lol, yeah can you imagine the training: 'Right guys, if a car is in a twisted wreck make sure there are no adults in the vehicles. There might be children too, but if there isn't a 'baby on board' sign you can stop searching, kk?'

I believe that there is a size difference between adults and babies. If there is a car crash where the car catches fire, it would be quite easy to see from a distance whether there is an adult in the car. Babies however are quite often smaller than adults (as mentioned before) and so from a distance it may be hard to see that there is a baby in the car and if it is on fire, people may choose not to go close to investigate this. However, if they notice there is a sign saying "Baby onboard", it may give them cause to get closer to the car and investigate whether there is indeed a "Baby" on "board" and if they do discover this baby, they may well consider rescuing it from the flaming wreck.

I found her in a pram outside the post office on the Kingsland Road. What do they eat? She's starting to look a bit peaky, doesn't seem to like pizzas.

No, you swap them for another one when they get hungry. Like leaving a book on a park bench; sort of passing it on.

Hey. This is my moment here, not Thorn's. Thorn's time will come, but for now it's all about me, my undeniably cute child and what a great dad I'm going to be.

Hey, is that really your baby? I don't come on here enough to catch all the news, even if it is nine months in the growing.
If that child is yours, then she is perfect. Congratulations to you and her mum. A daughter? Daughters keep you straight - you are bound to be a cool dad.

I think McDirts will ruthlessly exploit his child for the purposes of market research and that by the time the child is eight years old it will have serious development issues from being forced to play with a selection of either valueless or outright damaging prototype toys.

Its clothes, its food, the very bricks of the child's home will be funded by the emotional and intellectual lobotomisation of Britain's children in the pursuit of a quick buck. There's nothing cool about that, Sam.

The good thing is that although McDirts will break his child through testing all the new toys, it will give him insight that other toy developers don't have so he will be able to claw his way to the top of the toy industry and when his own child is no use any more he'll be able to afford a new one from Malawi or something.

Born unto the very tyrant who would seek to rob the world of innocence, imagination and creativity, and replace those sparkling qualities with covetousness, consumerism, and prejudice, the child sleeps. Rest well, little bairn, for you are born into kingdom built on greed and moral compromise and you will need your strength to resist the tempatations placed in your path by the very people who would seek to care for you. For you will one day face two diverging paths in your journey through this life, as you decide to either perpetuate the cycle of exploitation and cynicism or dedicate yourself to tearing it down, responding only to non-denominational playthings of significant educational value. Oh yes, child. Though it may seem you have no free will, though the terrible history of your forebears will weigh heavy on your shoulders, you have the power to make a better future for all of us. Will the child continue the tyranny of greed, or will it set us free? Rest now. Your destiny will meet you soon enough.Posts: 13758
