>- then don’t let them? Why do you need to make it illegal for everyone else?

I'm sure my abusive step dad would have liked to make me go get a better paying job then the one he forced me to take at the bar where he gambled illegally so he could steal the money I earned and gamble some more when his ran out. I mean that bar wasn't even full time and it paid hardly anything, if I was operating power tools whooaah. Hell he could have probably had me go work for my uncle with him learning to weld! yay.

>Better than sitting around and playing video games,

and gosh darn it much better than reading books which I did all the time to piss him off.

>IMO more likely to get injured in sports like football than operating a power saw.

Or getting shit thrown at you for reading. Probably better to let those kids go out and get a good paying worker job to help support their struggling families that can barely afford beer and drugs!
