Comment on Think of the children

  No, ‘Think of the children’ is a meme :p

  Laws are written by government lawyers. Laws are revoked and rescinded by government workers. These laws still exist. Unpopular laws still exist… In many States a law can be petitioned into existence-- to get broken and watered down in beaureocratic double-speak. Worse, laws dont just go away, they’re written over. Wherein §512.765 still reffrences the ‘removed’ §218.231(A)(2) verbiage. Its a clusterfuck.

  Do you really think more taxes/government will end the ageless problem of shit parenting and poor parents?

    How about… Not electing government officials that are OK with child marriage?

      For it! No force or taxes required

        You would need police to force people into jail for marrying children or officiating said marriages, and taxes to fund said police

    I think you meant to a reply that asked for higher taxes or more government power, because that wasn’t what mine said.

    Also, i am quite happy letting the government have the “power” to stop child labour and child marriage. If that’s an overstep in your book, then i don’t like your book. What seems an overstep in government power to me is regulating what people can do with their own bodies. Why isn’t that offensive to you?

      The implication of all left/right ultimately boils down to taxes/force. I dont like force or taxes. This extends to bodily rights. However if you mean abortions issues, there is a true coin-flip on who’s body gets priority. (The solution is to not regulate it so that people that want it can do it and people who dont dont have to fund it. No force, no taxes. Consistency).

        The mother’s body. It should take priority every single time.

        That’s not even close to being correct
