Does Not Illustrate: Children Are A Waste

This one came up in the policy thread as having no illustrative strength whatsoever. It's just a list of reasons explaining the trope that might as well be a (very long) page quote. I think the page would gain from losing it, but I'm not sure about a replacement. The nearest I found was this:

I do prefer the suggestion over the current.

Well, the suggestion isn't just text, so that's a plus. You can sometimes consider font, text composition, and such things for images that are almost just text (such as Dare to Be Badass), but in this case, nothing of that adds anything at all to the text or the trope.

The suggestion is good enough for me.

I guess it works. It has my support for now.

Not great, but far better than current.

Better than current.

The replacement is far better than the current. It's still not great, but I can't think of anything that would work better. This is a tough trope to illustrate.
