Poor Jonathan Swift, keeps getting beaten like he was a hobo on fire...
EDIT: HA! And that comment timewrap trumped the OP! Only one more thing to accomplish and then I can wander off and die...(I set low goals...)
The recent spate of 'spanking' threads has brought up the issue of, well, bratty or ill-behaved infants. From the arguments advanced, it seems a good proportion of children behave poorly, especially today with the increasing negligence of parents. This situation is obviously a serious one, and is only serving to increase the crime rate, and aggravate the difficulties of governments and states and corporations in controlling their... uh.... resources.
However, this is not all. The 'think of the children' argument so favoured by economic and social conservatives implies that a vast number of things we cannot do without in the modern world, such as pornography, guns, alcohol, sex, television, and my dividend, are harmful to those under the age of 13. In addition, all of these children seem to be nothing more than a burden, to the parents who are forced to take care of them where they could be slaving away even longer hours in my family's factory.
I therefore propose:
1) An outright ban on all individuals under the age of 13. Anyone found to be in this group will be arrested and taken to a re-education facility for up to thirteen years. Special re-education facilities will be built for this purpose.
2) Heavy fines upon anyone who seeks to introduce more such individuals into society.
I would appreciate NS General's opinion on this modest proposal.

I don't have a newsletter. All I have is a blog where I denounce the bloody foreigners and non-Whites coming into America and taking our jobs and education, amongst other things.
TROOOOOLLLL!!!:eek:

Wow, the sheer volume of satire vs. taking the wrong things seriously vs. sarcasm vs. misunderstandings about whos taking what seriously is just mind-boggling.
Who has taken anything seriously in this thread?

EDIT: Wow, this thread is a mess...

All I can see is the satire, the sarcasm, and ... that's it, except for CToaN/WYTYG's little, uh, side discussion.
