SLAM Quiz: Who shall raise the Child?
OK, here's a hypothetical SLAM question:
At the nursery, there's a recently born baby who
was dropped off at the hospital one night by the mother,
nobody knows who the parents are, so the baby's
been put up for adoption.
As luck would have it, SDN members fill out the list
of prospective adoptees.
Who makes the cut? Who would be the best parent
to the kid? How would the kid turn out?
Your Options:
1.) Mark "Barking Mad" Sheppard
2.) Michael "Darth" Wong
3.) Damien "Durandal" Sorriesso
4.) Kelly Antilles
5.) Stormbringer
6.) Einhander Snowman
7.) Other (please Specify)
And for those who wonder why I'm choice #1, it's:
A.) A subtle ploy to increase votes for me
B.) Because I wrote this damn post, that's why!

This is an easy choice. Mike. He has a family and knows what to do. Furthermore he has the right frame of mind. None of the indoctrination or brainwashing bullshit. Mike even took his kids to a church service or sunday school class just to give them a broader grounding on reality. He seems like a fairly well rounded individual who prizes free thought and independence. I can see any kid he raises to come out quite well in the end.

There are no people standing up to say Mike's a bad parent, and he's got the kids to prove it, plus he's financially responsible, so he'd win by default. Although, Kelly would likely be in the lead running as well.
Frankly, I'd nominate myself just as quickly; I'm in the same professional boat as Mike, but I haven't had kids yet (although it's just around the corner).

Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.

So I don't get listed even though I'm a teacher and a caring person, eh? That's fine, that's fine... I see how it is.

You can be my Sugar Momma, Zaia.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

I don't fight with you on the boards every day, so you tend to fade into

Don't listen to him, Zaia, I think of you all the time. It's why there is no whipped cream to be found in my house and I have to deal with these hideous rug burns, but, ohhh, gawd, it's all worth it.

Sheppard, just to put to the test some of my theories on how berserk a person you can get at the mentioning of various phrases. "Now class, gun control is a very controversial issue."
