Children

Yes, the answer to your question is 'yes', I do hate children.

There are so many things I hate about them I could never think them all to fill the space below in this post of a blog. However, I shall attempt to name some, given my encounter with many such specimens, the last whom, today, took my seat in the train and had me standing for over 10 minutes. But enough about me.

Children are annoying little pests that for some obscure reason everyone thinks they're cute. Well, they're not. They're too common to be cute. And even if there are objects that exclude themselves from my observations (see flowers), at least flowers smell lovely and they don't wipe out my senses with pointless screaming, bruises and abhorring fluids that spill out of them as if it were the waste of NYC. Plants could do that if I'd be in a fantasy tropical world. I'm not.

Children are permitted anything, drawing from the fact that they're considered so cute. Of course, if their behaviourism is found in adults we would most likely call them psychotic criminals soaked in delusions of grandeur and absolute egotism. Because any child will damage animate and inanimate objects, will consider himself the center of the world and at all times, they will always consider only their needs and them being met. A bit exclusive for a societal civilization.

Everyone thinks having babies is a miracle and the most wondrous thing. Well, it's not. Moreover, it's closer to being the most common thing any two people can do either than eating, sleeping, talking and having sex. It also does not require a certain amount of intelligence to do it either. Everyone thinks they're good parents and well, they're not. A biological state is not the same as a psychological state. Being able to make babies doesn't necessarily mean you'll ever be an adequate parent. It's the same as considering that if dolphins have a biological organ named lung, they're quite well adapted to living as land mammals. Guess again. Bad parenting is common enough to ward enough sociopaths and violent criminals when they turn to adulthood.

Not forgetting babies, they're also not cute and adorable. They're organisms that mostly resemble some parasites and whose sole function is to shit, eat and sleep. Not very entertaining. Not very miraculous. Just the circle of life. Get over it.

Children also have a speech problem. When they speak, they do it poorly more often than not and they're indulged by their parents and everyone around them to continue acting stupidly. Thus, being given such a liberty without a constant correction leads to severe speech impediments (and I'm not talking physical, I'm talking dumb-ass animals). When children speak like this, it's considered cute. When grown-ups can barely talk literate and read it's sad. It should be sad from the first word for we are bringing up these nuisances into the people of tomorrow. Pardon, the illiterates of today. I'd solve the problem conditioning them like Pavlov with his dog. If the child does not pronounce my name or the object of his desire rightly then I shall ignore him till he'll condition himself to do it. It's survival 101.

One of my earliest ideas about children was that they should be state-raised or something so that at least they'll grow up, well, brainwashed. Reconsidering, it thought it rather cruel and pointless from a sociological and psychological standpoint, since children need their parents. Facing such a dilemma I could only suggest making most public places of adult interest only (and I mean office-buildings, postal offices, banks and whatnot) bar the presence of children.

Of course, I cannot forget the parents that enable their children to act in every possible manner, as an expression of their early years and time of experimentation. For this purpose, they defend his actions to death. However, it is interesting to note how they will sue about everything that the child will eventually hurt himself with. Since most children cannot read, you cannot say that they should've read the sign where it said "Caution. Closing door hurts if you put your hand in it while operating." Naturally, this is just the parents' way of avoiding any responsability they claim they inherrently have over the child while at the same time robbing him of his experimentation's results. For how should we know fire burns if we do not put our hand through it? Some people are just disturbed...

And why do they have to be dressed like fantasy idiots? Does Dostoyevsky need inspiration for miniatural figures trying to copy on their parents' ludicrous hidden needs?

Another problem with the speech and behaviour of children is that I'm expected by the community to lower myself to their standards and accept offense and brutalization, both physical and intellectual, as something normal. This can be easily avoided considering two aspects of the matter: firstly, I should not have to lower myself to speaking and trying painfully to understand what they're saying, because I'm not thinking about the prospect of joining the mentally challenged of small age society, rather they should be striving to speak correctly since they will eventually join our society that does not abide by such notions of cuteness. Seeing an adult speaking like a child and you're first thought is asylum. Secondly, children have short-term memory and my punishment of their actions would either act conditionally, as discussed above or repress subconsciously for years to come. The second probability is not entirely faulty since it will enable them to stave off sick people such as myself that would treat them wrongly and/or ignore them to a pathological stance. Eventually, it will lead to a more psychological-disease free environment for the future adults.

In conclusion, I found out that I do not hate children, just everything they represent and manage to do without being blamed. For this is our goal in life, to be egotistical and irresponsible. As for the children as ideas, I like them. We need to procreate from time to time, don't we?
