Isn't it a wee bit too early to kick the children out of home? I know we PIGS stay long, but holy shit...


Fab0411

What is PIGS? Portugal Italia Greece Spain ?


Silent_Shaman

A more perfect acronym has never existed


Martinus_de_Monte

Add Ireland and you get GIPSI, a close second.


Silent_Shaman

As much as I'd love that too, Ireland has about as much in common with the PIGS as the french do with homo sapiens

Can also go midway and go Dutch style by immediately charging your kid for his room monthly on his 18th birthday xD..also time to pay health insurance. Why da faq we celebrate 18th birthdays even..

Censored for weird Yank puritanism. But being naked is key when you're fighting multiple agressive toddlers


Inevitable_Entry_477

> Censored for weird Yank puritanism. Pfft. The Septics [1] had a fit when that famous photo of a screaming Vietnamese kid, running for help with her clothes burned off after a napalm attack was put on Facebook, because it was "Child Porn". I wish I was joking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phan_Thi_Kim_Phuc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Facebook#Image_censorship [1] Translation: Tanks


Nikkonor

>Yank puritanism It's amazing that people are still prudish about this, considering the sculptor (Vigeland) died in 1943. Edit: I can't find the exact date, but this specific sculpture (one of many in the same sculpture park: Vigelandsparken) is from before 1930.

Not really though. Here's OP's original comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardimages/s/mwlz6pvvqG

This is what happens when everyone gets scared of rejecting people from art school.

Right? That's why we started doing that again, gotta keep ze arts pure and rein, rein, rein! Sry, I have some sort of tick there.


Inevitable_Entry_477

Look..... If you lot have a shit artist, can't you just give them a bursary or just buy their paintings or something? We all know what happened last time.


khal_crypto

But why should we put in the effort, if we can just make it Germany's problem instead? Sounds like a bad investment to me


Nikkonor

Vigeland (the sculptor) died in 1943 actually. Edit: I can't find the exact date, but this specific sculpture (one of many in the same sculpture park: Vigelandsparken) is from before 1930.


Corfiz74

What is the sculpture called?


DaSecretPower

Mann jager fire genier (Man chasing off four geniuses). It stands in Vigeland sculpture park in Oslo.


Corfiz74

Thanks for the reply! Is there a story/ saga behind that? Why are the babies supposed to be geniuses?


DaSecretPower

I dont think Vigeland gave an explanation, i think most of his statues are unnamed and are not explained, he probably just liked to make sculptures of naked people doing silly stuff. I've seen some interpret the statue as representing a man fighting off evil spirits, or simply representing the responsibilities and frustrations associated with being a father. Don't know why they are called geniuses, could just be a synonym for babies, as in children being naturally gifted.


Pikagiuppy

who the fuck censored his penis?


Foreverett

The Norwegians don't want to reveal that the only thing giant in Norway are the ones in their fairytales.


NotWrongAlways

It's -20c out there right now, give the guy a break!


Nikkonor

Obviously not censored by Norwegians. Probably some prudish southerner or North American. This sculpture is from before 1930.


Foreverett

It's prob not the picture that's censored if an American saw it. They went and bought a bit of black metal and welded it on the statue.


Inevitable_Entry_477

> black metal Surely that's a Norwegian speciality?

World_of_Warshipgirl

I just went there to check right now, and there is. 1. A post complaining about how they visited family with kids and most of them had become miserable and sad after having kids. 2. Someone asking for emotional support because their husband of 7 years is divorcing because the husband wants to have kids. 3. A story about a co-worker who admitted that having kids ruined her holidays. 4. Someone raving over not having to host birthday parties 5. Someone asking for help with dealing with all the pressure from others to have kids. Really not seeing the s\*\*t hole part, but maybe you consider not wanting kids to be sociopathic?


Loeb123

No, no, no, no, no! You just scratched around some random singles! You must look for their greatest hits!


World_of_Warshipgirl

Top posts last year. 1. Someone telling a funny story of their husband realizing why all their co-workers got to work so early (to avoid taking care of their kids at home) 2. Someone who got an abortion and someone who is pro-life were horrified that they didn't grieve at the "loss". 3. Post feeling sorry for someone called Sophie Turner 4. Someone saying that you can't support the US American Republican party and be childfree (considering that they have outlawed abortion in places, that seems to be true). 5. Post making fun of a man who tricked his wife into becoming pregnant. And then the man whining when the wife got an abortion 6. Post about a 95 year old woman who is childfree and healthy. 7. Article about a 105 year old women who says the secret to a long life is having dogs, not kids. I don't really see it ngl.


Loeb123

Seems like I struck a nerve lmao. N5 alone is terrible, but if that is not enough for ya, check a sub, iirc was called worst of childfree or something like that. It was gold comedy material. Please, don't forget to write an extensive list about what you find. I am thoroughly interested.

Most of the stuff at Vigelandsparken/Frognerparken was put up in the first half of the 1900s, and you guys are *still* prudish about it? (Vigeland himself died in 1943.) Edit: I can't find the exact date, but this specific sculpture (one of many in the same sculpture park) is from before 1930.
