Unfortunately, they get worse. And it seems like some of the people posting are pregnant/their partners are pregnant.
It's for sure the worst things I've read on twitter. Including the "Chris Brown can slap me anytime!" fiasco.

I understand your sentiment, but I have to admit, my first thought after reading it was, "but you can be friends with someone who is mean to other people's kids?" I'm not trying to pick a fight or start a discussion, because I understand why that would be your reaction to one of your kids being gay. It just jumped out at me.
As to the OP, between this and the don't elect Obama bumper sticker that Helper posted... I'm especially disgusted with humanity today. I always wonder if I'm parent material or not, because I'm not sure I could be as selfless as is necessary, but it seems like at least I don't fall totally into the "you are a horrible person and should NEVER procreate" category. Yay for progress.
