It works though

@Fitzydog I dont think that is the legal definition of slavery

`Even from birth, the parental ownership is not absolute but of a "trustee" or guardianship kind. `

@EnderOctanus oh, I wasn't ever suicidal for long enough, it was just the hour or so after it wore off

hour or two

@NightOwl lol I've always loved the Libertarian 'baby market' idea. It's so simple 😂

That article reads like its written by a childless academic

adhd meds are meth and cocaine I think depending on what gets picked

I think

I know there are minarchists here so I thought it would be good to link Rothbard

Hmm, I mostly agree with Rothbard, but I diverge a bit possibly

Just a fucked up hybrid here.

I look at it from a contract point of view

Hard for me to look at it in that way when my 2 year-old is stuffing blocks between my toes

By getting pregnant, you've initiated a contract with the child to be its provider until it comes of age enough to initiate contracts on its own

in a sense yes

Ehhhh

It's more like a contract than property owning

As a parent i dont want a 30 yearold layabout

But im ok with helping them along

@MadLarkin That why I said "age of contract", so either 16 or 18, depending on the customs of your locality

so fucking autistic

Even beyond im ok with providing a landing pad for a failed venture, or marriage what have you

Does Cody need a hug?

These are all just made up concepts

You agree to it so it has power

@Cody You do that every day, when you initiate contracts

I DO NOT CREATE JOINDER

the word contract sounds bad

don't use it like that

Contracts are great

You pay a phone bill, right?

i love paying my phone bill

I love knowing that my phone bill won't skyrocket next month

Contracts, consenting exchange of goods for service, whatever you want to call itb

i'm signing a contract with my loved ones and gosh are we happy about it

You mean marriage? Sure
