GODDESSES?!

Okay, how about Kali? Goddess of death and destruction, worshipped in graveyards, known for copulating with her husband while devouring his entrails.

I love Sekhmet, personally. Head of a lion, body of a woman, symbolizes warfare and the desert sun. Not only is she not a mother, she would fry little Hunter-Dylan and his sister Katelynn-Dakota to a crisp.

There's always Athena, virgin goddess. No kids there.

How about Atropos, the last of the Greek fates, responsible for cutting the thread of life?

Goddesses, my ass. These are nothing but snivelling morons who suspect the deep truth of their lives, that is that they have no life, no future and are mired in an inescapable quagmire of snotty noses and diapers -- and they try to make themselves feel better about their shitty lives by imagining that there is a "Goddess of diaper rash" someplace. Give me a break.

Type: I just wanna flame

This has turned into 3 rants in one, so please bear with me.

Rant 1: Yuppie vs. Welfare Breeders

I think the reason yupscum pahrunts piss me off more than welfarescum is twofold. First, their entitlement attitude is far higher than that of the welfarescum. They believe that they are "the Chosen" simply by virtue of having bred, and they insinuate themselves and their crotchcritters into far more annoying places than welfarescum (decent restaurants, theatres, etc.). The all seem to have this irritating superiority complex that really comes down to "I am more important than God in my own mind, and all must bow to me!".

...this leads into Rant 2: Breeders and the Environment

They also consume a lot more and wreak unbelievable havoc on the environment. This is one of my huge problems with North American yuppie breeders. They seem to believe that they can just continue blithely on filling up landfills with Pampers, driving gas-guzzling SUVs that get 0.5 mpg, obliterating arable land at a terrifying rate for Mcmansion developments, pumping raw sewage into the ocean, wasting/defiling fresh water, destroying habitat, overusing antibiotics and breeding superbugs, and breeding yet more little consumers because "we're not overpopulated in Murka!" and there will somehow magically be no reprisal because "it's fur the chyyyiiiillllldruun!".

Well, surprise surprise breeders: Nature really doesn't give a flying fuck about your pwecious children - and she has some very unpleasant methods of reducing populations. We're all going to find this out because we are due for a massive pandemic/epidmeic within the next ten years...and thanks to the breeders who demand antibiotics for everything and cheap (read hormone/medicated) meat, we are going to have zero defense against it. Granted, that's if bioterror/nuclear war doesn't hit us first, which I am expecting at this point, given the Bush regime's policies.

...and Rant 3: Breeders and Politics

The other thing that scares me about yupscum breeder attitudes is this belief that they can and should do anything to protect their "rightful" lifestyle - whether this includes sucking away money from the genuinely needy folk in society (childed or CF alike), demanding credit for not even doing a job they signed on for, raising useless depraved brats, bombing innocent civilians and starting WWIII to protect our "right" to cheap oil (while ignoring up and coming clean fuel sources that could eliminate our need for foreign oil). I am almost hoping that the Arabs do impose an oil embargo. At least it would check the trend towards massive gas guzzlers and insane consumer spending.

...and finally: General Rant


North Americans need to wake up. We are engaging in incredibly destructive behaviours that will rebound on us certainly within a quarter century, and quite likely earlier than that if the confict in the Middle East explodes into all-out global war. I get sick of hearing breeders who say "well, I recycle/eat organic/send money to the Sierra Club, so you should overlook the fact that I have 3 kids and drive an SUV." Wrong. This is not a balancing act you're engaged in, you stupid fucks! I'm also sick of hearing "We should bomb Afghanistan but ignore the fact that Israel is in flagrant violation of international law and keep sending them money." They could stop a lot of things there real quick by telling Israel that until they withdraw and start talking peace, the US will provide no more money or loans of any kind. But of course it won't happen.

STOP THE FREAKIN'PLANET....I WANT OFF! Whew. If anybody wants to discuss, can we start a thread on the board?


Where: on the news
Type: Hey, did you see this?

