Lola smiles ... Yes it is No wonder people become recluses. It's the only way to avoid the busybody world this world has become. They survived before registers and electoral rolls. We are all proof of that.
True story. That is true whether you like it or not.
"We also survived enough before the polio vaccine." They is another story behind polio, but here isn't the place for that debate.
"We survived believing that material rape wasn't a crime." Presuming you mean 'marital' rape. But whether something is considered a crime or not it still occurs.
"We survived thinking people with mental health issues and learning disabilities should be locked up." Some people with mental health issues do need a secure environment - still applies today. Some other mental health problems may be something that the person with it wants to keep private and not blasted all over the place as some disease that gets spotlighted. They have to deal with the illness, they do not necessarily want it to become the next epic marathon run.
"We survived it being socially acceptable to hit your children." I'm not for beating children, but the cuff around the ear didn't do my generation any harm. In fact when I look at the state of things now and the rampant disrespect, discipline could be revisited.
"Society changes. Right now it is considered socially and morally wrong to render your child stateless and hide them from relevant professionals because of some paranoid conspiracy theory. "
Just because you believe one way does not give you the right to dictate how others should feel or what they deem as right. The system is far from perfect and truth be told it is corrupt to the core.
"Right now it's generally accepted that there is a collective responsibility to safeguard children."
Again, you may 'generally' accept something, but I do not...and may others do not. I don't think people should 'generally' be poking their noses into everything like its their business. My business is not your business and same applies everywhere. If you want to be part of a collective, join or get a membership to some likeminded 'generally overly inquisitive club'. My point of view may not match yours but its as valid as anyones.
"Right now anyone who compares safeguarding children to being a Nazi thought police busybody and shopping your neighbour is probably going to seem a bit paranoid."
To me someone who pokes their nose into just anyones business because they think they are a general collective seems highly treacherous and downright oppressive to me.
I think we need to agree to differ as your views are definitely not mine.
