But you’re not just talking about children. You’re making the claim that any time anyone has some sort of authority over someone else, the person under authority doesn’t have thoughts, feelings or perspectives of their own. This is false.

Hmm, well I was managing a retail location in one of Toronto’s biggest malls throughout my studies, so personally that feels like a bit of a false equivalency. Why should the views of my professors negate my own perspective? The ones I disagreed with and the ones I agreed with each impacted my perspective in different…
Well, I moved out when I was 18 and went to Toronto. That was 12 years ago. I now have a master’s degree. I have been working “in the real world” since I moved to the city with little more than the shirt on my back. I rent a condo on the waterfront with my partner, we have a cat, credit cards and insurance. Is that…
Well, that does it, I’m going to have to post a picture of my year old baby girl, and *trigger warning* she NEVER wears clothes:
Right... Honestly, I don’t know what you think raising children means, but imparting your values, passions, understanding and moral code on them is at least 50% of that process. So when kids internalize the worldview of their parents (and later critically deconstruct it), this is the act of raising a child playing out…
Seriously. Almost took the bait myself. My brain was already silently going off on this person before I realized.
I’m in Canada and even I know which state Kansas City is in.
This needs lots of stars.
Wait a minute... You’re not surprised, are you?
Never said that at all. In fact, depending on the degree of socialism, accumulation of capital by individuals may even be expected and to some extent encouraged in a fairly moderate socialist society. In other more extreme circumstances, capital is simply accumulated by the state, which often ends badly. Socialism…
Heheh, yes I am aware and have pointed that fact out to said dear friend. That is about where the similarities end between them though, so that’s a plus.
Eh, again, I’m not about to go and make judgements on other people’s diets. I would suspect that with the right supplements and vitamins, one could probably make veganism work in a fairly healthy manner. Its not the distinction between the two that gets me. It’s the shear anger and vitriol that some people feel…
A very dear friend of mine will buy pricey steaks, and FUCKING BROIL THEM until they turn into leather. Honestly, at this point I can’t help but shrug.
Right? I’m a pretty strict vegetarian, but without cheese and eggs and milk and whatnot, I would be one sour bastard. Hangry even. That said, I do my absolute best to source these things in as “ethical” a way as I’m generally able.
“Hey Cletus! Ya know what’d be fun to do with this large, potentially dangerous ve-hicle? Jack up that there front end so we can’t see nothin’ in front of us! Y’know, hatchbacks, children, hound dogs and the like! Yeeeeehaw!!!”
My absolute best to Mike, Emily, Seamus and Archer.
Uh huh. Sorry to offend you I guess. I noticed it hadn’t been announced on Splinter yet, and live nearby. Frankly, I could have easily been standing on that intersection at that time. Guess I got a little caught up.
