I'm not going to have a conversation with someone who won't argue in good faith. There's obviously a middle ground here that starts at puberty that you purposely chose to ignore.
- freedomben 3y agoThe age group is relevant, because the Florida law that many people point to was about younger children. But regardless, my second point doesn't depend at all on the age group. So sure, ad hominem is an easy way to avoid having to reconcile uncomfortable logic.
- otterley 3y agoFirst, I wasn't talking about a Florida law. Attempts to restrict sex education happen all over the country, and have been happening since at least the 1980s. I remember having to take a permission slip home to my parents during the Reagan years to be present when the subject was taught. Your second point was a ridiculous attempt to bring guns into the conversation. "Gun rights" are a uniquely American concept and have nothing to do with understanding one's own body, sexuality and reproduction. These concepts are not just universal human concerns; they are core to the functioning of the animal kingdom.
