And anyway, it's MY child and what business is it of Nanny-state whether I do sell it into slavery?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712793.post-1124254238658629202005-08-17T16:50:00.000+12:002005-08-17T16:50:00.000+12:00I'll put good money on the argument that "Helen is...I'll put good money on the argument that "Helen is barren ergo this is her lefty doing as she doesn't understand that our kids need violence" will be the next one trotted out to bat. <BR/><BR/>I think they should allow children to have acid thrown in their faces.RSJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733858887040500376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712793.post-1124252807622165602005-08-17T16:26:00.000+12:002005-08-17T16:26:00.000+12:00Ah, the kiwibloggers get like that about everythin...Ah, the kiwibloggers get like that about <B>everything</B> -- stick-poking would be almost too easy. I tried to stay civil when told straight away that I wasn't worth listening to, so that at the very least I could justify myself in quietly thinking they're all pricks from up on my big high horse. <BR/><BR/>The biggest problem is that they can't differentiate argument from bare opinion. Sure, if you've actually experienced parenting, your opinion is likely to be better informed than someone who hasn't, but that has no bearing on whether or not your arguments in support of that opinion are any good.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428777233351272669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712793.post-1124252229274836342005-08-17T16:17:00.000+12:002005-08-17T16:17:00.000+12:00Crikey, the kiwibloggers are getting a little jump...Crikey, the kiwibloggers are getting a little jumpy over this, ain't they? The urge to poke them with sticks is remarkably strong. Especially the one creature who is bouncing up and down declaring "One must have been an angry parent who has smacked/hit/punched/stabbed one's child to enter into this debate! Non-violent people who have no track-record of assaulting minors cannot play! Let us talk about my kidney-punching revenge I wreak upon my child for making me into a sagging-gut gaping-chasm harpie! Wheeee!". It has all the class of a hillbilly clutching his rifle and screaming about their Second Amendment right to shoot niggras.<BR/><BR/>Personally I think we should treat children as adults, and give them the vote. And the right to consent to... stuff.RSJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733858887040500376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712793.post-1124247054697962742005-08-17T14:50:00.000+12:002005-08-17T14:50:00.000+12:00You could say that about any issue, though - there...You could say that about any issue, though - there's always something else that needs doing.
