lol, well the whole impetus behind this plan is that we have to stop pretending the average parent is going to raise their kid well.

We need to do it for them. And that's where I and others like me come in.

We certainly value those who do, but the quicker we forget the parents can help at all, the better.

Oh, the unmitigated gall. You have yet to say one thing that makes me think you are capable of raising any children. Go adopt a couple of kittens.

I don't know about her but, there is something distinctly off-putting about a young adult male wanting to hang out and gossip with middle school girls, and even take them out dining on the weekends. It makes my creep-o-meter scream, hence a guttural reaction of ...ew.

Taking people out to eat is a normal thing that teams use to help build trust with each other.

There's nothing unusual about it.

So it's a natural application here.


And why is it off-putting? I think that is the way I can help them.

If I truly believe that would help them, I'd be a hypocrite to not do it just because someone doesn't like it, right?

You really don't get it, do you? So I'll be blunt. Much of what you describe and the attitudes you express are reminiscent to what pedophiles do to groom children to engage in inappropriate relationships with them. It is creepy.

18 pages without any support for your ideas, and you keep trying. Here's a suggestion; write a book, and see if anybody buys into it.

But that's just a talking point.

Much of what those sick people do is try to clone trusting behavior.


Are we going to alter our definition of trust just to differentiate ourselves from them?

Much of what anyone describes and much of anyone's attitudes with making friends are what those people do to kids. Does that mean we should stop making friends?

I thought of writing a book, but I wouldn't want anyone to steal my amazing idea.
