    I’m permanent guardian to my niece. Asswipe says I’m not invested in the future because I didn’t birth her.

      I don’t have children. I don’t plan to have children. I don’t think any of my partners did or do either. People can be invested in the future because they don’t want future generations to suffer. If you need to have younger dependents for that, it mostly makes me think you have a rather narrow world view.

        These are the same people whose only reason for not murdering people is the belief that they will be tortured for eternity if they do.

          My reason for not murdering someone is the cops, also retribution and all that fun stuff. But seriously I would kill my father if it wasnt for the legal system.

      Well in the eyes of the GOP you could just tear up the paperwork and walk away at any time, so clearly it doesn’t count.
