    Procreation and Existence

    Procreation is the only real reason for existance, the rest are just illusions.
    How very sad if you think that your life is only worth that.
    Spelling properly is important too ("existence" not "existance")

      When I was younger, my dad used to get a free upgrade on most flights as a frequent flyer.

      So he'd go and sit in business class, leaving my mum and the three of us (9, 14, 16) in economy.

          Why do silvery salmon leap
          and turtles rise from the deep?
          Why do delightful daffodils flower
          and rutting stags not fear or cower

          I’ll tell you why my unknowing friend,
          why all this effort has but only one end.
          It’s the ruthless, selfish, cunning gene,
          right down to the last Pythagorean bean.

            i used to feel that way until i went through the experience with my own kids - now it doesn't bother me at all. in fact if i'm sitting near i'll offer to assist. being less selfish will immediately lessen the irritation.

              It's hardly selfish on the part of the person being irritated by a screaming kid. At least in a restaurant you can move or leave the premises, try leaving a plane and everyone starts screaming.

                    Preferable to the slightly tipsy middle age business woman in the window seat who insists on holding a conversation with her mate across the aisle and putting her hand on my knee.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
