@darlingstrawbie While I don't agree with how they're responding, I completely agree with their sentiment. There needs to be a hard line where we do not give at all.
@darlingstrawbie As unfortunate as it is to say, I honestly believe your opinion needs to be obliterated in the public square on this matter. So called "grace" god us into a lot of this issue. Only firm handed cruelty can get us out.
@darlingstrawbie I don't even mean this in a hateful manner. How are we supposed to get anything done in the two years left if we're gonna handicap ourselves at every turn?
@darlingstrawbie Not gonna say anything too extreme or anything like that, but this literally is suicidal empathy. How are you supposed to define being an American if we're going to constantly blur the line based on people who have unfortunate circumstances.
People who say parents that whoop their children need to break the cycle really need to understand that sometimes the whooping is what is breaking a different cycle. And it broke it so well that the entire generation doesn't even know what it is.
