...is it acceptable to say that you are not a baby/children person, but not to say that you are not a dog/pet/animal person?
And why is it nearly uncool to have children? What's with this unmentioned, unspoken of idea that if you are educated, successful and intelligent, you will, almost by default, choose not to have a baby? Why is a heartwarming welcome extended to a dog when it enters the train but a silent, disapproving turn of the head for a baby? Why do people pretend that they can't see a ready-to-pop pregnant lady standing before them - are we seriously lacking even the basic semblance of compassion towards fellow humans?
How ironic, that the proponents of liberty, of choice, are often the ones who snub others' right to choose their own path. Sometimes, all that is needed is to focus on minding one's own business and quit making value judgements about others, their lives and their decisions.

1. Thats because dogs are not noisy on the train and babies are.
2. Thats because having a dog is a responsibility taken very seriously but having a baby is considered a drain on the world's resources.
3. Thats because it is cool to have a dog or a cat but uncool to have a baby.
4. Thats because the world is increasingly becoming stupid.
5. Thats because the intellectual elite think they are intelligent but, in fact, are not.
6. Thats because unless you are a parent, you will never know what it is to be one.
7. Thats because the human race has put "dumb" in the word "wisdom" and still got the spelling wrong.
