Dunno what's going on with the funky red glasses but I guess it's not important. :D

Cutie pies! :D
Elton called - he wants his glasses back. :cool:

I'll tell you what's going on with the funky glasses.... they look cool! Cutie pies, each of them.

I think Keith is practicing for the dancedate he will have with Andrea in 30 years. Looking good, man! :cool:

Interestingly enough they're scheduled to have another one the day after my birthday.

Being a "zero population growth" kind of guy I naturally have mixed feelings about this (and the other 4 grandkids of mine). :confused: Being an only child myself I can't (nor would I) take anybody to task for bringing two children into this world as long as they are wanted and the parents have the ability to take care of them. After two..... well..... I dunno.

One of my boys has learned to keep his pants zipped after two children. The other one apparently didn't learn that.

Paul, sometimes I wonder why people want to have children at all. But that's me. I have never wanted them. There were some people around me that got very worried about that.

"But what is your purpose if it's not to bring up children?"
No, I never understood that one either.

"How selfish of you!"
That one I don't even answer.

"But what if you will be all alone when you are old?"
As if children are a guarantee against lonelyness and a lack of care.

"But what if you change your mind and you'll be too old to have them?"
Well, I think there are a lot of children without good parents. So why make a new one instead of matching up two existing indivividuals who need eachother and might be very happy together?

Yes, I am very much in favour of no more children. At least not too much more children on this earth. But then again, Paul, there are people who want children very much. Who are prepared to go through all kind of painfull and nervwrecking procedures to have them. And I am not even talking about the (in my eyes) horrors of pregnancy and giving birth *shudder* And the stress of raising them :eek: I guess your son is someone who wants a big family :)

I think what it -really- is, is that he takes after his old man (even though his "old man" is not his natural father). He's a "horn dog" and he likes to get his wick wet as often as possible. :rolleyes: Unfortunately he didn't learn one of the most important things I stressed to him again and again and again, and that is that the condom is one of the best gifts to mankind that ever existed,..... for MANY reasons.

Pah! So am I. And I don't have children. Although not a 100% certain, condoms are wonderful things. Such a pity hat he allows his nice sexual experiences lead to more children if he doesn't seriously want them. What is he doing to the mother(s) of the children and himself? :eek: It's such a big responsibility... Does he really take it that lightly?

I couldn't have said that better myself, Eva.

There are plenty of children already on this earth who are in need of love and a home, and plenty of parents (as we have seen again and again) who ought not to have had their own. Parenting Licenses now!

[paularoid]

Here are two common complaints:

1 - I can't feel anything. (often stated by both parties involved)
2 - The man doesn't last long enough.

Condoms restrict physical sensitivity and therefore both parties have to work harder and longer to achieve their ultimate goal(?). Cleanup afterwards is a lot less to have to deal with also.

Condoms are over 90% effective in the prevention of unwanted pregnancies.
Condoms prevent disease.
Condoms prevent DEATH! (see previous)
Condoms can "enhance" the experience when used correctly.

Gimme a "love-glove" and I'm good to go.

And Dee, the fact that "there are plenty of children already on this earth who are in need of love and a home" as you state is exactly why my two boys are even around to have children of their own in the first place. That's what I did with them and I would have hoped that maybe some of that reasoning would have been absorbed by my bringing up of them. I've stated it often enough. Oh well,.... since when have kids ever really listened to their parents? :p

[Eva]

Bollocks! (pun intended) :D

Yes, condoms (and any other safe sex item) asks for some adaptation. So what? It's not that hard (pun not intended :rolleyes: ) and really doesn't take away anything from the pleasure.

What was the goal again? I would say a good time together... But who am I? Oh yes, the 'horndog' who thinks that safety always comes first.

All agreed upon most wholeheartedly. :D Again though, when have kids ever really listened to their parents,... especially when it comes to sex? :p
