"Aw they're beautiful"

[tinhuvielartanis]

A reporter just said that, referring to all the babies being born in New Orleans. What the fuck? All babies look the same: like little mushed up hideous wieners. No baby is beautiful. It was just squeezed out of a very stinky small space into a big frightening world that instantly makes it cry. It's a miserable little lump of ugly.

And everyone seemed so happy that there's a baby boom in NO. Oh yeah, that's exactly what we need: more humans. The more humans there are mucking up the place, the more natural disasters there will be in a (futile, I sometimes think) attempt at restoring some sort of natural balance to the world.

So, no, they're not beautiful. They're an assembly line of fugly parasites that will only make things worse in the long run.

They're not being born as a sign of HOPE!! They're being born because the power went out!! There are always birth spikes after power outages! They're conceived because their parents got booooored!

*flails*

despite my current knocked-uppedness I must say that I agree. Newborns ESPECIALLY are not cute. My husband says that they all look like Winston Churchill. Somebody needs to explain to humanity that the only reason they feel that rush of squishiness when looking at babies is because of a nasty little chemical called oxitocin. I can't say I don't feel mushy when looking at babies right now ... but I mean, come on, I'm 5.5 months pregnant. And no matter HOW pregnant I get I can't imagine thinking of baby boom as a good thing. You are totally right about humanity.

I'm a big fan of babies, but only when they're brought in the world by responsible individuals who have the emotional/spiritual/economic resources to care for a child properly>

If that makes me a hater, then *shrug* let me be guilty.

Newborns scare me. I refused to hold my niece for more than about 30 seconds until she was capable of holding her own head up!

They start out red, wrinkled and goopy, then go all floppy and poo and puke everywhere. Then they get noisy, expensive and later stroppy, then they make spawn of their own.

Then they go all floppy and poo and puke everywhere again, and just before death they are red, wrinkled and goopy again.

I think the only cute newborn I've seen in a while is mine, and well, he's mine, so it's not like I'm biased or anything :P There are some fuuuuuuuuuuuugly babies out there.

It seems like the situation in that geographical area is still a little unstable to be bringing babies into the picture.