Man, oh, man! I was watching MSNBC yesterday afternoon and caught a story that sure isn't kicking up much of a ruckus anywhere else. In fact, I am pretty impressed that it was carried by NBC news given their assorted Dateline docu-dramas about children and babies. Anyhoo, there was a woman down in Lousiana who violated her probation and was arrested. During the physical for entry into the jail, it was discovered she was pregnant. She asked for an abortion immediately. They said they had to see if it could be done. It would not be done by the prison (of course the same nimrods will provide prenatal care for a prisoner to bring a brat into the world with a hell of a chance at success in life) She asked that the prison arrange for the abortion to take place at a local clinic, and SHE WANTED TO PAY FOR IT, they said they had to get lawyers and go to court and yadda yadda yadda. Hello, she was barely within the time frame that abortions are still allowed and by the time the legal wrangling was finished, she was 6 months along and abortion was illegal. So she gets out of jail, gives birth and gave the baby up for adoption. I give her HUGE credit for doing that because so many women would have kept that baby once it was born. So now, she is suing the state of Lousiana for denying her right to an abortion and forcing her to bear a child! Yay for her! MSNBC had a representative from a reproductive rights organization on to argue her point, but the hilarious part is that no pro-lifer was willing to step up to the plate on this one. I have never ever seen that happen. Was Pat Robertson busy? Did Jimmy Swaggart not feel up to the challenge?? What the hell is their cause coming to? The newscaster was trying to work the angle that prisoner's give up a lot of rights, but he really didn't even look like he could muster much enthusiasm for it. Gee, maybe he has reported a few stories on idiots who tortured and abused kids they never should have had in the first place and he also felt like the woman had her head on straight and knew when she was in over her head? Like that couple that was just busted this week for keeping their retarded son locked in a room with no windows, or bedding for the past ten years and let him lay in his filth to rot when he died...just to get the monthly support check. Arrrrgggghhhhhh! They sure didn't get the memo about becoming better, unselfish people when they bred.


Rant Number: 21766
When: Over the weekend
What kind: My frickin' family rant
Where: My parents' home

Well, I didn't know whether to cry, scream or break something. So instead I came here to rant. Because I know you all understand.

What happens when you spoil a child with unconditional love, blind affection, total forgiveness and all the toys and presents you can afford by skimping on your medications? Well, you're all about to find out.

But first, a little history.

The family home was purchased by my mother's parents in 1950, when Mom was in junior high school. My mom moved out to get married in 1956; her brother was still in residence and my grandfather did some construction in the unfinished attic so my uncle would have a bedroom with a private entrance. My parents lived up there briefly when my grandfather died in 1964; and then when my grandmother was widowed again in 1978, my mom and dad bought the house (my grandmother naturally had lifetime tenancy; we were a 3-generation family) and the attic became my sister's and my bedroom. So there's, say, three generations of stuff stored up there--my grandmother's china, most of my mom's childhood mementos, all of mine that I couldn't take when I left for college in 1987, etc. I think you get the picture.

Well, my sister had an illegitimate son in 1984. For some obscure reason this little shit has been the apple of everyone's eye ever since, until about the last two years. I'll pass on describing the drugs, the booze, the girls, the achingly loud rap music and the New Year's Eve stabbing incident (my elderly handicapped Dad came home at midnight New Year's Eve to a police cordon and eight cop cars parked on his lawn... but I digress...)

However, the little entitlement-brained monster has outdone himself recently.

Turns out that when my mom left for vacation in January, he decided that he needed "more room" in the attic where he'd been sleeping (he and the idiot that fathered my sister's other welfare brats don't get along; and he's been living with my folks off and on most of his life). He decided his buddy Allen should be able to live up there too (rent-free, with my Dad paying for all the food... but I digress again...) so he decided to "make some space."

So he and his druggie buddies took EVERYTHING that was up in the back room of the attic, stuffed it all in garbage bags, and heaved it off the upstairs landing into the back yard.

My grandmother's china. My depression glass. My (and my mother's and uncle's) yearbooks. Clothes, books, toys, pictures--basically, anything they couldn't remanufacture into a bong. All thrown down a flight of stairs and left for four months in the rain to rot.

I found this out when DH and I drove eight hours up to my parents' home to repair the front door that my sister's insignificant other kicked down in a drunken rage. Which needed to be fixed because my Dad was coming home from the convalescent hospital on Monday and would have to be sleeping in a rental hospital bed in the living room, and therefore would need a door that at least closed, if not locked.

Lurking breeders, if you're still paying attention: NEVER spoil your child. NEVER tell your daughter she's your favorite, or "the beautiful one," because she will grow up to be a methhead and have four welfare babies and an Okie (no, really, he was born there) junkie "common-law husband" that gets drunk and kicks in your door.

Never tell your grandson that he's "wonderful" and "special" and "the best thing that ever happened to the family," and never try to compete for his affection with his mother and his other grandparents by buying him better toys, because he will grow up to be a useless scumbucket who treats his "friends" to all your food, runs up your energy bill, steals whatever his mother didn't to support his habit, throws parties in your house that the cops raid, and takes your medication--and then throws all your priceless valuables down a flight of stairs into the back yard because they're "in his way."

Because your other daughter--you know, the fat one, with glasses, that reads all the time because everyone but Mom ignores her?--will end up spending the rest of her life driving or flying home two or three times a year, and spending all her savings fixing or replacing the things that your "favorite" daughter and her family have stolen, broken, "lost" or vandalized.

