If people are dumb enough to have kids they're dumb enough to drag them everywhere and bother the rest of the populace with them. So while I agree with you, I must inform you that closing a non-twitter letter with a hashtag is fucking embarrassing.

Who would EVER expect to become EVEN MOMENTARILY annoyed at a POST OFFICE??!?

"Sheer psychological torture". Really? Are you in counseling for this condition?

Instead of water boarding at Guantanamo, terrorists are broken by taking them to a post office filled with screaming children.

It's interesting that in certain Portland forums it is acceptable to voice extreme hatred of children, but it would be totally unacceptable to voice hatred of almost any other group. Would someone come here and write an I,A about hating black people, gays, or immigrants? How would that be received here?

Long story short, I,A. Despite your juvenial militancy on this matter, this personality you are currently trying on will eventually fade away and you may well end up having kids yourself. At that point you will understand within a day of bringing the child home why you don't hire a babysitter to do things like go to the post office.

Everyone is "selfishly depleting Mother Earth of resources." Biological organisms use resources to stay alive. You think that growing dreadlocks and recycling once a week is "erasing your global footprint"?

I really want this I,A's mom to come on here and tell us what an annoying little shit s/he was as a child.

If you're so worried about one more person using up the resources of the Earth, there is an obvious solution: You could kill yourself. Frankly, until you've at least tried that, I question your commitment to the idea that having children is bad for the Earth. To be clear, I don't recommend killing yourself, I just think you've got an unjustifiable double-standard there.

Also, you really need to toughen up a bit. If a crying baby can upset you this much, I cannot imagine how you manage to make it through a whole day. My advice: Try caring less (about almost everything). You'll be amazed at how much nicer life is when you aren't bothered by it all the time.

infantile post, IA... you're crying like a fucking baby in this post-- far worse than a child in a post office.

And torgo's right- you are, by pure bulk and mass, a much greater shit factory than any child. Your disappearance would, in theory, be a godsend to "Mother Earth".

But stick around. Just know you'll be ignored for most of your adult life, because your complaints are trivial, and "ideology" paradoxical and half-baked. And I stay this from the standpoint of someone who loves Portland!!

I am so fucking mad that I missed seeing Kim Deal at the post office. I bet her kid is adorable.

WANT YOU! COO COO! KILL YOURSELF YOU FUCKING SANCTIMONIOUS DICKBAG! *chck-a-chck-a-chck-a-chck-a-chck-a-*

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! I'm lovin' it!

Methinks there are more productive ways to deal with your impotence than bitching about kids. Try putting your dick in a warm bowl of oatmeal and electricuting yourself.

"Your a fucking dick."


Yeah, and YOU'RE fucking illiterate. So what?

Funny how you think IA (who's super awesome, btfw) has a car. That's funny that you would think that. You're funny.

I am hoping this Anonymous is not real because how would anyone refer to a child as "it" and suggest leaving them in the car unattended. If this person is so distressed by going to the post office, which is becoming obsolete, maybe it's time to smoke some weed and chill out. This person sounds elitist, and racist. I don't know who you are but I guess it is good there is forum/outlet on this page so you don't just go beat the f#$k out of people you can't deal with. Good luck if you for some reason end up having a kid. Karma is a bitch.

What makes you think this person is "racist" when race was not at all addressed nor eluded to? Reaching?

Kimmy, I'm guessing that you're relatively new around here. This particular "anonymous" person is DamosA, who identified himself as such in the comment immediately preceding yours. Now, there are a lot of very unflattering things that you can fairly say about him, but I don't think he's a racist or an elitist. Even after reading a lot of his posts, I still don't know what, if anything, he thinks about races other than his own. And if anything, he is angrily anti-elite (which, for the record, I think is just as pointless as being "elitist").

The lesson here is that you've got to read the other comments before leaving one of your own. Also, don't call people racists unless they've at least mentioned race. That just seems like common sense.

and damosa: 'elude' and 'allude' aren't quite the same thing, dude.

Yeah, NOW who's illiterate?

Actually, 'elude' is EXACTLY the proper word to use for the proper context given. So you'll have to do better than that. Nice try, though.

And Torgo (doubtful that's your real name), i don't know what exactly YOU'RE attempting to get at, but i "identified" myself to nothing. You can assume all you want, but if you've got something to say then why don't you grow a pair and ask me to mah face?

Mr. Brooks, if you would like to have a face to face, I think that would be very interesting. Just tell me where your face will be, and I would be happy to address it directly.

HiT; your really not one to be lecturing anyone about spelling.

Torgo acting like an internet tough guy is hilarious! Ahhhh!
LAWL!

Eluded: To escape the understanding, perception, or appreciation of.

Nope. Wrong. Doesn't remotely apply to the original I, A as you've attempted to use it. Not even with an intentional misinterpretation of the "context".

Alluded: To contain a casual or indirect reference.

THAT'S the one you were grasping for!

No shame in admitting you were wrong. "Nice try, though."

You know i've long since moved on, but here YOU are all hung up on the precise usage of a simple word. Some people might call this 'desperate'.

And i'm still right, btw.

Long since moved on, eh?

Obviously, the grasp of the English language has....eluded you.

I have to spare alittle slice of time for my loyal fans every once in awhile, don't i? What would you people do without ME?
