In the end, it's all parenting. Let people legislate rights away and pawn off responsibility? If you advance that, then you're a cunt. I hate you from the bottom of my heart and I hope nothing but the worst for you, because you're less than nothing.

Oh we do seem to agree on that first paragraph. Of course Iīd tell my kid itīs...verboten
to play on a construction site for example but at the same time I know it will run around there anyway. Just because I donīt want my kid to do something officially it doesnīt mean that Iīll go yell at it because it just because it behaved like a kid. Itīs just growing up, it makes mistakes, it HAS to make mistakes, has to test out certain limits, thatīs only natural, otherwise it will most likely have problems later on. One reason why I donīt like overly protective parents and uber-shelterd kids. Even their immunesystems suffer because of such behavior.
And I never said anything about giving up responsibility, as a parent, YOUīRE the one responsible for your kid, not the state, not the community, the family is, we agree on that as well it seems. What I think is okay is to prevent kids getting things not suitable for their age on their own. If your parents are cool with you playing or watching something, itīs their responsibility again. Can be good parenting, can be bad parenting, it all depends on the parents, the kids and the situation.
But Store-Clerks selling...lets say Prototype...selling that to kids? Not cool in my opinion. Ot the Yakuza-Series. Too adult-themed for kids. Again, itīs the parentīs responsibility to do the right thing for their kid. Thereīs almost no greater parenting-crime than letting the TV or the internet do the education of your kid. I hate people that just "park" their kids in front of the thing and then wander off. Irresponsible, but I think we both agree on that?
