other things.

    Well? I was 16 when I decided the world didn't care about my reality. The internet wasn't the sort of aftercare I had envisioned post 'emotional growth'.

    Does that make me a mamby pamby liberal? No, I don't think it does.

    When we are children, we have a reasonable expectation that we are protected from something as infinitely criticized as the Net.





    In summary, I believe in preserving the environment. Do we ever think about what kind of world there will be after we are long gone and only our children and their children remain? Will there still be lakes and mountains? Or will everything be spoiled?

    It's hard to know. I'd like to think I do what I can, whether it's to uphold standards of normalcy that coordinate with reasonable expectations for kindness or to simply do something favorable for an elder.

    Sometimes I think my parents are critical of my love for children. Do your parents think you are trustable with children?

    I like kids. Some individual kids suck. I work with them.

    But, I am of the opinion we are breeding ourselves to extinction, and that must stop.

    Yes.

    And we can learn a lot from them. Instead, we tend to poison their minds.

    Life changes and we grow up. I do like kids, but I'm not into the idea of exploring new relationships. The one I have my sights on would be amazing, but it's really tentative. I haven't given up, but I'm not sure it will turn into anything.
