Thank you for
not procreating
what is worse is parents are allowed to raise their
children however they see fît
Parents are, when you come down to it,
>ple who had a horrible accident or a planned
rrible accident. Either way, the skills used to
create a baby are very diffeienr from the ones you
need to raise i t Parents have to learn by the seat
o f their pants, and m ost just aren’t very good at i t
T hink about your parents. D o you m ink they
did great? Maybe, hut you see what they did
w rong right? You will be better at it than they
ever were!
Don’t lie; it is unbecom ing
Parents are the worst thing for kids, warping
them into little idealized versions o f themselves
by projecting all o f their inadequacies, fears and
ambitions onto a new, innocent life.
Doric fret, everyone does this. It is part o f
being a parent.
It comes down to one th in g you aren’t ready
and neither is almost everyone else. Having
duldren is more m d more becoming a trend
It is fashionable to be irresponsible. If a person
hasn’t graduated middle school, if a person is in
high school, if a person lives in squalor, they don’t
neecb to be clouding the gene pool with more
_ slack-jawed little parasites! * '
At thb^point it is hard to not look at the
schools ancNjsk why they are doing so little to
. inform breeding age stock o f how to use and
wrap their waresfQh no, let’s teach them about
abstinence, because flhafs how to keep kids from
doing the vertical shuffle! Shroud it in mystery
and childish metaphors (hat you then leave them

Feb. 5, 2012, „ Jo: ^ e l l decided that the
best thing for his kidsw as to burn them alive
in his Graham, W ashA om e. Another perfect
example o f parents knowing what is best for their
children. While this is an extreme o f deranged
parental behavior, is it r M ' that m uch differ
ent from deciding to hom eschool your kids or
any other choice parents m r a that hurt their
children? N o t really, Powell hadhis childrens best
interests in m ind when he turned fikchitlins into
bbq and like most parents he knew oek. *.
N o one has a right to give birth, but^k seems
that most people would argue that it is a^god

whar is worse is the fact that most parents

T he likew reasons why you and most peorite

up. That's just what the world needs: more people
in debt up to their eyes , trying to provide in an
ever losing struggle to make a decent life for you
and your family. Inevitably, you will n o t be able
ride all the things your child needs. You
p steps and you will try to take the cheap
way o u t
W hy don’t you spare another child the
screwed up life o f living with parents who can’t
make enough to survive? O r do you have the
right to give birth to pass o n y o u r. bloodline to
another generation regardless? Sadly, yes: you do.

just down the road h asd lle d no less than five
children because parents ‘know’ what is best for
their kids. Countless others are not vaccinated
because (with no evidence to back it up . the
claim) those vaccinations cause autism or count
less other side effects, sentencing their children to
suffer and in some cases die.
Get over it Stop having your litters o f mis
behaved monsters, arid maybe just stick to one
or two once you have reached a point in your
life where you can dedicate the time and money,
which are required, to raise a child right. There is
no way to know what is the absolute ‘right way’
to bring up a kid, but before you do, try look
at yourself in a mirror and ask .if you are j
enough to create life.
New website put on hold again
By Joshua Dillen
Associate News Editor
There has been m uch anticipation for the release
o f a redesigned website at Clackamas Com m unity
College. M any at the college are eagerly awaiting its
debut. According to Dean Walch, C C C webmaster,
the January release has beeri delayed to ensure that
the new site functions as smoothly and seamlessly
as possible.
“We were having some performance issues with
the new system. We wanted to make sure we took
every opportunity to make sure the launch was a
success,” said Which. “Its such an important issue
that we needed to resolve prior to launch. We don’t
want a site that performs poorly.”
Walch and his team were experiencing load issues
with the site.The simple way to describe load issues
means there were problems with the new sites abil
ity to handle the large am ount o f users at any given
time. Since the current website performs very well in
that respect, he said it was important that the new
dackamas.edu should do so as well.
, | . T he new rite’s release date is up in the air. Walch
explained that it won’t be launched during a busy
tim e like registration.
I know we have a working date, but I don’t know
when that is,” he said. “We nave the students’ best
interests in mind.”
H e thanks students for their patience and
expressed that the delay is a result o f making sure
the rite will perform well for them.
C C C Chief Information Officer and Dean of
Information technology Kim Carey is project man
ager, coordinating the design and release o f the new
site; she expressed the importance o f making sure all
potential problems are resolved before the site goes
online. Carey hopes the site will be ready for use by
the end o f March.
“We are still1 very confident we’ve worked through
issues we have had with performance,” said Carey.
“We are being carefully considerate.”
