Why do you think your kids should have special protections other kids don't? Because they had the random chance to be born to you rather than someone else you think they should have a different treatment?

Here's a pro tip, I said keep all that, including religious materials out. The attack on education is saying keep the garbage out. Teach reading, writing, arithmetic. Don't teach gender ideology, race theory, religion or sexual orientation.

So your kids should have more what you would consider benefits than other people's? They're all children and they don't choose who they're born to.

Except that the poor reside proportionally in urban areas with public transportation

You're missing my point. I'm saying I don't care how people feel about these topics. Keep them away from my kid. I don't think they should show it to their kids either. But absolutely no way are they to expose my kids to it.

Where I live (Toronto area, Canada), public transport ain't all that much cheaper than car. I would pay about the same amount in train rides as monthly car payments a few years back when going to office all the time.

Here's a pro-tip. School libraries don't show snuff or porn to kids. Most parents don't either. Religion is fine within society, but has no business in public schools as not all children believe in the same God(s) ( there's close to 3000 of them)
Yes, there are a handful of instances of inappropriate content in schools, but that number doesn't justify this full on attack on public education.

Doing it. Versus making a woman orgasm.
One of these is unlikely

That assumes it's fine to exist. Why is it ok to force existence on a person?

Go like Rick from Rick and Morty. Nothing really matters anyway. Life gets so much easier after the realization of this.

If they want to damage their kid, that's their kid's issue (but not responsibility), and is just as much an issue as if a school did it.

I don't think any parent should. But some people are pissed about graphic and pornographic material being banned. I'm saying if they want to damage their kid, that's their issue. Leave my kid alone.

Damn, I didn't see the “or tied for it” part.

Reply to comment by DasHexxchen in At some point, someone thought to ground up the meat of a pig, shove it inside its own intestines, and cook it for people to eat. by greatpoomonkey
Listened to an interview waaaay back with an anthropologist who theorised that sausage was the first "dish", as in a meal with multiple steps, not just "cut it up, throw it at heat".
As you said; t's a way to cook/transport all the little bits of meat that are stuck to bone and small organs, and could have been utilised long before the invention of utensils and bags.

Why are you basing your sense of morality on biology? Lots of animals involve violence in their reproductive process, are you saying violent reproduction is ok for humans just because it's "natural"/
​
Arsenic is also natural, does that make it good? Why do you make nature your metric for goodness?

Reply to comment by StillNotaKorean in No other food falls to the ground more than popcorn. by Captain_Excellence
One kernel of corn and one grain of rice is how those things naturally occur, without being ground up into much smaller pieces, kind of a completely different category, but like this is entirely a silly hypothetical thought experiment so you can set whatever parameters for "single object of food" to whatever you want, you could consider a molecule of soup if you go far enough down the chain

Yep, 1 tied for first in all these cases

I could also be misinterpreting things, in which case pay me no mind.

Why should a parent be allowed to censor/traumatise kids any more than a school?
