To be fair, in this particular case, I don't know that the kid is going to be disadvantaged. Her aunty is a walking pile of cash.
Still, yeah, this.

More important things when raising a child then cash.

This is true but there are enough kids having kids out there who live in complete poverty on top of dealing with all the bullshit in their social environment that I'm not going to worry too much about this one.

QFT. It's not like they're all mooching off of Britney, Jamie Lynn has been making enough bank of her own that her gestating spawn already has more money than I do. It may not guarantee quality parenting, but it does guarantee quality lots-of-other-stuff.

This is also true, but as someone who doesn't buy that kind of media, doesn't try to pimp people to that kind of media and is rather aggressively against that kind of media I've kind of exhausted the possibilities present under my non-interventionist morality.

Besides, maybe the kid will dig on snow.

Yeah, that is a good point, but people should not be so happy about it.  I am not really pissed or anything, I just think it is a horrible way to spend your life and, possibly, the scummiest way to make a living.

Also, you saw what I was saying about the quote thing right?


Oh, and 29 I think, I don't remember, took it a couple days ago.  I think in real life I would either be way to freaked out to take out the kids, or, if I did, come on, I could take at least 50.

I got 22, and if anyone didn't know, this the fallout from a semi-famous AskMetaFilter post asking this question. It's a good read. I should go find it.

For posterity/completeness.

I would too, but it would be by sowing dissention and thus eroding their collective resolve.

The whole time I was taking the test, I was wondering why there weren't any psychological tactics.  I work with children, so that is all I'm going to say about that.  Let's just say my number would probably be higher than the test goes if those sorts of things were factored in.

With the writer's strike not ending anytime soon, I think I'm going to develop this idea as a TV reality series for NBC.

NBC's "How Many Five Year Olds Can You Take In A Fight?" hosted by Bob Goldthwait.

Maybe they could work it into that 'Kid Nation' show. I'm assuming they all ended going all Lord of the Flies by the end anyway.
