[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the posters that say "I walked x miles and crossed x streets alone when I was age X and survived, so it's ok for kids today to do it." Consider this: The kids that didn't survive aren't here to present the other view. [/quote] Think about that every time you get on plane/train and especially when you put your kid in a car which is dangerous![/quote] Yep. That's why we use car seats. Kids used to not do that either. [/quote] Kids in car seats die too.[/quote] Wow you must be an idiot. So do you reject car seats too?[/quote] I agree only to a point. If you know today that children riding in a car with a car seat (which are not fully t I reject the idea that a kid in a car seat is safer than a kid walking to a neighborhood park made for kids.[/quote] You've entirely missed the point here. Entirely. The point: People who claim that because they did something and survived, therefore it is fine for the next generation to do it, are completely overlooking the fact that the kids from their generation who didn't survive aren't here to make the counter argument. [/quote] I agree only to a point. If you know today that children in car seats (which aren't fully/appropriately tested yet) are less safe than walking to neighborhood park alone, then why give a pass to parents who drive their kids but not to those who let them walk around their neighborhood. By the way, my family STILL lives in the City of Detroit, and don't see that as less dangerous than SS.[/quote] Who is saying that a kid is a car seat is less safe than a kid walking to a neighborhood park alone? That's ridiculous. Put your kid is a car seat and go. If you'd rather them walk to the park, WALK WITH THEM. [/quote] Must get back to work now. Will have to save the creationist versus evolutionist debate for another time.[/quote]
