Source

FTA:


"And as soon as the desire is fulfilled, be it some material want or simply an insatiable and narcissistic desire for validation, they quickly become bored and lose interest in their victims, all the while thinking only of satisfying whatever their next hedonistic craving might be."

So true.

So if a magazine said your child was a sociopathic rapist without even being able to speak yet, you'd believe it?

Children have always been evil, conniving little monsters.

Although it is a joke article, a lot (If not all) of what it says is true if the child is spoiled.

Direct links in seperate browsers would have been sufficient if the OP decided to use them.

I did link, but I specifically wrote it as "source" to see who'd take it seriously.

Ah, couldn't tell if you were taking it seriously or not.

And WushuFighter I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say.

Ah, couldn't tell if you were taking it seriously or not. And I wasn't linking to another browser.

Ah. Well, it's the internet. Satire is always taken as the truth.

A direct link would have allowed me to see that it was from the onion. Somewhat related, using the function that allows you to open links outside of the current gamespot window would have also been nice.

Ah, I'm used to middle mouse clicking in FF, which automatically opens in a different tab.

The problem with The Onion is their stories are only slightly crazier than real life stories, so I would have been quite happy to believe this and not care :lol:.

Its actually in some weird way true, considering how kids act these days because of their crappy parents.

I've long described children as creatures of untrammeled id. While presented as a joke, kids' personality traits do overlap quite a bit with those of narcissistic sociopaths. Edit: After looking at the article, I REALLY want a copy of Dr. Pritha Singh's Born Without Souls.

Isn't that what humans are all about? The human nature so to speak.

Yes. And it's exactly why the theory of communism cannot work.

The Onion is starting to scare me. I bet if I found someone who didn't know it was satire, they would believe it's 100% true.
