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.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Do dying people make rational choices?Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostChild labor is different because children cannot be expected to 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."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

**** you, Got mine.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostI doubt that will be a problem. I am capable of getting a decently paying full time job with the education I have right now.
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.""I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

I'm referring to the 21 uninsured man who has a burst appendix.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostWe usually put senile people in homes and most states revoke their voting rights, if that's what you're asking..

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.Originally posted by Asher View PostI'm referring to the 21 uninsured man who has a burst appendix.

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.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

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.Originally posted by loinburger View PostSummer jobs = real world

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.Originally posted by loinburger View PostHow much of your income are you paying towards health insurance?
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.I take it you're also paying your way through college?If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

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.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
