I am not in favor of prohibiting 16 year olds and younger from working on their family farms. and lol at there being an issue about "pay issue". Maybe you have a fucked up idea about what a family is. I don't know. The prohibition I raised was about prohibiting kids from working on their own family farms. While your question might be intellectually stimulating and more complicated that you suggest it is not the issue I raised. Generally I would not be in favor of prohibiting kids from working on their neighbors farms, but I bet you can think a situation that would be stupid enough to say, "whoa that shouldn't be allowed."

Are their families currently required to pay them for the work? Or are you just in favor of banning them from working for free?
Do some kids need to be protected from their parents? Sure. Should rules and laws be made based on the assumption that all kids need to be protected from their parents? No.
Obama and the Labor Department tried to push the government into people's private lives and failed miserably. He's is a bad man.

That actually seems fairly reasonable to me. That being said, I'll trust the Obama administrations decision to not implement the policy based on constituent feedback.
Your research is faulty. Not surprising and not surprising you would not have a position and that you would trust Obama to make the right decision. -
I love both gin and wwoo, but it gets really tough on those of us who blocked killingbird when you keep quoting his drivel.

I'm super confused. I honestly don't know which side you are arguing for here Willy. I think Obama made the right decision to continue to allow children to work on farms (obviously a simplistic description, but you know). And you seem to think Im an idiot for agreeing with his decision to do so. That would lead me to think you are against children working on farms (as you stated in an earlier post) but then you kind of seem to babble on about the labor department pushing in to peoples privates lives, so although I think we actually agree on this issue I'm not sure what you are arguing about.

seriously mods ban this fat fuck. The irony of it all is he was the one bitching about spoilers in the GoT thread and he subtlety places a spoiler in an Obama thread. I've really taken a disliking to this guy lately.

although i will say i don't know what's more annoying...ppl posting spoilers or the ppl that quote them and verify it.
I thought dolphin was just trolling at first but then when i see ppl quote him and call it out as a spoiler that just verifies it for someone who hadn't seen the ep yet. Just watched the ep; and yea what he posted was true. What a douche -
