Hey, guess what! Those kids you're raising, they're not yours, either! They belong to the "collective." At least according to this MSNBC host.

Is it a good or a bad idea to try to influence the values and ethics instilled in children whose parents are unable or unwilling to do it themselves? Unfortunately, there are children out there who, through no fault of their own, are in that situation. Does the community bear some responsibility, or obligation, to take up the slack?Boss and Captain both tried to influence Cool Hand Luke - how did that turn out? He just never did get his mind right (which represents buying into government sponsored thought). Captain represents the all knowing, benevolent liberal government that hates people that don't buy into their bullshit. Boss represents the government hacks putting the stupid ass policies in place. Cool Hand Luke represented principled conservative resistance to oppressive authority. (Naturally he ended up getting shot)
More to the point for the non-altruists: ultimately, wouldn't it be better for the community to do all we can to ensure that children are raised in an ethical, law-abiding loving environment, in order to maximize the likelihood that those children will become good, ethical, law-abiding adults?
Unlike the silly old man, I'm not real concerned that the state is going to come and take my children. More bizarre, unwarranted paranoia from Chicken Little.Originally Posted by timpage
Cool Hand Luke no more represents conservatives that he does liberals. You are starting to sound more gay than JD. Originally Posted by WTFPerhaps if you ever actually had sex with a real hooker, you could do a review. Are you to scared to go see one, afraid they might bite?
