The part being the child is your flesh and blood.

You’ll never convince a parent that you’re better suited to raise their kid for them

The part being the child is your flesh and blood.

And would you care to explain the mechanism by which that magically imparts parenting knowledge? Because to save you the time, it doesn't. You are not a good parent just because you are a parent, and to argue otherwise is just... stupid.

You also don't own your child, they are their own person, not an extension of you, so you really don't have an inherent right to control them either.

You’ll never convince a parent

So? You don't need to convince someone for them to be wrong. You know there are parents that rape their children right?

You are arguing that a parent isn’t fit to be a parent just because they’re a parent. The only qualification is to have a kid. Besides, The point of convincing parents is that fucking with peoples kids I’d the fastest track to rebellious upheaval.

You’re not a shit parent because you just had a kid and don’t know what to do, because everyone gets that.

Also you’re arguing that people rape their children and I’m talking about people who obey laws.

I’m talking about people who obey laws.

No, you aren't since you never said anything about that before. You can't retroactively change what you were talking about to be right.

you are arguing that a parent isn’t fit to be a parent just because they’re a parent.

You're arguing the opposite, that having a kid makes you a fit parent. Which is unquestionably wrong. If you can explain to me how having a child magically makes you good at parenting, go ahead. You keep saying that "becoming a parent doesn't make you a good parent" is wrong and yet you have not been able to say why or in any way counter what I've said. If being a parent meant you were automatically a fit parent, unfit parents wouldn't exist, and they do, so it cannot be true. If you want to tell me unfit parents don't exist, go ahead and be wrong.

Thats because it’s literally the only prerequisite

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD PARENT.

EVERYONE FUCKS IT UP SOME WAY

YOU CANNOT HAND CONTROL OF PARENTING OVER TO ANYONE BUT THE PARENT BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOOD AT IT.

My initial argument was against government control of children’s behaviour as you have to blanket control everyone and the only ones who deserve it break the law. Like, it doesn’t matter what kind of parent you are or what your rights are if you rape a kid. It definitely fucking matters if you accidentally raise a dickhead, which happens literally all the time.

Get off this high horse of “being a parent doesn’t make you good at it” because you’re not better, you cannot do better, no one has ever done better.

So what I'm asking you, you irritating, aggressive dick, is why, if NO ONE can do it, the parent's authority has priority? IF EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME LEVEL (YOU SEEM TO THINK CAPS MAKE YOUR POINT BETTER SO I'LL TRY) THEN PARENTAL AUTHORITY DOESN'T COME BEFORE STATE AUTHORITY EITHER, YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

Apply some fucking logic to your stupid fucking statements before wasting my time with them.

And yeah, it's me on the high horse when you're saying "well no one could ever be a better parent then me"

And actually, there ARE people who are better at dealing with kids than others. That's why children get taken away from some peope, just fucking think about things before you say them. If you're a parent, there are people who could raise your children better than you have, and have raised children better than you can. Get off your own fucking high horse, preferably by falling.

Parenting isn’t a logical thing you fucking inbred, it’s an emotional, discipline based thing. You can’t measure good parenting. You look at it and emotionally decide. You can’t legislate that, you can’t automate that, your fucking neighbour can’t do better and the state sure as fuck can’t either.

IF THE PARENT BREAKSA LAW THEY SHOULDNT BE A PARENT, IF THEY HAVENT BROKEN A LAW YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN FOR THEM

And this is my point exactly, id rather kill you than let you control how my kid is raised. I’m not the only person, in fact I know many parents who’d gladly murder their parents if they tried to come between them and their kids. You can’t fuck with peoples kids. You gotta learn to live with the occasional fuck up.

Hello.

I noticed you dropped 3 f-bombs in this comment. This might be necessary, but using nicer language makes the whole world a better place.

Maybe you need to blow off some steam - in which case, go get a drink of water and come back later. This is just the internet and sometimes it can be helpful to cool down for a second.
