Quote by: Technosoul You and Ron Paul might advocate child labor but I do not. That is why no one would vote for Ron Paul except for heartless people, and we do not need those kinds of people having an influence.

You're suffering from the influence of all those liberals and so-called "progressives" who from the early 20th century decided to change the very nature of American society by forcing children to attend government indoctrination centers instead of learning a trade.

Why don't you just use the real name "public schools" instead to typing all those extra letters for that title that sounds bad? You know what I mean, try to sound a little more like a human being instead a cold hearted dictator.

Because "government indoctrination centers" is a more accurate description.

But banning child labor (other then for family businesses) prevented the abuse of children, and the schools then provided them with options to seek other kinds of work, instead of being forced to follow in their parents footsteps, which offers liberty and freedom of choice, so when they reach the age on consent they can be a banker instead of spending the rest of thier life milking cows on papa's farm.

Throwing out the baby with the bath water, eh? Learning a trade (as kids did under an apprenticeship) gave the kids what they needed to take their place in society as adults and earn their own living.

Your plan is fine if you want another great depression like they had in the 1930s, but I think most of us can live without that happening again.

There is no connection between children learning a trade (or, for that matter, working in a factory) and the Great Depression.


And, returning to another part of the topic of this thread, John Edwards is still more of a woman than Hillary.
