Monster masquerading as a mother.

greycloud ago

would you send your kids to a school they don't want to go to, to learn subjects they don't want to learn, through methods they don't want to learn with, so that they can get a decent paying job in the future? if so, you are just as big of a monster.

That is an absurd comparison. Surely, you jest.

people are forcing X onto children instead of Y. that is how i look at things. i use letters to represent things and then look again. when the letters are pertinent then i look at what those pertinent things break down into using letters. so for instance schools break down into "teaching subject of knowledge X over subject of knowledge Y" or instead perhaps "preparing for future employment in X over future employment in Y".

in this manner i remove emotional attachment, and i look at the cold hard truth. the cold hard truth is that our society is dysfunctional. the public school systems prepare children to be functional cogs of a dysfunctional system. it does it in a way that the children do not want to experience. this is literally no better than any other method of preparing them to be functional within a dysfunctional system.

i agree with your assessment of society being dysfunctional and your criticism of the public school system, and i appreciate your attempt at logic, but not all 'letters' are equal. making a kid learn algebra isn't the same as forcing them into child porn.

you are right, one takes much longer than the other and is a greater burden. taking a few pictures is relatively quick and harmless.

Would you take nude pictures of your daughter if she were a child? Or allow it?

if it was a legal and viable path to success for her. but i don't think that is a reasonable path to becoming very rich anymore. brooke shields had a rare opportunity to become a star and i don't condemn her mother for doing so.

I hope you aren't a father
