right so the parents are making the decision and then you want a nanny state to look after the kids.
- latentsea 1y ago...implying all parents are always capable of making the correct decision at all times? Also, implying the state doesn't already do lots to look after the kids like say set the age they can drink, drive, buy tobacco, age of consent etc. Guess we should just leave 100% of that up to the parents too? I don't imagine anything bad would happen in your perfect parents in a vacuum world, so we might as well.
- exe34 1y agoyes, more centralised state control is exactly what we need. it's not like we have communities and neighbours that could step in - we all live in the middle of the forest after all.
- latentsea 1y agoYeah... Yeah... my bad, I totally forgot about that. Get the community involved, makes perfect sense. Just send them to the Boy Scouts of America... Oh wait... oh shit... Oh that didn't turn out great. Never mind we'll just take em to church. Whoops... damn. Alright, well how about we put them in the local sports club. Shit. Your super responsible community based approach just got your kids diddled hard.
