[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that "Why go to college if you aren't going to use your degree?" is the compliment to "Why have children if you aren't going to raise them?"

+100000. Perfectly put.[/quote]

+100001.  Love that!

Can someone just be responsible for reposting this every time one of these wars comes up?[/quote]

OMG those things are not equivalent.  A little dig about not using your degree, I will grant you, is a stupid and insensitive thing to say.  However, it is not equal to saying someone doesn't care about their children, which is exactly what the other one is saying, and the latter is a downright cruel thing to say.  If you can't see the difference, your ego is talking.[/quote]

They are equivalent. Just one offends you personally and one doesn't.  Think of others besides yourself.  [/quote]

Love how PP coins it "a little dig"  Saying that a SAHM has wasted her education, intellect and contribution to society.  Sure, that is just "a little dig."  Come on, be honest with yourself and own your choices. [/quote]

What is worse is subjective. You act like you are the sole authority on what hurts the heart and soul. Instead of telling others to downsize their ego so as not to be hurt by your insults, why not take your own advice and downsize your insecurities and defensiveness? You know you love your kid, so your heart and soul should be intact.

One hurts your ego.  The other hurts your heart and soul.  So, yeah, the latter is worse.  Be honest with *yourself* and maybe downsize the ego.  [/quote][/quote]

I've never said these stupid insults to a SAHM, as I told the other PP.  This isn't me defending something I've said.  Both insults are equally stupid but one is more hurtful and you know it.[/quote]
