Isn't that rather the point? When you are a child, adults make decisions for you in your best interest; but when you become an adult, you make your own decisions. This joyful welcome for the infantilisation of an entire population, I find it very disturbing.
- woodruffw 5y agoThere's nothing "infantilizing" about doing your civic duty.
- betwixthewires 5y agoAre you deliberately or accidentally missing the point of the comment you're responding to?
- woodruffw 5y agoThere are two points in the comment. I went with the easier one to respond to, because I don't feel like the parent is entitled to asymmetric labor in the form of a detailed rebuttal. The Internet really is an incredible place.
- kodyo 5y agoI didn’t sign anything.
- woodruffw 5y agoYou can bet Hobbes is spinning in his grave for using that word!
- belltaco 5y agoNeither did anyone in society sign anything to put up with you. You're free to live away from society and you're unlikely to be bothered by anyone. Imagine a convict making that argument to a judge 'I didn't sign anything that says I won't murder anyone'.
- Daishiman 5y agoRousseau would agree but then again it's irrelevant.
- HanShotFirst 5y agoYou're very free to not get vaccinated and endure the consequences, just as you were free to not get vaccinated as a child and be home schooled.
- jjgreen 5y agoI'm fully vaccinated thank you, believing as I do that vaccines are a wonder, a victory of human ingenuity over disease. It saddens me that so many people of a similar view also have the nasty authoritarian streak so often evident in these discussions.
