The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“‘Look, if you’re a miserable cat lady, you should not force your misery on the rest of the country,’

The context: ""These children are the future of this country and yet the parents who have them actually have no advantage in our democratic process," Vance said. "They have a smaller voice in some ways — in very many cases — than the people who don't have any children at all. The children who come from these families have no real representative in our democracy. Why don't we change that?"

In that case, the list of those who should have less representation would include all the celibate religionists, gay/lesbian people who don't procreate, husbands and wives who could not conceive, parents whose children were killed in school shootings, people who simply choose not to have kids, ... and undoubtedly many more.

Why no simply deny them all rights and be done with them.
