I think I must be high - I am talking about babies?!

ha ha I like the way you break it down simple.

What about when the fuckers just cry - they're fed, watered, pissed and cleaned and they CRY!!!! How the hell do you help them> this is partially why I never opted for kids - too freaky to be responsible for all that need. 

 In that situation you have to consider that there may be something else going on, such as a health issue or they could just have belly-ache and need to pass wind (fart or burp).

I always found it more disturbing that I don't respond to someone crying like it's anything to worry over. It's mostly loud, and an obvious clue that something's needed, but I don't really feel anything when confronted with it.

There's always this awkward few seconds where I'm just sort of staring at the person who's crying before I realize I should be responding to it the way people usually do.

I think crying in children and adults, who are capable of communicating verbally, is a sign of weakness. It's also annoying because they expect you to sympathize with them. I feel contempt towards people who cry. It's pathetic.

Aha moment as they say.  And Medula made Richard Parker very sad with lots to think about...

But wow and thank you nonetheless :(

 well, if you are an emotionally detached person that makes perfect sense. i don't lag in response, but i don't always respond "positively" or get moved, it depends on who it is. if i care about the person then i am affected, or if the baby belongs to someone i care about then absolutely, but otherwise i just want it to shut up. i mean, rationally, a baby or someone crying has nothing to do with us, there is no rational reason why we should feel moved or affected, but some of us do nevertheless.

 wtf happened here?! 

As a person who cries, it's not always a conscious action.  I don't expect sympathy and I often would rather not be observed when I'm crying.  Maybe it is weakness, but it's often a loss of self-control for me.  I also cry out of embarrassment and frustration, since rage and violence (which are my other options) are socially unacceptable.

you lie!! :P

Here are my three favorite videos of babies:
