    Never ceases to amaze me how this country has children as elected officials.

    Could we please please please stop talking as if children are the worst? Everytime somebody misbehaves, there’s someone who calls it “childish” instead of “stupid” or “wrong”.

      She is exhibiting childlike behavior you would find on a schoolyard. What a weird thing to get hung up about.

        I agree, you could find it on a schoolyard.

        But it’s not weird to get hung up about it, consider my angle: By talking like this, we’re defaming or decrying children. It will lead to less self-determination for young people in general, thus promoting the gerontocracy.

          Children are not expected to be in full control of their emotions. Children are not expected to be experts in any field. Children are not expect to create laws for the country. By comparing them to children, we are saying they do not have the mental maturity to handle their respective duties. Which is a perfectly reasonable way of putting it. Children should never be in charge of anything important. They should be figuring life and themselves out before their soul gets caught in the gears of capitalism and is crushed for its value.

          LOL you are being oppositional for its own sake. There is no issue here, you’ve just flat out made one up.

            No, I was arguing in good faith; But I see it doesn’t resonate with you at all, so i’ll just leave it.

      I bet you let your children scream and cry in restaurants and run around annoying everyone during public events.
