Thoughts for prospective parents

Don’t treat parenthood as if it were a ‘THING’.
Being a parent is a natural evolving human process throughout a normal life span.
Without people with intelligence who are willing to be parents, we will continue to have plenty of children bred by those who are less able, and few or none, by those who are more able.
For the survival of our mammal species we need girls and boys in equal numbers. Tinker with that quotient at the risk of everyone.
Children are people who will remember often in great detail EVERYTHING YOU DO. They are not pets, nor are they property or inconvenient baggage. Treat children like this at your peril.
Your children need to know what their basic needs are: Water, food, shelter, warmth/cooling, companionship.
If you don’t teach your children practical skills, you are letting them down. They need to know how to use tools to make things, get food, re-use things, adapt things to the use they want it for.
Your kids need to be able to grow food, prepare food from raw, cook food and preserve food. How to live without electricity, how to get about without transport, how to identify what will kill them. How to make things, invent solutions to problems, thrive even under stress.
In my experience all children under the age of 10 are keen participants in all these things.
Teach your teens that their bodies want to reproduce, first and foremost. Any emotions, urges, must-dos are often associated with this urge to make pregnant, and get pregnant.
Teach your kids martial arts and self defense. How to defend yourself is a key part of living among other humans, who are the most dangerous animals on the planet.

(Family members are often guilty of this, it's not always strangers) Abusing animals. Discharging toxic waste anywhere. (PCBs are now found in tiny creatures living in the deepest depths of the ocean) the GE designers and builders of Fukashima power plant are on this list: you know who you are. Operating drones in order to kill people. Acting as if your actions have no effect on others or the welfare of the planet. Sit

Why do sober guys try to seduce drunk girls?

This is a big reason I no longer get drunk at parties, because drunk girls ARE an easy rape/sex target. These guys don’t have the social skills to persuade sober chicks to lay them, so they target drunk girls as a better opportunity. From the news I've read and discussions I have been a part of there’s quite a lot of men hanging out at any party any part of the world these days checking to see when some chick falls asleep or collapses comatose from drugs or alcohol and they have this idea that drunk girls have no memory of what is happening to them. These men are lazy and socially inept. They also want power over women. "I grew up in a little town in Oxfordshire. I was part of a rebellious crowd. We did drugs and weren't very serious about school. I had lots of relationships, but I wouldn’t describe any of them as romantic. I was looking for one thing: sex. That’s what my life was about when I was that age, chasing girls. I became very preoccupied with pornog
