The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Of course. The 10 yr old girl could be raped by a friend or relative in a no abortion state where there are no unisex heads.

I wasn't going to inject politics into the discussion, but if you insist, please know that my politics are quite liberal.

Nevertheless, I still don't think a 50-year-old man and a 10-year-old girl in a bathroom together is a good thing. Bad things can indeed happen elsewhere, and a 10-year-old boy could get raped or "groomed" in a men's room. There is no perfect solution--human nature and our society being what it is, there is no shortage of bad things that can happen. But why create situations that lend themselves to making it easier for victimizing behaviors?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you support legislation to make it more difficult for people to acquire guns (so do I), even though most people aren't murderers and most gun owners don't do harm to others. Why is this different?
