As we know government and private are all susceptible to abuse and corruption... we humans are clever things lol
I also dont like the idea that I'm forced to help by government either...
Unless we are willing to cull kids that have inadequate support, speaking entirely biologically it is better for us to ensure those kids grow up with the health and education to be productive members of society.
Otherwise we almost ensure they will grow to be wards of the state, either due to welfare or the justice system.
There's a lot of truth in that, and that's the struggle, where is the happy medium 😏
Id rather the justice system take care of them than waste money on social programs just to have the justice system have to kick in afterwards
But why not avoid the justice system entirely? Create contributing members of society?
Social programs dont do that
Youth programs do. Head Start, for example, has good data. So does school lunches. The youth programs are the success stories.
Boy scouts should be boys only end of story change my mind
I'm actually not going to try with that one
I don't think anyone here will take that bait
I was on 37% battery anyway
I'm a believer that there are differences between boys and girls, on average, and having spaces for each to develop independently while also ensuring they can relate well to each other is a good thing
I am a woman married to a woman and we have two kids, a boy and a girl. We have ensured our kids have male role models that they interact with all the time. Our son considers my dad his father and we've embraced that. My dad and my son talk about stuff my wife and I never hear about and that's a good thing.
I know. This browser Discord takes some getting used to. I'm also not the worlds best typist. 😿
I use mobile mostly
I do too, but I'm even slower at that. I didn't grow up with smart phones.
I used to be extremely slow

Don't you mean wamxn?
good point

Sigh
I vote for pragmatism
Fuck passion, let's get some shit done
Indeed, passion as a driving force alone is almost entirely worthless.
If I had a dick the idea of a bipartisan ticket would give me a hardon :p
But I don't like those policies. I don't think they're effective or good for the nation.
Compromise is bad?
Therefore, I do not want to make these positions prominent or encourage their growth.
I didn't say cooperation and compromise is bad. I'm saying that these specific policies they're promoting under 'moderation' are bad for the nation.
Just because something is proclaimed to be 'moderate' doesn't mean it's better.
I swear if these two run an independent ticket I may get politically active again for the first time since 1992. Between Never-Trumpers and Third Way Dems, it might be the only path to a successful third party
I never claimed it would be the truth, Jasse
Okay, but if you do that, don't do it because it's moderate. Do it because you believe their policies are the best for the nation.
I simply claimed that it might be the best way to heal a sharply divided nation
