Man busted by traffic camera gets unique revenge on police department, page 6

reply to post by NOTurTypical

Although I'm not planning on having children in the foreseeable future (because I'm enjoying my life way too much to take on such a time consuming responsibility, but I can see the other joys it would bring), I have thought about how I would raise them. I would start with the truth about the world. I would treat them more like a friend than a child. I'm sure its likely they wouldn't be born with any psychological problems that make them feel pleasure from mutilating animals or killing me in my sleep.

If you have children do you think the only reason they don't kill you in your sleep is because it is against the house rules!? If I have no respect for the laws of the land what do you think is holding me back from going on a murder spree? I'm sure they would grow up looking at me as a role model and adopt nearly the same moral code as me due to genetics (my GF is a sweet heart) and watching me. Of-course there are some things that a child can't understand or is not ready to understand so there would be certain rules and discipline.

I disagree that the world would fall to chaos. I actually believe the opposite. The world of today is pretty chaotic, a large part (IMO) is due to people not being accountable for their own actions, something I do not advocate. This is something that is terribly easy to do when mindlessly living by rules set by others. IMO another large part of the chaos comes from all types of religion, which seems to generate hatred and war against people who are different. It has been going on since man first developed superstitious beliefs to explain the unexplained and declared war on anyone who might challenge those beliefs because a religion is only as "true" as the amount of followers it has. Humans will forever seek to reinforce what they believe, a great way to achieve this reinforcement is to have lots of people believe the same thing. I believe that if what my opinion of the truth is was widely believed then the world would know a lot less suffering (there was recently a thread on ATS showing statistically how religious countries are a lot less peaceful, for instance). I'd be teaching my children that we are all God and that we are all one. It is difficult to hate someone when you think like that. Of-course I would not tunnel vision them and encourage them to think for themselves spirituality. And that life was not intended to be as serious as most people make it out to be. Some of the happiest people I've ever met know that they are God.

By the way if we were going to pull out the logic cannon I would ask why you feel the need to tell your God how to do his job (through prayer), as if he didn't already know?

You and I may find those acts disgusting, but hey, who are we to judge others who are just fine with them in their personal morale code??

These acts are going on today all over the world, I don't think the law is doing much to prevent them.

Speed limits are for everyone, if you have trouble getting to your destination in the allotted time, then LEAVE SOONER.

They are not for me, I don't buy into it. I have the freedom to decide how much time I'm allotting to what.

If it was perfectly okay for everyone on the road to drive based on their own person preferences then the roads would not be safe for your wife to drive your kids to soccer practice in the family van.

IMO it is perfectly ok. The majority of drivers that attempt this however would end up with very heavy speeding fines, in jail, or upside down in a ditch. Good enough drivers should go for it though. The reality is the majority are always going to obey the law of the land so it is not something that requires much concern. And what I've been saying is that wifey in the family van with screaming kids that takes twice the distance to stop IS the problem.
