Responsibility for access to adult content needs to fall to the parents of minors, not the companies. I’m so exhausted seeing parents responsibilities being shirked and placed onto other entities/people.
My son, 7, gets so upset with me and my wife because we are so unfair, because we don’t let him do/watch/play things his friends do. He’s 7, he doesn’t need to be playing Call of Duty, he doesn’t need to be watching inappropriate content, he doesn’t need access to TikTok, and so on. I’m forcing my kid to be alienated from his friends because the other parents are allowing children to access things they should not be accessing.
I’m getting all worked up on my soap box, sorry. That wasn’t necessary.
I get what you’re saying, but it’s not a black and white situation. Drugs and porn are not the same category. One will have life-changing effects, the other usually won’t.
Plus, parents have the ability to mostly control a child’s access to inappropriate content, as well as tobacco shops.
It applies in the real world and the Internet on a case by case basis depending on the inherent dangers of the content.
There are other self-defense options as well. Lethal firearms could be entirely replaced by non-lethal. If you actually need it for defense, you can still defend yourself with it, but you’re going to have a hard time using it for murder now.
You could argue that this would increase the amount of defender deaths because they couldn’t neutralize the threat 100%, but it would drastically lower lethal firearm related crimes. Gotta weigh the options.
I’m all for self defense at a distance, I don’t want to have to risk a scuffle. If someone invades my home in the night, I don’t want to have to fight them. I want them stopped asap with as little force as possible for the safety of everyone, including the invader.
If he’s caught (which I think will be soon) this is a great way to guarantee the maximum sentence. If he’s not caught, he gets to spend the rest of his life hiding and afraid. Either way, the public wins… but I’d rather see him in prison.
These situations make me wonder what I can do to help these people out. Besides echoing my frustrations, there’s nothing I can do except vote, which clearly doesn’t matter anyway. Well, I’m not a local, either, but hypothetically…
It makes me want to become a vigilante but that’s a poor choice, not that I’m even capable.
