Question:
does anyone agree that anything that hurts a child is wrong?

Choices:
Yes
No
Well it depends
im not sure

 

First off I was joking, but ok. Hell, if anything like rape, abuse, ect. hurts ANYONE it is wrong. How hard is it to figure that out? I mean god damn people, it isn't rocket science. Maybe for some people... but who knows.

Jack Handey is my hero. Well, him and that nice little freshman that picked up my Coke this morning because he was scared I would kill him if I didn't. Where he got the idea that I would kill him, I don't know, but I think it may have been because I told him, "If you don't pick up my Coke, I'll kill you." But really, who knows with freshmen?

First of all, what constitutes a child?

Second of all, hurting a child is like hurting any other human being. It is all relative.

Yes, I think so. But my definition of "hurting a child" runs a little deeper than Sunset's. Sure, a shot from the doctor hurts but it's for the benefit of the child. If a bee stings a child that child will probably forget about it in a week and even if they don’t, it won't traumatize the kid. When I think of someone or something hurting a child I think abuse whether it be physical, sexual, or mental. Yes; that is wrong, without a shred doubt. Child abuse is a problem that I am very concerned and sensitive about. Why do you ask, berryopinionated?

Hee hee hee! Elves!

Look! Elves...and they're wearing ear-muffs! Hurrah for macaroni.

Yeah Stupidity! Let's kill the little *******s! Get the pitchforks!

___If a child pinches another child then children must be wrong! Down with children!!!!

So, if a child falls, the floor is wrong? If I child stubs his/her toe on a rock, the rock is wrong? If a basketball hits a child on the head, the basketball is wrong? If a bee stings a child, the bee is wrong? If a dog nips a child, the dog is wrong? If a cat scratches a child, the cat is wrong? If a child's hand is poked by a rose thorn, the rose is wrong? If a child get's a papercut, the paper is wrong? If a child get's a shot from the doctor, the doctor is wrong?

You're a genius! OMG that is so true! We should take ALL of this away from the world! Right on!
