The Party of Family wants to go back to natural selection, then? Fine. This’ll select for general familial intelligence.
Not really. I guess my son with Ewing’s Sarcoma and a non-existent immune system will just die?
Inb4 “don’t leave the house, lol” — you try keeping a 4 year old indoors for 18 months.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, but mine is that actively choosing not to vaccinate a child against a common and deadly virus when you are able is actively endangering them (and of course others) for no good reason.
Presumably your child with a non-existent immune system is highly vulnerable to pretty much everything, so you are taking extra steps to protect them, like a responsible, loving, non-psychotic parent.
To be clear: I absolutely disagree with these assholes and their reckless endangerment of children, their own and others. I think if they get their way, we should still enforce required schooling but at a (festering) private school at their own expense.
Didn’t mean it to come across as you being a dick—more of me commenting on my frustrations with morons.
I’m relieved. I guess in a nutshell, I was (darkly) musing that if they get their way (and damn the consequences), one of the consequences will be that the stupidity will be strongly self-limiting within a generation.
I’d rather these fuckwits got a clue, but they’ll threaten to shoot you for trying to teach them something, so …?
They don't want your kid to just die.
They want to actively kill him.
because they sneer down their nose at the "flawed", until its them or their children that are "flawed", then everyone must give them decorum and respect because now its hitting home for them and they must always have respect, even when not giving it in return.
