Libertarian babies we make our dreams come true.

American society will never change until children can participate in a robust market for parents, supported by appropriate vouchers. Of course, we will need exhaustive data on parenting effectiveness so that infants can make informed decisions about who will raise them

Stu Pickles was kind of a terrible father, worse than Forest Gump. What does that say about your Americas,

But he made chocolate pudding at 4 in the morning. :o

He made toys...

Pretty much everyone in Rugrats is a horrible parent. The basic premise is all the parents who know each other pawn their kids off on one of the other couples (Usually Stu and Didi) who proceed to just drop off all the kids in some sort of playpen they assume will contain them and thus save them from the responsibility of having to watch the kids.

Or they assume three year old demon fresh from the depths of Hell's heart Angelica is responsible enough to wrangle a bunch of toddlers.

lol I think I understand the irony of the name "Angelica" now. :p

I always wondered how the hell the parents never noticed a toy screwdriver in Tommy's diaper

I think that would be somewhat obvious, no?

Also since I'm required to mention it any time Rugrats comes up, I'm exactly one day older than Tommy Pickles.

Maybe he was just happy to see them.... and now I feel like a horrible human being.

This is some one parodying "run it like a business" thinking, just to be clear.

I was half-joking.

Somewhere along the way, libertarian-minded opinion-wankers have forgotten that "transaction cost" is a thing.
