[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think comparing indoor dining to gyms is not very fair. Yes, I know "huffing and puffing" freaks a lot of people out, but there really have been very few outbreaks at gyms worldwide. In addition, there are actual health benefits to going to the gym and exercising (both physical and mental health benefits). Indoor dining... not so much.

We're actually comparing schools to restaurants and gyms. You know who isn't getting the health benefits of going to the gym and exercising? School kids! A lot of kids are reporting many of the physical ailments normally found in adult office-workers -- joint stiffness, sore back and necks, eye strain. Because DL treats small children like middle-aged corporate drones. Next time you are at the gym, feeling good as you improve your body and mind, please take a moment to think about how there are thousands of kids in this city who are struggling to find a similar outlet because of the way we have failed to prioritize them.

I would be fine opening gyms before indoor dining... after we open schools. And if anything has to close, it would be fine to keep gyms open longer than indoor dining because they are lower risk... but they should both close before schools, which serve a much higher socialy purpose.[/quote]

Here's an idea.  Take your kids for a bike, scooter, walk.  Your kids can get exercise.  You are being lazy if you think its the school's job when its the parents job.  [/quote]

Hmm. So an adult NEEDS a gym to get exercise, and it's unfair to close gyms (for public safety), but if a child needs school for physical and mental health, tough? How about all the full grown adults currently filling gyms and bars and restaurants take up running, stock a home bar, and learn to cook?[/quote]

If you have a child who needs school for physical and mental health that is YOUR problem. Adults without children owe your children nothing and should not be forced to share in the burden of them.[/quote]

So 99% of people with children should not be parents because most parents rely on schools to ensure their kids mental and physical health. Very, very few parents would choose to homeschool.

Anyway, good luck having a functioning society where only parents who are willing to homeschool, or who can afford private school, have kids. It'll be a fun few years before the whole system collapses. Have fun![/quote]

Sounds like you may want to consider moving to a country with institutions that are more conducive to collective welfare.[/quote]

Do you idiots who say this crap not understand how immigration works?

I’m so curious. What do you think exactly are the steps involved in moving to a country with better welfare?[/quote]
