    We don’t want kids downloading bad stuff.

    Then parents should keep an eye on their kids. Or just don’t give them full on access to the computer.

    I hate that politicians keep trying to invent technology to do a parents job.

      “We care so much about the children!”

      Meanwhile: Pedophiles? Is ok. Climate Change? Hoax. Abortion? Is evil. School shootings? Unavoidable. Child labor? Can boost the economy. Also don’t forget the army is recruiting, the meat grinder needs feeding.

      I think it’s absolutely obvious the USA government gives zero shit about kids. They are only being use as laverage just like in any dysfunctional family.

        But… In your example about abortion, it would be evil because its killing unborn babies (aka children), so you kind of help their point.

        Everything else is wrong though with pedo, climate change, etc.

          Banning abortions kills people who have been born already, including children.

          So, no. They’re not right. Their point is trying to punish people for having sex.

          Blanket statements about abortions are wrong I agree. But banning abortion altogether actually hurts children. It increases the number of dysfunctional families. It encourages dispair and hurts mothers more than it needs to.

          Abortions with rules and regulation is a net positive for humanity and children as proven in pretty much every developped country.

          As a society let’s look after children that are alive before we worry about 3 weeks old fetuses. Let’s save the mothers when possible and allow abortion to be a virtious mean to save lives.

      Absolutely. While we’re at it, let’s repeal agegating smoking, driving, and drinking. The parents should keep an eye on their kids.
