Yota up needs to see some ID to make sure the 10 yr old isn't 21yrs old. :homer:

It's so fucking dumb I have hard time believing it's not permanent troll.

Yota up...you know you were talking about 10yr olds driving rental cars drunk.

Vs

Should companies sell/provide adult goods to kids??? It's a blatantly obvious rational answer:no.

That isnt anything in the realm of 10yr olds driving rentals drunk, bc no normal human being would give a car or booze to a 10 yr old. What's even crazier is that you think a fuckin ID is necessary to determine that, and not a fucking brain with one brain cell.


Your poll question is also nothing like a 16yr old using a fake ID, or an 18 yr old a fake ID.

providing/selling alcohol, drugs, porn, cigarettes, hand grenades, gender affirming treatment, tattoos, machine guns, magic mushrooms, Covid vaccine, etc. to kids even at the age of 5 years old without parent consent or parent knowledge.

And currently I can go into the store and buy a machete, a 5 gallon bucket, 4 gallons of bleach, a tarp an a few bunjee cords. And nobody blinks.

But they need my DOB to buy a can of spray paint:laughing:

When I was 17-18 I went to Pay-N-Pak and bought two cans of reloading powder and half a dozen pipe nipples. The old lady punching the register said "You boys be careful now. That'll be $18."

I credit the posters that presented anecdotal arguments citing their life in the past where they, as kids, bought cigs at the local store for their aunt/mom/etc. Thank you to everyone that entertained the concepts and ideas behind this regardless of what position you have on the subject.

The law is the way it is for a reason. Personally, I am satisfied with it and I agree with it. For those of you that disagree with the laws as they are, I hope that these discussions at least help you to try and look at it a different way and see even a sliver of reason that makes sense for it. I do not fool myself to think that I can convince you and sway you to change your mind.

We're all going to raise our kids how we see fit. I hope, for all of our sakes, that when we release our kids into that world out there that their pool of potential friends is a better quality than a bunch of kids raised by drunk driving while chucking grenades out the window.

This is so weird that your final conclusion is that you’re uniquely fit to speak for the moral high ground, and from the moral high ground.

Almost like that’s what you do in every single thread.

Seems like such a learned religious fellow like yourself should read Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life. The general premise of it so far is that you’re the only one qualified to fix your life. Thinking that you’re qualified to fix other people’s lives by pushing for control over them makes you a dumb sanctimonious asshole who is unaware that his own life needs fixing.

What I find interesting is you have a very black and white, non nuanced view on people and society. If you don't agree with the laws, then you will be raising your kids to be hand grenade throwing, heroin addicted sociopaths hand sorting scrap metal at 5 all while you the parent are driving drunk and the whole time and not rasing them. I find it interesting, and kind of disturbing, that you default to that if the state doesn't set the moral code through laws, that means people no longer have a concept of right or wrong, or what's better for another human. Now I know you will fire back with some examples of people having kids in cages living in their own shit in a drug den, and ignore the fact that current laws prevented that from happening in the first place, or bring up an example of a 2nd world country like China, or even a 3rd world one with child labor, and compare that to 1st world country's that have moved past that stage of societal development as examples of why we need those laws now. The lack of critical nuanced thought, hysterical nature of responses and straw maning of arguments while at the same time making it sound like you are on a higher moral plane than everyone else is also interesting. At the same time you couldn't even figure out how to hold a garage sale, sell shit on eBay, or wire up a brake controller, but advocate for the least productive and sociopathic people to decide what's good for us, probably requires some self reflection.

I don't think child labor is a bad thing, within reason.

When do we send our children to school?

When they are young, why?

Because that is when they learn the best/most.

So now we coddle them until they are 18, have basically zero work experience and expect them to function in a workplace.

Or worse yet, send them to college to get a degree in transgender basketweaving that takes 5 years to achieve, and pay for their 5 years of partying and screwing around in college. Leaving them with no work experience at the age of 23 and throw them into the world.

We used to be able to hire high school and college students for summer work...and some seasonal winter work. Next to impossible nowadays. And the ones that do get hired really don't know how to work. Not specific to the job, just how to actually act as an employee.

Kids would not work putting cars together, they would be picking chickens at a Tysons plant or the variety of other high skilled jobs that current illegals do. Kids being able to voe? Let's give it a try so we can see what if feels like to have 75% of the populati

Too bad we're not checking ID at the door here, because I feel like I'm surrounded by children and drunks.

Actually, he is right and you are wrong regarding the specifics of your post. :idea:

Look at the survey :idea:

Despite all the raving and giz by the mob here, the majority, even in this loooooooooney bin, believes in "No".

Next - Long cat returns :eek:

In the interest of disclosure, I consider myself a proud flag bearing member of the mob, maybe a giz-splinter faction of it.

I'm not putting forth a position where I, or the state, wants to fix other people's lives. You read me wrong.
These concepts are no different than laws against drunk driving, laws against murder, laws against child abuse.

Preventing businesses from providing adult goods directly to kids is similar to law against child abuse.
It is to limit the availability of things we, as a society, have decided that are adult goods.
If you're against this, then perhaps in your mind there is no such thing that qualifies as "adult goods", but to the rest of society the very definition of such is the very core of why it is a restricted item.

Drunk driving does not always result in harm to another person.

Murder and child abuse DO.

You cannot conflate those 3 examples.

Good point. It's law because while it may not always result in bad, it happens enough to warrant being a law?

good point. Along that slippery slope, we should put age limits on sports, play grounds, and outside. You know because the risk.

I would guess that good outweighs the bad in those things and that's why not.
Although, it does look like certain features in playgrounds have been nerfed over the years.
No idea if that's due to reaction to rise in injuries or kneejerk emotional panic. No clue.
 
The whole debate is about as worthless as you'd expect from the OP. No businesses are actively trying to sell children booze, cigarettes, explosives or firearms but by gawd we need the law to keep it from happening so rampantly. :homer::laughing:

The survey is a literal split of one. And up until today that was the minority so maybe getting abit ahead of yourself there.
