This is just stupid. I like coffee…a lot, and it would also be near the top of my list, but it isn’t at the top of my list of what really matters in life. Also pizza, strawberry ice cream, spaghetti, roast chicken, Chicken Panini, bacon, and…

Confirmed: Only New Zealand researchers didn’t know that

Our priorities are jacked up.

Confirmed: It’s much more fun going in than it is coming out.

Sorry, but I refuse to believe Americans are this vapid and shallow.
Then again, they just reelected Obama.
Sigh.

The study was done in New Zealand.

Sex makes me happy for a moment. My children make me happy for a lifetime.

You are a riot.
Also confirmed, must have sex before having babies…in most cases anyway.
You didn’t read – study done in New Zeeland.
You’re right in general, though.

A pity so many still don’t know the difference between pleasure and happiness. (and, perhaps, never will)

Is the author of this article actively advocating for a low birth-rate by telling people it’s more fun to have sex, but not the logical result of having sex? Well, it is from a British paper afterall. Just reminding themselves that their low birth rate is okay, I guess.

The point of kids isn’t to make you happy.
AbaddonsReign on November 24, 2012 at 7:44 AM
A pity that so many still haven’t enjoyed good sex with someone they love and discovered how much happiness that brings.

Cheaper too.

I dunno sometimes when I had sex I ended up with kids. Who woulda thunk?

What a piece of garbage that article is.
Heck they didn’t even tell us what the ages were of the respondents or if they even had kids. I suspect if it was mostly done in NZ that they have an even lower birth rate than we. Seems to me there was a motivation at least by the writer of the article and I am a little suspect of those who did the study.

Of course they do.. I mean sex is instant gratification and children require work and sacrifice. Adults have become children in their impulses. I love nookie, but I wouldn’t kill for it. Now ask me if I would kill for my children.
