Too bad this man multiplied before he died.
Well, it'd have been far more newsworthy had he multiplied
after he died, now, would it not?
I linked this particular article for the boneheaded comment from one of his friends that he "lived for his wife and kids". Um, no. If he did, he would've been home with them at 3:20 in the morning and not plowing some random ho and a car into a pole and dying.
Yeah. I understand not speaking ill of the dead, but it would have been more appropriate to say something like, "at least he was getting his dick wet when he died." Which is altogether inappropriate in general, but it would have been moreso.
Reproduction is not a cure-all for depression.
I don't think depression has much to do with it, unless the concept of inventing dependents enhances one's self-worth. But I think most of the time it's accidental, at least for one of the involved parties. Men tend to get tangled in it with the fun part at the beginning, and then an inate sense of responsibility and pride keeps them invested, if not the threat of court-levied child support. I've known several women who purposefully ensnared their man that way...sadly, I'm related to one of them, and the other's married into the family.
Parenting is the one job that you need no experience to get and, when you think you have it all figured out, it's already over. I think some people are just so full of arrogant pride that the semblance of maturity that being a parent projects is appealing to them, too.
