Wanted to reply saying that the consent giver must be able to fully understand what they are consenting to - which children (or animals) are not. but I think this is what you mean by informed consent.

Still posting this, because I think this is an important aspect and it's worth hammering it home

So, becoming an outlaw would change nothing for the better. Quite contrary actually. Police could go even worse on you without any consequences but now you would also have to worry about everyone else being able to fuck you over with zero consequences for them.

And yes, being an outlaw would mean you don't participate. Why would society grant you benefits like providing service that cost a lot of money (e.g. infrastructure) while you sit back and say "fuck you, give me your shit"

Isn't great power a defining property of a god?

And the swastika was originally a religious symbol in Eurasia.

While true, it is a pointless fact that contributes nothing to the discussion as they are commonly used in a different way and understood by everybody. This is nothing more than derailing a discussion.

Yeah that's true. As long as there is good transit, everything is fine. That Hitler guy built the autobahn. Must have been a great leader.

TIL that requesting proof for outlandish statements is debate pervetry. But I guess I take your advice and will block trolls like you

Could have just said "no"

Body odour is - thanks to deodorant - very much a choice.

You are right, air travel is no fundamental right. Same as air travel in complete silence.

What about ugly people or people with body odour? Do we not allow them to travel on planes, too? I can easily block noise with earplugs. Can't really plug my nose or keep my eyes closed all the time.

Why is everyone else responsible for your comfort? Wanting all families banned from airtravel just because wearing earplugs is asking too much is in my opinion a lot more selfish than bringing a child onto a plane.

The thing is, the internet does exist now. And it is part of the world kids grow up in. So the question is not what someone thinks what the children will miss. They will not miss anything because they will have friends who will show them what the internet is. The question is: who do you want your kids to learn from what the internet is and can do?

From you or from their peers
