On: California bill would let parents sue social media...

>> They might be potentially harmful, people should be informed about how they work and possible consequences, but going beyond and restricting/regulating is no-no.

So a child should be able to purchase booze, cocaine, heroin provided they are informed of the risks?

Yup.

Again I'm not supporting any use of substances, but I think everyone of any age or gender should be deciding for their own when it comes to their body.

[basisword → can16358p]

Yeah, those junkie 5 year olds really ought to take responsibility for their actions. I really hope you're trolling.

[can16358p → basisword]

I'm not trolling. Though if their parents let them into situations where they can get heroin, it's the parents that need to take the blame.

That's very different to:

>> I think everyone of any age or gender should be deciding for their own when it comes to their body.

It also doesn't account for shitty parents.

[can16358p → basisword]

Well anyone can decide for their own. But if someone, say 9, wants heroin, their parents should prevent this.

Shitty parents is definitely an issue though I still think we should focus on parents instead of ${potentially addictive service/substance provider}.

Yeah I might have not been clear on my first comment.
