It’s my belief everyone should be sterilized at birth. Well, not irreversible sterilization, so the medical community would have to work on this but sterilized nonetheless. When you decide you want children you’d need to actually say, “ I want a child, please make this possible” before you could. I wouldn’t go as far as saying, tests or any other considerations come into the process, just simply that you actually want one. Population under control sorted and only people who want to be parents are.
On my way to an appointment yesterday I saw this girl with her child. The kid was probably about 5 maybe 6. He looked tired and was dragging a heavy backpack, while his mother walked a few feet ahead smoking and chatting with her friend. The street was rather busy (I was stuck walking behind them) and he was saying, “Mom, I’m really thirsty, can I have a drink?” The response was a screaming, “ I’m not buying you a feckin drink!” I mean the poor kid looked as if he was going to pass out. After a few more attempts the mother finally pointed to a pub and said, “go in and ask for water if you’re feckin thirsty.” Okay, I know I’m not a parent and parents can get very frustrated dealing with a child all day and all but come on.
Last week I came out of the cinema and was walking down Parnell Street. A group of boys (ages 5 to maybe 8) crossed the street (not at a crosswalk) and almost got hit by a taxi. No parents around and they were all taking swigs of cola out of the bottles as if it was a beer. The smallest of the bunch gave the cabbie a hand gesture and shouted, “Ya feckin’ cunt, ya!” after he beeped at them. The kid could not have been more than 5 years of age, ffs. Heartbreaking.
My second legislation would be all people need a license to carry an umbrella. One should have to take umbrella 101 before they can walk down the street with one. I nearly lose an eye every time it rains.
Lastly, on days like today where I have ‘down time’ at work because I am waiting for my colleagues to finish their part before I can start mine… I should be banned from sites like thumped. I will post entirely too much and annoy the hell out of people.
