When they start to live by the eame standards as the “commoners”. Nothing but more crap from the masterminds.
When you absolutely can’t stand them for another minute.
That is a fallacy. A loving parent is not necessarily the one to say 'no'. It takes a lot of love to say 'no'.
So the argument begins with a false premise. Therefore it is faulty.
What you need are ways of limiting the slippery slope.
The best way to do that is to have legislation that only grants authority to intervene only in carefully defined specific scenarios. You want to eliminate both bureaucrat and judicial decision making as much as possible.
There is still the risk of a legislature passing crazy laws. But legislatures debate things. That makes it far less likely that they will pass laws to take away children because of their immigration beliefs. Those type of errors occur because an individual judge and/or an individual bureaucrat was given too much authority.
For examples like the overweight scenario, you again need objective thresholds and intervention should be conservative as possible. In other words, counseling the parents and the child is called for first. Perhaps even a few weeks with a live-in trainer/monitor to help change habits. Placing the child in foster care should be a last resort. And should be considered temporary until the intervention is showing the desired results.
Conventional wisdom, outside of government, is quickly moving to the idea that high-fat is good and only carbs are bad. This "Libertarian" writer's anecdote illustrates why he should stick to Libertarian principles. Do-gooder Statism only increases suffering while giving the self-satisfying illusion of virtue.
NEVER!!!!
Not ever.
When you send them to government schools.
Once again, the libertardians jump the shark on incest between consenting adults. (see link contained in original post). That is why I can’t take them seriously as a party or a philosophy. They have great gaping holes in their brain matter.
This is why the state regulates sex between relatives.
I will go on a limb here and guess the fat children epidemic in Britain are the result of welfare payments. Lazy parents on welfare in council housing are not going to be preparing nourishing meals. They’re going to fill up on pasties and fish n chips. Plus, with the Brittish streets over run with chavs and skallies no one dare let the children out of the house.
Plus with national health this allows the government complete control over every aspect of your lives in the name of “cost” savings.
I stopped reading right there.
(Loser-tarian Sarvis lost Virgina governorship to Dems. They will never, ever understand that this is a bad thing.)
Far too many judgement calls relegated to her limited experience, coming as she does from a well adjusted family, and a nut job extended family. That would be me.
There are some easy calls, child molestation, elder abuse, incestuous infatuations etc.
The gray areas are huge!
