      Currently every politician making a name for themselves will frame anything they can in any way they can. Words have little meaning lately so you just say whatever the fuck you want and worry about the angle later.

        It’s just embarrassing for people that this works on. So stupid.

      When I was a kid, my mom was outraged that somebody made the statement, “children aren’t their parent’s property.”
      So, yeah

      In ancent rome there was a law,that went something like “you cannot sell your son into slavery a third time”. Americans would see that as a violation of parental rights

        Third? The fuck did someone do to cause that?! Was there some dude who sold his son into slavery and then said son got out of slavery at least three times so the Romans had to pass a law to keep that from happening again? Why do I get the feeling Crassus was involved.

      part of the conservative ideology is that children are property and should be molested, not heard.

      Of course! Especially those from the party that wants crops to be picked, but doesn’t want anyone who would actually do it to exist or survive in our country. And because the term “child labor” in general is unpalatable to most people. For good reason…
