Child Soldiers and Child Prostitution

This issue of children being forced into military service is absolutely absurd. There is no way that Children should be allowed to fight in combat, much less be forced into it. A child should be given the chance to live a life rather than give his or hers so soon, for such a petty cause.

As for child prostitution. That's just immoral and wrong. It should be outlawed and completely irradicated. :evil:

Child military service? Child prostitution?? That is just sick! Why are people even thinking of having something like this? Our children shouldn't have to see a war, since a lot might not even know what it is. And child prostitution? This basically means we are allowing pedafiels to have our children for money. Just ban this BS!

They are banned aren't they? I'd be very suprised if you found a nation that said child prositution is ok!

My nation relies on child soldiers to invade neighboring nations.

And hazardous occupational labor. Who else is going to remove asbestos from old buildings.

And all the children who are left after those jobs are full are janitors... that work for far below minimum wage.

Illaria notes that of the 6 responses before ours, only 1 of the people has more than 5 posts at this point in time. (and albion's was merely a "it's been done already" comment)...

While fresh nations are welcome at the UN, emotional outcries about things which have been voted on or already in progress are not so welcome.

Comments like "BAN IT BAN IT BAN IT!" do not promote intellectual debate, but instead an orgy of raucous, meaningless noise...

We agree wholeheartedly and suggest you check the current topic about the proposal to ban child soldiers, which also deals with other issues relating to children in war, such as human trafficking and sexual abuse.
