Reminds me of that line from "The Rock." Even now, 23 years, I still agree.

"I tell you, honey, the world is being FedExed to hell on a handcart. I seriously think that anyone's considering bringing a child into this world is coldly considering an act of cruelty."

Best Bay movie ever.

Because that's inaccurate. From Reuters
Reuters wrote:When police went later that day to raid the family home, his younger brother Ilham Ibrahim detonated a bomb that killed him, his wife and the couple’s three children, the source told Reuters, requesting anonymity for fear of reprisals.
