A form of child abuse or good preparation for a world run by science and math nerds?

I don't think parents have much choice. You can instill morals, values and such, however it may not happen. What are you going to do if a kid really wants
to play football? Ban it?

I don't know what to do if my kid grows up to be a jock like his dad. I can play some sports but I don't want him to throw like a girl.

Too bad the world is going to be run by blacksmiths and farmers soon.
Oh, and Feudal Lords. |

What exactly do you plan to do shag? Buy him a pocket protector and be his date to the prom? |

I was raised on a TV diet of Star Trek:TNG and Battlestar Galactica, but am now only partially a geek (though still fully retarded).

Well his primary male role model will now be my brother in law, who is a philosopher and a Latin teacher who enjoys metal music, fantasy fic and RPGs. He
throws the best Cthulu parties, for real.
Also, he's my kid so it may be unavoidable. |

Why is TC so touchy about a kid growing up gay? Want to share something with us?

It's only child abuse if you force them to post on OT. Otherwise, expose them to lots of different stuff and they'll figure out what they want to do.

Depends how you define 'geek', I suppose. Good with computers, gadgets and techy shit? Great!
Decked out in a Wizard's cloak at the midnight Premiere of The Hobbit after an all-nighter of D&D at Sloan's house? Not so great. |

I think an all-nighter at Sloan's house would be "not so great" no matter what you're wearing.

If you're wearing a nurse uniform with no panties, it would be pretty great for him.
At least that's what merkyl told me. |

Nurse uniform with no panties is appropriate for any occasion.

It must take a long time to shave your legs, though.

I only wax my taint. I think it looks pretty that way.
