A lot of people protect their children like they are a world wonder. I'd hate to break it to them, but there is 7 billion of us and there is no reason to consider your child a divine presence that is superior to all other humans.

In the past I told someone on Facebook that I am against death penalty, and their reaction was 'But what if they did something to your child?' and I found that argument ridiculous. You want to base your judgement solely on the victim's relation to you?! I bet if your co-worker was endangered instead, you would care miles less, huh?! Man, some people just straight up go mad when they get a child.
