Not sure if they do it deliberately, but there’s like this sorta expectation to sympathize with parents who despite being poor still have children. Didn’t they make a CHOICE though? Do you think they should be solely responsible for making it?

    Parents and children shouldn’t be allowed to starve to death because you’re judgmental.

              Velma avoids answering the question of whether or not she believes in personal responsibility. Because if she does the she would have to apply this principle to anything, including a personal deaicion to raise a kid (by a fullgrown, mentally sane adult, who was not forced into it by any other party such as a rapist). If she is not applying it in this case then she would be a hypocrite.

                As if you deserve a serious reply to that question.

                I don’t frankly give a shit about “personal responsibility,” that’s a moralist framing that has no place in the question of what should be done about disadvantaged youth. You’ve dodged this point every single time for no other reason than to reveal your naked cruelty.

                    Again, I don’t give a shit. “Personal responsibility” is a moralist framing that removes responsibility of society to take care of everyone and blames poor people for conditions they did not choose to be born into.

        As someone else has pointed out to you, a lot of us have been around the internet a long fucking time.

        This pitiful attempt at trolling is laughable.
