That souns like the kind of argument I've heard about from DUmmys.

You seem incapable of logical thought. Are you saying that as a parent I would have no right to prevent a school bus driver from doing this with my child on board?

Association fallacy/Appeal to authority

Are you saying that as a parent I would have no right to prevent a school bus driver from doing this with my child on board?

Yes. Even as a parent you do not have the right to control everything that might said within your child's hearing. Such a right would ridiculously difficult to enforce, and would interfere with the rights of thousands of others.

You seem incapable of logical thought.

Your sensibilities on this matter appear to be in error. First of all, even apes are capable of some form of logical thought, and even some members of D.U. Though I infer you meant my ability was below normal (in order to lend emotional support to a losing argument). It is actually quite above normal, as almost anyone who knows me personally can confirm. I have always scored in the top 1 percent of standardized tests on logic, have a in B.S. Mathematics (because I was a lazy student; it was one of the easiest majors for me), and have ended up writing computer code for a living, with a particular flair for logical algorithms.
