Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

It seems it is the fornicating that you don't like, not the single parenting. I don't like either. I think fornication is wrong, and that it causes bad consequences, especially for children. I think being a birth parent out of wedlock is also bad, and is proven to cause bad outcomes. A foster carer...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

But for the sake of your argument, I would be 100% in favor of red light and speeding cameras spread around the city. And start ticketing everyone who is breaking the law. Most red light cameras are installed by a private company that then runs the entire operation including collecting the money, a...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

I think Putin would have invaded Ukraine, even if the Ukrainian government had allowed Russian speaking citizens to keep their language and culture. Where did you get this question from? You do realize that the current Ukrainian government is run by the native Russian speaker Zelensky and his gover...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Your claim that the people who are ticketed for red light violations and speeding violations are generally those who have caused an accident is false. Now, what do you think has the most effect overall on reducing traffic speeds - the tickets that are given to speeders after they have caused an acc...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

She is a willful single mother. She is a single mother who is willfully seeking MORE children. If single parenting represents negligence as you claim, then she should be punished same as any single mother who accidentally gets pregnant, willfully gets pregnant, or happens to get pregnant against he...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

They pay for necessities with money they receive through government assistance. Sounds like this area is being run exactly as the government intends, actually. It just underscores the hypocrisy of a lot of these survivalist types. You find them all over the rural west. There were loads of them back...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Explain how any of those would apply to a single mother with a child out of wedlock? What illegal act are you putting them on trial for and punishing? In my original post, I was referring to the act of fornication, as evidenced by a child out of wedlock. So if a guy gets a vasectomy he is good to g...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

And sometimes justice is making an example of people for the greater good. I don't agree with this statement. Justice is treating people fairly, not picking on one person to "make an example" of them. That is the reality that we live in. When it comes to things like negligent actions, the...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

How much benefit is there in punishing negligence based on whether or not someone is actually injured? So that you and I might both do the exact same thing, but only one of us gets to go to prison based the random chance of which of us managed to hurt someone by that action? That is the reality we ...
