humans do a lot of shit that doesnt make sense. we are all in control of what we choose to do with the hand we are dealt though (well except the loonies) so i have a lot of trouble feeling much pity for someone with a seasonal job who has 4 kids to feed, especially if they are adding to that brood when they know they cant afford it.
or actually i should say i dont have a problem with that- i would only have a problem if they made a big fuss out of it. people who bellyache on campbell live about how they should be able to get by with their 6 kids on a shitty income are the ones who annoy me.
and yes, its natural to want kids, blah blah blah. so? people quell urges to do shit all the time. just today i had to quell the urge to reverse into some stupid woman who stopped to chat on her phone -while- standing behind my parking spot. instead i yelled at her.
