@Harlequinist: I'll admit it can be noticed if it's short, and blunt enough. especially since i made a giant reference to Stuart Little. You however, went out of your way to purposely write something filled with racism, vulgarity, and dragged it on longer than it was worth in an attempt to antagonize people. bear in mind, this is a website filled with preteens that make threads about sex and discuss it by saying things like "IT HAS BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN THAT ___." or the ever so common religious thread which consists of the angry teenage atheists rebelling against mommy and daddy by acting like they have a PHD in putting down religion.. my ability to tell if someone is serious or not is iffy due to this, please understand.

Yes I am a monster because I'd like a pet mouse. Alright, I'll admit you caught me in my hypocrisy. Feel free to quote me, PM me, and drag this out further as you see fit. I think you're trying to start something I don't want to participate in. Goodbye.

@Harlequinist: Is there something wrong with you mentality that you think your emotions will transcend through the internet and people will be able to detect your sarcasm?

I wouldn't adopt unless I really had to.
I also would never adopt a disabled kid because of how much work it would involve.
I would adopt anyone unless they're middle eastern, jewish, muslim, indian or mexican.

I wouldn't adopt children in the first place. So... yeah.

If I was forced to adapt a child, then I'd probably choose the coolest/funniest kid (boy) or the prettiest/nicest kid (girl). Race depends.

[quote=Harlequinist]I understand that, but in my defence your backwards sad face is making me extremely uncomfortable. Also, the kid should be lucky he even has a cramped room in the attic, and being cold and hungry is strength training. There are starving and cold black children in Africa - at least he'll be starving and cold with his loving mum in a 1st world country.
Since Harry Potter came out from under the stairs and started demanding things it seems like every other kid in similar situations feel like they have the right as well... Political correctness is running rampant.[/quote]

1. wow a sad face u poor baby
2. you're a monster if you're trying to pass off bad living conditions as "strength training" and justifying it because there are starving kids in africa.
3. if you have to use harry potter as an example you're probably 12 and need to step away from your computer.
4. you think treating people nicely is "omg political correctness runnin' rampant!" so i'm not even going to bother with you after reading that you pathetic excuse of a human.

OT: I'd only adopt a small talking mouse and watch as the orphans cope with the sad reality that an animal was somehow more appealing, and worthy of a home than they are.

If I were to adopt it would be in my race, because I don't want the child to feel different in the family.

But I probably won't be having a kid in he future because they're so much work.
I would just adopt a kitten or something.

[quote=Harlequinist]Everyone's gotten so damn PC. It's not racist to want to adopt within your own race, they'd probably be genetically closer to you and share your cultural background. Whereas if I adopted a black baby it might start complaining about how his white mum 'never lets me out of the attic', 'pays my wages with left-over food' and being 'so hungry and cold'. So tired of this PC culture.[/quote]

That's a bit harsh to put ): A child's personality isn't based on the race, but rather their childhood environment.

I'll probably adopt any race, but the child in general has to appeal to me? Idk how that would work. Like, I get that "click" where I would use my time, money, love into raising this kid into someone.

Honestly, I'd adopt a white girl, or Asian girl. If it was a boy, I'd adopt a black baby, Hispanic, or white.

I hate stereotypes of short weak asians. Some, like me, are unlike the stereotypes, well, except the math and science part.
