I wrote something lengthy about "parenthood", but it got away from me.
Then I was going to ask a question about sexuality, but I remembered that this is the internet.
The basic gist of the thing was a) I wish I'd knocked up somebody in my early 20s like all my Icelandic friends, b) don't you agree that the only reason money exists is so that old men have something to do?

Upon reading this, I realized that once you become a rich, old entrepreneur, no matter how much of your fortune you give the people, it's still gonna come back to you; this would be much more entertaining than hiding it all in a bank. Wouldn't the only way to beat them at their own game be joining the healthcare research and development field? ;/ |

No children, no. Don't really want kids. But hanging out with Scandinavians, who pretty consistently have kids at an early age, kids who are well adjusted, raised in separate houses, and it's a nice change from the scare-mongering "pregnancy will ruin your life" messages that North Americans tell to young adults.

I love kids, though, I have nieces and Patrick has godchildren. All my friends in Toronto are starting to breed and their kids are beautiful and it makes me happy.

I was watching some video regarding Iceland (research for a trip soon!) and it mentioned how parents let their kids wander around at such an early age because crime rates are so low. Is it really like that? It does seem so much more relaxed. I feel like it'd be a good place to have a family.
So two things: I'm enjoying these updates and have you got any Iceland-related travel tips?

My only problem with kids is that they grow up. I just wanted my kids to be 7 years old the rest of their lives.. just like their dad. Love 'em to bits. |

At some point in each of our lives, we just have to come to terms with the fact that Scandinavians do everything better. That's just how it is. You have your teen angst, your mid-twenties ennui, your mid-life crisis, and your Scandinenvy. It can strike at any time, but strike it most certainly will. It's worse when it happens in the company of Scandinavians, who just take it all for granted because that's how the world is supposed to be. |

As a child of Scandinavia, Sweden to be more exact, I guess I'm blessed. I dunno, Sweden maybe is great but you get still beat at the age of seven if your a boy who happens to like a boy by your fellow class mates. But yea, maybe it's better here, still, it isn't fantastic, and more importantly it's degrading.
Regarding money, it is for the rich men, and desperate poor students who are so freaking proud when they convince that they're under 19 to get in free at museums. That "income" of 12$ makes you (or in this case me) feel important.
