Re: Are you a Caveman?

How can you give "rights" to those unable to fully comprehend the results of their actions?

Oh hello, Laplace's Demon!

Nobody is able to fully comprehend the results of their actions.

Nobody.

Not you. Not me. Not anyone. No matter how much power in their hands, or how many doctoral degrees. Nobody. You are asking for an impossible standard, and, I suspect, intentionally.

I suppose if young kids demanded access to alcohol you would see it as their "right".

In the case of Dissident, straw man.

But yes, I have been drinking since I was 5 (not continuously, silly), and I turned out all right.

I doubt children see themselves in the position that slaves were at the time.

Well, even slaves didn't see themselves in the position that slaves were. That, I think, was his point, too.
