"Yet you continue to refuze to sign for a ban on children being allowed in swimming pools and cars."

"Parents take on the role of evaluating risks and benefits for their children. It's inevitable for young children, and becomes more a matter of controversy as they get older.

If in fact no one engaged in sexual activity with a child without prior advance written permission of both parents, a vast majority of sexual abuse would not happen as such permission would rarely be given -- and rarely asked for, as applicants would realize the likely outcome."


Non sequitur.

Clearly, they are evaluating risks and benefits wrongly. There is no reality in which swimming is a required life skill. ( True, it may save a life in an unforeseen accident the same way that cliff-climbing skillz may too. ) But its in no way a necessary activity. And, unlike sex-deprivation, is in no way linked to long-term emotional and health damage nor the potential extinction of the species.

Bans on pools and on non-professionals accessing oceans and lakes has zero cost AND saves more lives than an AoC.

And since none of your arguments about parental agency can't be countered with your arguments about future regret, its not something you would allow if anyone else presented it to you.

Goethe has you beat on the "my kid my rules" front, and the kid's libbers have you beat on the potential harm front ( so long as pools are legal. )

You've got to get a coherent worldview together, so that your ideas don't self-contradict. Unless, of course, its just about saying whatever might sound best in the moment regardless of logic.
