I too never used to get overly emotional.
This all changed when i had kids.
Recently what has got to me is the Daniel Pelka case. I have found myself really upset at the thought of that poor little lad being tortured by his own mother. I have a son around the same age and hearing the details on the case has been very distressing to the point where I have had to leave the room when it has been on tv.
Still don't cry at films though

This is more Manning The Fuck Down.
But I think there is a special place in hell for that kid's parents.

I don't think that's anything to do with having kids.
The Daniel Pelka case is just the latest Victoria Kolumbie/Baby P case to hit the headlines.

Some people are, sadly, just scum.

Some in-law on Facebook posted an RIP pic of him, and reading the discussion was just like reading "From The Messageboards" in Private Eye. Which was equally depressing.

Still - for now, there is still always drink.

Agree. Having kids gives you a deeper set of emotions.

What - you get a new set?

I swapped angst and nervousness for plummery and groib.

bollocks it does.
like all of life's experiences it make it easier to empathise with people who have have similar/related experiences. it's only a revelation if you were previously massively lacking in empathy/humanity in general. so like most people really.

I wouldn't say massively lacking in Empathy
But it does bring it home to you. Imagining what that kid went through is enough to make my piss boil at how anyone could do that to a child.

Ironically, all he lived on for two months was boiled piss.

Its good to know that unlike some his life ultimately had meaning

It's what he would have wanted.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 16:00, closed)

I think what he wanted
was something to eat, something to drink and a mother and step father who weren't utter utter cunts.
