You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities...

Kind of, yeah. I don't want to say it's because I've been blasting music with headphones since I was 12 years old, but it could be. But often times I can't hear people properly. this ^^ i don't like to think about it, but my hearing has become a little more crap over the years. i notice i have to turn the tv up louder and have a harder time hearing people, especially if they are talking quieter. i'm pretty sure its a headphones thing. ever since i got my first cd player i have had headphones glued to my head. as a kid i always listened to my music with headphones, because it took away the possibility of my mom giving me crap for what i was listening to because she wouldn't be able to hear it. now i will be deaf when i'm old for it and damn you ipod as well. i've also been noticing lately that my hearing has been weirder, but i think its the extreme heat we've been having. its messing my head up. sometimes i do think about this though. when i'm old i might not be able to hear music, because of my blasting it for years in my youth. its depressing.  Don't worry, technology will be good enough by then to give us better hearing aids, besides we'll reach that age when we think all new music sucks and we'll just listen to 90s alternative rock (by then labeled as "classic alternative rock") constantly. And we'll be singing along in our heads since we've memorized everything, so we'll be fine.  I really hope that in the near future technology will produce better hearing aids, but also that medicine will discover a cure for the neurosensorial damage in hearing (stem cells for example). It seems strange that we can cure many cancers and not the hearing problems (as if it was not a major problem). |

I can't stand the sight/ sound/ or smell of kids either. I always find it kind of vile. I always feel panicky if one runs at me at work or is circling a room I'm in. I have no repore with them and its rare that I find one cute at a distance. Haha, I guess this forum won't be making any new pumpkin fans anytime soon. It all stops here.
My mom always tells me "but you were a kid once" when I say I don't like kids to put the shame on. I just tell her I know and don't care. And yes, we remember your ACDC loving grandpa KJ. Haha |

Same here.
I can't do anything with them. A close friend of mine has two younger children and whenever I visit them and the kids are still wake, I'm getting anxious soon due to the fact that I don't know how to cummunicate with children and what to do with them when they're here. It doesn't help either that his daughter is somehow afraid of me . |

Yeah, they might as well be an alien species to me. And I think they are scared because they sense the dark gothness.

lolz at kids being afraid the pumpkins board members
I don't know how to communicate with kids either, especially little ones. I don't know whether to stoop down to their level or talk to them like an adult, but either way I feel like I'm patronizing them. I do have a soft spot for these two kids I used to tutor though, they were 5 and 6 year old brothers. I had to teach them to read since their parents couldn't speak english, and the 5 year old hated this one kid's book because he would go yuck at a picture of a girl in it. So I would tease him and change the words as I read, and call the girl his girlfriend |

Having children might be the most narcistic thing of them all. You know I always thought about adopting children if I ever wanted to have any. My parent's home country it's really difficult and near impossible to adopt, but there are ways around it (read: $$$). I figured if I ever wanted to have children, I could do that. Hell, I could provide more for the kid than the deadbeat parents who leave their kids on the street to beg. If I ever become a billionaire I'll get us all top notch hearing aids so we can listen to the latest songs and go, "This asshole thinks he's the new Billy Corgan. I remember when I saw the Pumpkins back in my day...". |

Personally, I would feel like buying a new dog when I adopted children.
Having own children is like expanding the lasting of your ego and adopting is like buying some animals. And that said, I don't like pets either (except tarantulas). |

Excuse my memory, us old people forget stuff! @blue: I can't imagine many little kids joining this forum unless SP comes out with some sort of mega hit that reaches the airwaves everywhere. That would be kinda scary now that I think about it. I got incredibly well at dealing with kids when I started working as a ride operator. Still, I'll avoid them whenever I can as long as I'm not working. Kids these days are spoiled little brats and that doesn't help anything. |
