Things aren't as black-and-white, Mr. J. Yes, there are selfish parents out there: they're the parents who have their kids around and never teach them how to behave or teach them anything because they don't think about how they shape their kids or how their kids' behavior will affect other people. But there are also many parents who do care about their kids and genuinely want to teach them and love them.

Also, I have volunteered at an old folks' home, and relatives did visit them. I was only there once a week, so I couldn't see everything, but I saw enough to refute your statement that old folks' home =/= uncaring kids. Keeping elderly parents in their home can become unsafe or impractical, especially if they need frequent medical care. And though some grown children don't have the space or money to house the parent(s), but still care about them. In fact, my grandparents just moved into an assisted living facility, and 7 of their 13 children visit them regularly and take turns bringing them dinner on Sunday nights. Only 7 can do it because the other 6 live out of town, and sending Sunday dinner by UPS might not be sanitary.

It's not selfish to be childfree, but some people might call them that because they choose to care for themselves but don't contribute to the next generation. This is not selfish, however, because those people may have recognized that they do not have the disposition to be an effective parent. It's not so much about selfishness as it is about what's best for everyone's well-being---the person, their SO/spouse (if applicable), and any potential children.

So it's kind of sad, Mr. J, that you still believe that deep down, we're all as ugly as you. And it makes me wonder what happened to you to make you that way.

...was I supposed to read this in Harley Quinn's voice?

Maybe...they're pretending to be a pop psychologist like Harleen Quinzel? Uh...that's the best I got.

No, I just had to imagine this OP being someone, and the Joker was the first person who came to mind because he's the only person/character I can think of who's worldview is that genuinely ugly.

Should I be flattered that you two wanted to read in Harley Quinn's voice?

DA

I think it's just unusual and a little disturbing that you assigned the AYRT a fictional personality. So several people were confused.

Uh, I just thought it would be clever. I mean, that's what they sounded like to me. Also, what on earth is AYRT?

new anon answering: it's "Anon You Responded To".
