"Children are not an all or nothing proposal."

I'm not sure I understand this mentality. Why force a life into this existence if you don't do everything in your power to make it as accommodating as you can? Modern life in it of itself will be working against it.

My thoughts exactly. The language used and driving idea were so clinical and robotic that I couldn't tell if this article was satire or not.

This is the argument I used with the 2 doctors that refused to perform a vasectomy on me when I was age 25.

The hereditary history of physical and mental illnesses that run in my family, the economic/environmental projection for the rest of this century as well as the hypotheticals that you listed tip the scales in entirety towards the costs rather than the benefits.

None of the nebulous, ineffable personal fulfillments that parents speak of have ever sounded like a basis for a good moral argument for forcing a new life into this world.

"Another big-picture VR problem: It’s boring to be around people who are using it."

This sentence is pretty emblematic of the product the author of this article was expecting vs the Rift that Oculus pitched in their kickstarter video.

So it's just HTML?

Is there a reason (legal or otherwise) that they can't just use HTML?

zen != daydreaming

Interesting article. Thanks for the fact check!

"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted."

I really liked the clause about no porn. If this mom wants to run her family with Victorian-era iron fist then by all means but trying to stop a 13 year old boy from getting access to porn in 2013 is laughable.
