  • Its because they genuinely do not care about anyone but themselves.

    If someone was layed off, that’s too bad, find another job slacker. Someone ran over by a car, they shouldn’t have been in the way. Someone shot, that’s a bad neighborhood. Someone shot by police? They should’ve followed orders better.

    They do not comprehend that there is more to things than just cause and effect because of the doublethink that has eroded away their critical thinking skills.





  • I think equity would be better in all circumstances. Necessities such as food, water, housing, medical needs, and transportation all vary from person to person.

    As far as i understand it, equality is a quick and dirty average, but equity addresses individual cases. Equality would be like giving all people the same food rations but equity would be able to factor in dietary restrictions as well as nutrition for different lifestyles.












  • That’s reasonable. It’s a good idea to have additonal protections and if you have the knowledge, something like a pihole can go far.

    In a perfect world the parent(s) would know the needs of the child and adjust. Curiosity should be encouraged but the guardians should be the ones to prepare the kids for the world, as far as home life is concerned.

    Access to porn and gambling is impossible to guage the best age for granting access to in the legal sense; it’s a different situation for everyone. That’s why it really should be up to the guardian to dictate when is appropriate.

    Unfortunately, instead of teaching with an open mind, what gets passed on usually is the parent’s frustrations and dispositions. To even things out, I also think public education is helpful, but that’s a different topic.


  • This is all dumb. If you’re worried about kids surfing porn sites then the legal guardian should act accordingly. There are so many methods to blocking porn sites that it’s almost hilarious. Web filtering; most ISPs are able to support website filtering on their supplied gateway or DNS. Parental controls on device; most devices come with opyional locks built-in at this point especially if it’s aimed towards children.

    Sure, it’s not perfect but it’s better than removing yet another layer of web anonymity. We see how well browser fingerprinting is going, let’s not make it easier to track who is browsing where than it already is. But that’s the real point behind these bills, isn’t it?

    Edit: I guess I was ranting mainly about the porn, but honestly, these are all things that parents should be aware of their children doing. If it’s an awareness issue, then that should be the next step. The government going straight from “oh there’s a problem” to “let’s make it illegal” without trying to raise awareness is extremely heavy handed.