Somebody, give me a time machine. Let me go back to 1963, just for about ten minutes, with a plastic bag and a rubber band, and smother my useless bitch of a sister while she's still too small to fight back. Before she wrecks my mom's car, steals (and sells) my mom's medication, spends 13 years torturing, stabbing and trying to drown and smother me, embezzles my college fund and snorts it, and at age 14 starts snorting crank and squirting out useless welfare brats with whatever drug dealer will stick it to her.

And if I can't have a time machine, then please let a sizable meteor fall on my sister's house while everyone (including all their druggie friends and most of the Okie's creepy family) are in residence, sacked out on the couches from a 72-hour bender while the children feed and dress themselves because the adults are too wasted. It should probably take out the kids too; their lives are already pretty ruined from watching everyone around them do drugs and screw around indiscriminately, and from watching their father smack the shit out of their mother on a regular basis.

There; now I've aired my laundry. I feel a little better. Thanks Turtle. I'll be on the discussion boards as soon as I catch up reading the rants from my five-day "vacation" cleaning and repairing my parents' house, since my sister (who lives a mile away from them, not 400 like I do) can't be bothered, even if her mother just had a heart attack and her father just got out of the convalescent home.

Sigh.  Thanks for listening, everyone.

Type: Garden-variety rant

At work today I had to go videotape a conference that is being held in conjunction with the University where I work. It was an "Elder Abuse" conference.

I've spent almost all day hearing stories of elderly people abused and taken advantage of by caregivers and their own children . With most of these stories, if the person was in a nursing home, mention would be made about children who were unaware that their parents being abused. Or if they were at their homes and being abused (emotionally, physically, financially) , it was by their own kids.

"But who will look after you when you get older?"
As always.... thanks for the space Turtle.

When: recently in the media
Where: Australian media
Type: Not a rant -- a rave!

in fact 2 raves today.......

Yes, there is now a CF island!!! Great Keppel Island off the coast of Queensland, Australia has long been famous as a tropical paradise, a favourite holiday destination.

One huge part of the island has now been decreed childfree (with only a tiny secluded part for the breeders). You have to be between 18 and 35 or 40 (can't remember the exact age limit) to go there, a bit like the Fairstar Funship cruises or Contiki Tours, for those who are familiar with them. It is intended to become a "party destinaton".

I don't agree with the upper age limit, but at least it's a start. Our IT administrator just reruned from a 2 week holiday there, and said it was first class. I've also seen it advertised on posters in travel agency windows recently, and it was featured in a brief news bulletin a few weeks ago.

Also, Australia's second childfree housing development has commenced construction in Queensland, and is one third sold already. Exclusive, luxurious (and unfortunately expensive). It was featured in the newspaper last weekend. If you get pregnant, you have to leave (but you can still keep your unit, you just have to rent it out to someone else)And the developer has 4 kids, yet commented that when he got older he wanted to enjoy the finer things in life and not be surrounded by kids. He also said that kids weren't for everyone, and people should be able to choose not to live around kids.

There is already a CF housing development in Melbourne too, though not on such a large scale.

The article said there was a growing demand as people retired earlier and lived longer, to have CF housing.

Apparently it is legal to have new CF developments in Qld, but the government is seeking to "close the loophole" and make it illegal to refuse people with kids, or who subsequently become preggers, from living there. Retirement homes are an exception in all states of Australia, but you have to be 55 years old to live there. These new types of developments fill that in-between age gap (and of course suit us CFs to a T!)

An addendum to the post regarding vasectomy costs in Seattle, WA, so people can get an idea of the cost of a vasectomy in the civilised world:

There is a Dr. Grey in Tampa, FL that does painless laser vasectomies (and reversals, but who needs them? ) and as of the date listed above, charges 495 $(US) for everything from the initial consultation to the follow-up visit. I don't work for Dr. Grey, but I am familiar with this pricing structure, and think that the that were specified for Seattle, WA are appalling.

So to help out the good people of Seattle, I've arranged (for information purposes only) the Vasectomy Vacation! All the rates listed are accurate through Travelocity.com as of 2002-May-7 at 2:17 PST (and no, I'm not affiliated with travelocity.com either)

For this sample, I've selected a Vasectomy Vacation for a single male for June 5-8, with Dr. Grey meeting with him on the 6th. We will allow two days' recovery time at a local hotel.

