I explained what I mean by the comment, and don't think saying it was amiss. You can't read the "not political" part and skip my explanation.

Ah, a smart-ass comment to end your civil(ish) rebuttals. Fair enough. Hopefully all that energy you've spent hoping for negative outcomes will pay off in life.

First of all: I wasn't making a political statement.

"And yes, it is up to the backers how they want to spend their money and deem value"

Of course sacrifice is a necessary part of parenting; good parenting, at least. But again, this isn't a normal situation. This is their livelihood, not some pet dream they've been chasing to no...

Children are obviously not in your present or near future. Which is fine, of course. It just explains your lack of empathy. Before you throw around "lazy and irresponsible" for the third time, allow...
