What non political controversial position do you hold?

Kids should go to school in a classroom, 4 hrs a day. They should work on a farm or otherwise outside another 2-3 hrs.

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.

Why not? My tax dollars support stuff you so that doesn’t benefit me at all. This is the cost of living in a society that provides services.

Also what happens to somebody who gets pregnant but doesn’t have what you consider enough money?

DC should charge a large fee to MD and VA to enter the District (like London’s congestion fee). I’m tired of out of state people speeding through my neighborhood.

White shoes before Memorial Day is still a no.

I hate grass lawns in yards. Passionately. Lawn grass is not native to the US among many problems.

100% agree on children being charged as adults. It makes me sick when it happens.

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.

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

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.

Oh 😂 I am talking about people who think they will be able to set screen time for their teens. Absurd. My kids have no limits on screen time beyond the other forces that control their lives, like homework, sports, going out with friends, or music lessons. As long as they maintain a 4.0 (or super close to it —no Cs), they can play as much PS4/switch or watch YT as much as they want.

I think surrogacy is gross and exploitive.

Completely agree. Their mental and physical health would greatly benefit.

Kids as young as 10 should be granted independence to roam in packs with zero supervision.

Underwire bras should be banned.

Guidance counseling should include individual and group therapy mental health services offered during school hours.

Picking crabs should be easier. I don’t love the journey.

No child should have to be in bed before dark.

Long days of sunlight are awful. Sunset at 5:30-6pm is ideal, but 4pm is way better than daylight until 9pm.

Lawn signs are stupid and I judge everyone who has then regardless of what platitude they express.

Right but unless you’re surgically sterilizing someone against their will you can’t prevent someone from getting pregnant. As I said earlier, IUDs are easy to remove yourself. You could cut out an implant in your arm. Also birth control just fails sometimes; so what happens when these people get pregnant against the government’s will?