Item Cost

Continental Airlines Flight 5008 departing Seattle/Tacoma (SEA) at 10:00AM PST and arriving at Tampa International (TPA) at 20:12 EST $315.50

Continental Airlines Flight 5881 departing TPA at 15:20 PM EST and arriving SEA at 19:54 PST included above

TraveLodge Tampa near Busch Gardens for the nights of the 5th, 6th, and 7th $160.33

(after tax)

Full-Sized Mercury Gran Marquis or Similar from 20:00 EST on the 5th through 15:00 EST on the 8th through Payless $111.00

Guaranteed Painless Laser Vasectomy $495.00

Cost of a vasectomy in Seattle $2,600.00

Money To Spend Celebrating Vasectomy (left over): $1,518.17

Where: A book
Type: Garden-variety rant

Ok, for all you lurking breeduhs who think that MOTHERS ARE SO MUCH MORE MORAL THAN THE REST OF US...I have been reading a book on female serial killers (yes, Aileen Wuornos wasn't unique) and came across these interesting facts that disprove stupid moos' theories that they are far superior to us:

Martha Ann Johnson: Wanted to exact revenge on her mayun so she murdered all four of her children, two of which were his own.

Catherine Birnie: Mother of six, helped her husband David sexually abuse and murder four young women.

Judith Neelley: Mother of three by the time she was 18, who along with her husband kidnapped, sexually assaulted and beat a teenage girl whilst her small children were in the room. Later tortured then shot the girl. Also sexually assaulted and murdered a retarded woman.

Charlene Gallego: Mother of one, procured young women for her husband to rape and murder, took part in sexually assaulting them herself - even whilst pregnant. She and her husband murdered ten people.

Rosemary West: Mother of about eight, helped her husband Fred sexually assault, torture and kill more than ten young women - including her own stepdaughters. Viciously beat her own children.

Carol Bundy: Mother of two, with her male boyfriends, involved in the assaults and murders of at least six young women, including molesting her 11 year old neighbour.

See a pattern here, moos? Your pathetic attempts to present yourself as more mature, more law-abiding, and less selfish because you've squirted out a loaf or two just don't cut the mustard. And see how many of these women actually abused children in their own care?

CF in NZ


When: May 12-15
Where: Alternative fuels conference
Type: Garden-variety rant

Feh! Not even a conference about alternative fuels is safe from child worship.

If there was a drinking game for breederisms, I would have been sloshing drunk after day one from all the times I had to hear about how "the children are the future," blah, blah, blah! Part of conference involved a science fair for da future. While I don't object to trying to get kids interested in science, most of it was groups upon groups kids running, screaming all over the place (and grabbing stuff from booths that they will eventually send to a landfill) while I'm trying to make contacts with potential clients or trying to hear what the speakers have to say about oil imports ties to national security and what infrastructure barriers have to be overcome to make the use of alternative fuels widespread.

Also, we were treated to remarks by Bill Nye "The Science Guy" who went on and on about how our generation will not solve the fuel problems, but it is up to the next generation. Yea, that's right folks, today's scientists are a bunch of freaking idiots and we just need to sit around until this generation, which seems to be the brightest bunch of folks ever to be born, solves every problem there is.

We also had to watch a video of these wonderful kids starting to solve tomorrows problems. Oh, all of them they interviewed were very concerned about the environment and they were so changed by their experience with the project that they are ready to take on the world.

Just for the record, I recognize that it is important that we reach out to the next generation and get them concerned about the world around them so that they will want to make a change. However, after volunteering for some time with an environmental group, I recognize that most of these kids' interest in the environment is passing unless the message is consistently driven home to them, which includes their parents making changes to support environmental goals. Most of the parents I've dealt with seem to think that if they expose their kids to a few environmental fairs and put "I'm doing my bit for the environment" bumper sticker on their SUVs, then their job is done.

Also, here's my theory on kids concern for the environment. It's a lot like those parents who go on about how bright their kids are; if their kids so much as do a project at school, that's enough to convince the parents that their kids are "so concerned about saving the environment."

... end message, start turtle's comments
Actually, near as I can tell, the surest way to ensure that children DON'T grow up to solve ANY of the world's problems is for them to grow up and... breed. In fact, not only will they not solve any of the world's problems, they usually add to them. Seems like just last week on the Bratpage Discussion Board, we were talking about people who are fervently supportive of whatever cause until they "grow up and realize that BEING A PARENT is far, far more important" than saving the whales, stopping nuclear proliferation, ending racism, or preventing forest fires.

Strange, isn't it, how as soon as they breed, people start talking about how "the next generation" will solve all these problems, and conveniently forget that THEY are "the next generation" that THEIR parents expected to solve all the world's problems.

I guess it's up to us CFers to pick up the slack as usual.

Posters to this space have often ranted about breeders abandoning animals. You should know, if you come across an abandoned animal, that: (1) there are no-kill shelters that will take the animal; (2) if you are allergic to animal dander, and want to keep the animal, there are washcloths, available at Pet Express and most other pet stores, as well as at Drs. Foster & Smith (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/) that remove most pet dander, and a HEPA filter should take care of the rest; (3) to find a no-kill shelter, please contact Best Friends at (http://www.bestfriends.org/). Thanks, all.
