    AMIRIGHT?
    Child labor is different because children cannot be expected to make rational choices. We've arbitarily set the age at which we expect them to make rational choices at 18, but the notion that non-adults cannot ably make decisions has been the common wisdom since time immemorial.

      Do dying people make rational choices?

      You've decided children deserve protection. This is a moral call.

      You've decided that people don't deserve basic health care by virtue of being people. That's a moral call too.

      The difference between countries like Canada and countries like America is Canadians have morals, while Americans just like to pretend they do.

        Of course, a degree from CMU should roughly double (or more) what I could expect to earn at the moment.

        A quote from someone looking at my credentials at the CMU job fair a few weeks ago:
        "Wow, I would have expected this resume from a junior or senior. If you were graduating next year I might hire you full time."

          We usually put senile people in homes and most states revoke their voting rights, if that's what you're asking.

            I'm referring to the 21 uninsured man who has a burst appendix.

            His "rational" choice was to go to the hospital and have his life saved. And also to take on absurd amounts of debt.

                This is my step brother. He literally had his appendix burst on the day his mom and my dad were getting married. Still has hella debt because of it. The temerity to keep on living in the face of death, just like a poor person.

                  I don't think loin is quite familiar with my credentials or my employment history. It's pretty ****ing impressive for a college freshman. And my ability to get jobs is not hypothetical. I've managed to find work every summer for the last three years without much difficulty.

                    Summer jobs = real world

                    I take it you're also paying your way through college?

                      That's not what I said. I do however have plenty of evidence that I could find a full time job right now if I wanted, and my ability to do so will only increase by the time I graduate. Go ahead and insult me all you want. I'm perfectly confident in my employability, and the opinion of an internet troll and dickgirl enthusiast isn't going to do much to change that.

                            Since Obamacare dictates that children are on their parent's plans until age 25, none, and as long as the law is in place I'm not sure it would be possible to put any towards it even if I wanted to.

                            I take it you're also paying your way through college?
                            None, but I know for a fact that if I had needed to I could have, since both RIT and RPI offered me enormous scholarships. It's true that I couldn't have gone to CMU, however.

                              Then it's little wonder that you're devoid of empathy. It's like a case of silver spoon Asperger's

                                I think it's amusing that y'all seem to believe I got where I am without a lot of extremely hard work, what with comments such as "silver spoon". I don't know what about "three summer jobs" implies lazy and spoon fed to you, but whatever.
