    According to the United States, it’s appropriate to imprison children for delinquency that is things that are criminal for children that are not criminal for adults.

    So no, I have little faith regarding what my society decides is right for kids.

      I have no idea who you got from what I said to what you said, and I don’t want to.

        The notion that some things may be inappropriate for kids is easly misused when it’s turned into a principle and as such we end up where the US is now, withholding civil rights from children and using child safety to push identity politics.

        I do hope you are not a parent.

          I wish we have restrictions based on mental capacity rather than age. Fucking dimwits aged 40+ can’t think better than elementary schoolers

          I hope you aren’t either. You probably try to make everything into a political diatribe.

          Actually, I hope you don’t have kids, because you are clearly not a parent, regardless of whether you’ve been able to spawn.
