Yes, there is no difference between the words of Shakespeare, or Toni Morrison, or unhinged posters on DCUM.

PP said NON fiction, not fiction.

That was a typo they clarified later they meant fiction.

Lol my toddler surely would have run into traffic or gotten lost in a crowd, I have no idea why people think a leash is worse than that.

Agreed. My son was in the 99th percentile for height and walked at 8 months. I'm a small person and he was difficult to carry, especially when he was struggling to get down and walk. It also depends on the kid. My oldest and middle were wanderers, whereas my youngest wasn't. If I'd only had my youngest, I wouldn't have understood how hard it is to contain some kids as opposed to others.

That isn't just controversial, it's so ignorant. I have ADHD. Damn, I wished I had been diagnosed in my youth and gotten proper treatment. My life is night/day with treatment.

How do you explain how many more kids have it today? It is SO many more kids and not just because of additional diagnoses. It has to be environmental somehow.

There are as many poor and neglectful parents as there have ever been. You can't explain a change (increased incidence of ADHD) with something that hasn't changed (parenting quality). Science 101.

False. Screens and screentime have increased by orders of magnitude.

And there are many who believe it has negative results, especially for kids.

Researchers found by age 5, children who spent two hours or more per day, looking at screens, were 7.7 times more likely to meet criteria for a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, than children who watched screens for 30 minutes or less each day.

OVER SEVEN TIMES more likely to show symptoms of ADHD!

It was also found the kids that were Not allowed to look at a screen or play video games had such bad hand eye coordination they make terrible surgeons.

You all must have toddlers.

Spanking should be outlawed. Only terrible parents spank. Parents who spank should be forced into therapy to deal with their frustration and anger problems.

I think anyone who stays in a shitty marriage as some kind of a martyr is not all that smart.

Both things are true.

No, not anyone with a divorce is damaged goods. Are you really going to say that to a person who was cheated on, for example? Or a person who was physically abused?

Yes, something is wrong with that person's judgement for marrying a person that would do that to them. They made a huge mistake in what was probably the biggest decision of their lives.

And then they are damaged goods for having been cheated on or abused. It's an awful experience for them that of course has negative impacts.

And women are asking to be raped by wearing provocative clothes, amirite???

No, they are not.

Everything until now is controversial except this is just plain objectively incorrect.

Ok? Correlation is not causation. You have screen times for your high schooler?! I doubt this!

After the kids are grown 80% of married people would jump at the opportunity to divorce if it was not for finances and wanting to avoid awkward holiday/celebratory moments.

If people had enough $ and could be guaranteed an amicable divorce the divorce rate would be 80% for empty nesters.

Also most are lying to themselves when they say they are happily married.

Google the research I just grabbed the 1st result. I’m not saying let them play 24x7 but most surgeries are done with electronic screens and video games help.

If you are at a place with a pool, you should have to turn in your phone. No matter the age, if you are there and your child are swimming, you should be watching your child. People who use lifeguards as babysitters should lose their phone and their children.

And provide evidence of financial viability and stability. Not saying you need to be rich or even middle class. But you need a stable job and a decent apartment that you pay for yourself, and with enough of a buffer to also pay for childcare.

This is a terrifying opinion. The government should be in charge of who can and can’t have children. That’s what you’re saying.

Sorry, I don't want my tax dollars paying into subsidized housing, WIC, subsidized child care, food stamps, heating and cooling, etc. all because some poor lady wanted babies.

They already are, though

Yeah I know. Which is why I said what I said. People should have to pay for their own offspring and not foist in upon taxayers.

Do you also think only people with superior intelligence, blue eyes and blond hair should have children and everyone else should be sterilized?

Nope. I just don’t think people should ask for a handout to pay for their own children. Anyone can have kids…as long as they don’t expect the government to support them.

I assure you the kids I’m talking about will not be anyone’s surgeon. They will be lucky to graduate HS.

Coherent argument is privilege. Check yours.

How is coherent argument privilege? Shouldn't we all try to speak/write/think in ways that don't contradict other things we speak/write/think? I would say coherent argument is a goal, not privilege.
