Sadly, and devastatingly for the parent/child relationship, there are such creatures out there. As my dad said when I confronted him about it as an adult with kids of my own, "I guess I wasn't thinking. I couldn't help myself".
Once I had my first child I was holding and rocking him back to sleep after a late night feeding and I forced myself to imagine doing to him what my father did to me and it completely wrecked me. I just lost it. It was utterly impossible and horrifying to imagine doing that to any child, let alone my own. I thought it might help me at least gain some insight into him, however feeble, but it didn't... it made me feel an even deeper burning hatred for him and what he did. Pedophiles like he is are simply defective and need to be kept away from children lest they succumb to their urges.
Isnt it true that the "society" has dug its own grave ?
Where were the freedom of speech defenders (aclu et al) when the progressives and policians in that spectrum celebrated shutting down opinion by effectively monopolies of information (twitter, FB, google, cc infra)
Why is there no common ground? When speech is shut down, no matter the side its on, the net winner is the state.
Frankly there is no room for bipartisan support of anti security state.... Until and unless there is recognition of section 230 enabled abuses that are still ongoing.
Obviouly 230 should not apply uniformly to every single website, but thats the kind of nuance that is missing from the current debate.
Our family of 5 lives in a certain state where politics are very one-sided.
The Census tried to move heaven and earth to contact us. We avoided them like the plague.
Imagine my surprise when i heard that our state had lost a house seat, due to being 80 people short of the required population count to keep its prior state house seat apportionment.
By avoiding the Census, we were able to change the machine of bureacuracy far better than by regular voting.
Sometimes the winning move, is really not to play.
This is something that really upsets me as a father to multiple children.
Is it even possible for a biological father to do this? I've been meaning to google but I'm afraid of seeing the results.
I always assumed this would be limited to step parents, but Im afraid the truth is darker than i thought possible
