I'd wager he's about 30.

He sure loves to tell everybody how special he is compared to other millennials.

How well has experimentation in different scenarios, such as single parenting, same-sex parenting and/or transgender or transvestite parenting worked? Maybe we should experiment on chimpanzees first. See how well-behaved the chimp is at the age of 14 in the home.

As a Buddhist, I know that. I'm talking about the American historical statues being taken down.

The mentality is the same.

As long as the parents are good parents. It'll work.

Again you still call this experimentation. Great way to dehumanize these groups and their kids.

How about my suggestion that nontraditional couples experiment with raising a chimpanzee in their own house, no cages except maybe at night, from infancy through age 14 or 15, and see if the teenage chimp is well-behaved and well-adjusted? I would rather experiment on human-like animals before experimenting on human children.

No, the mentality is not the same.

In one case (the Buddhist statues), they were blown up...destroyed. And they weren't there to be revered (at least not anymore) since the area was clearly Muslim oriented.

In the case of the Confederate statues they were taken down, preserved, and eventually will mostly end up in a museum or some other appropriate place.

I know that you traditionalists never want anything to change. But people's mindsets do change, and the statues of Confederate "heroes" were mostly constructed at a time when the KKK was in resurgence. That's no longer true. And today's society is not as accepting of such reminders of the past.

No. It's a constructive suggestion.

We're talking about humans here, not chimps.
