The problem is that the children tend to be normal, but they have to grow out of having disabled parents, which isn't easy, even if the parent has a mild disability and performs at an average level and has an above average IQ. If I ever got pregnant, the thing would probably be perfectly normal, but with the way things are, shamed for having me as a parent because I will always be on a low socioeconomic level, as I was shamed for having my parents and was shamed by my community for not being wealthy such as having beer cans thrown at me as I rode home on top of it then shamed for being from the community that shamed me. I hate facebook and retarded people who get stupid jobs and then show your face to laugh at me when you should know by your fancy psychology that I'm a borderline criminal and have plenty of psychological insight and have been liberated from societal chains of motivation and self-questioning. I am not in doubt. I am not pure. I will get that girl back. I do not care about my check. She will say sorry. Anyway, this at least made it abnormally normal. Why did everyone say the Soviet Union was so bad? They helped parents raise their children in schools and actually put them on logical career paths. I know I'd be rounded up for the GULAGs since I'm cheap labor for at least a portion of my life, and it's almost a price I'm willing to pay. They could beat me for being from my community. I understand that if the bunch of bananas is rotten the apple will be too, no matter how different it is, so long as they have a plan for the apple such as being part of a pie, that's fine.
