Quote of the Day 2-18-10
USA Weekend interview with comedienne Sarah Silverman, February 12:
Q: Are you interested in ever getting married? [Her last relationship was with talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel.]
A: I’m interested in having and finding that person for life, but marriage is barbaric. I wouldn’t be a part of it, especially now. Why would anyone want government involved in their love? I think it’s a disgusting club to be in where people who love people of the same sex aren’t allowed.
Q: Do you want kids?
A: I’m not stressed about not having kids. I’ll want to adopt someday. I don’t want to pass on my genes. I don’t understand why anyone, other than for vanity, needs to have kids. There are so many children without homes.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Dear Sarah,
What happened to you? All I read behind your words is woundedness.
Thanks, Sarah, for not passing on your genes.
In the barbaric cultures, she would have no choice because men would control her fertility. Currently the idea in evolutionary psychology is that women are being selected for the personality trait of agreeableness because women such as Sarah have so few children. With so many aggressive, educated women having so few children, the conditions are ripe for increasing sexual dimorphism in humans. Ironic that patriarchy selects for more intelligent and assertive women, whereas sexual liberation selects for more pleasant personalities.
Wow, sad.
Really sad.
Lost, blind, walking in darkness.
Reminds me of that Steve Green song, “People Need the Lord”.
Sarah could be really funny if she wasn’t so controversial in her opinions. She’s a good actress, IMO.
I don’t have any patience for juvenile attention whores like SS. Internet trolls are one thing. They’re fun because you can actually post back at them. I have no time for real life trolls like her.
What happened to this woman to make her so full of disdain?
She must have been seriously abused in her formative years. She hates herself so much that she has to find some of rationalization for avoid any real connection with human world around her.
Yes, thanks for not passing on your genes Sarah! And sorry for you…carrying a child is one of the greatest experiences a woman can ever have. I hated it and loved it all at once, and never forgot what it was like and I can’t wait to do it again!
Free speech is wonderful, don’t you think? And she is partly right about vanity–too many parents today have children so they can project themselves through them.
“project themselves” thru their kids?

Dang, where do they get these ideas?
Typical Hollywood.
oh my gosh, how sad
