Labor Dept. Banning Farm Chores For Kids

[Free Thinker]

Quote from RCG Trader:

This is all good FT, and maybe I am too close to this situation, but I gotta ask, on a family farm, what business is it of theirs on how they grow their produce?

My standard argument of use of public services does not even apply here. Many farms are off the power and water grids altogether, and county roads actually cut thru what would be considered their land.

How can the government tell them what to do?

the government has a right to ensure the safety of workers. you dont see a problem with numbers like this?

"Nationwide, a child is killed in an agricultural work site every 3½ days, and 41 young people suffer serious farm injuries each day, according to data through 2009 from the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety."

the enemies of liberty at work, emotional arguments about safety in order to control.

we need to ban homes, one of the most dangerous places to be according to stats. free thinker has a got a government program to keep you safe in his gov't shelter

Sounds like we need to ban farms altogether.

Sure, I'd go to Peoria for that skeet shoot off with RCG. Of course, I would probably need to take some extra time to give him safety training in handling a firearm.

if there is a rash of children killed in the homes of rednecks like you something will need to be done.its up to you to police your klan so the government does not have to step in.
forcing children to work with heave machinery that they do not have the intellectual capicity to understand the danger of is a form of child abuse.

*Amazing isn't it? RCG makes repeated claims about being in the army AND being a crack shot. Yet he left little doubt in recent exchanges that he knows little or noting about firearms. He is lying about his marksmanship, being in the army or both?

*He repeatedly boasts about his ass being on the line while serving.
Yet when pressed admits he never came within 1,000 miles of a combat zone? Was his original claim embellishment or an outright lie on his part?

*He repeatedly claims nurses don't perform enemas. Yet with a quick search it turns out that nurses DO in fact perform enemas. Was he lying (AGAIN) or does he not know what nurses do to begin with? Ergo he probably isn't a nurse to begin with.

*He claims that flying an aircraft is easier than driving a car and he knows this because he took flying lessons "many moons ago". 1)Apparently it wasn't too easy as he was never licensed and 2) he later claimed he had never had flying lessons. Which is true, which is a yet another one of his lies?

*In one thread he's talking about joining the Tea Party, later he claims they're all racists. Mental disease of some sort or drug abuse perhaps?

oh yes it's a 'rash of children'

Forcing people to live under rules like this, made by people like you without the intellectual capacity to understand the concept of liberty, is a form of abuse

If you stupid communists want to live in your government utopia then go do it and leave others alone

I don't suppose you would believe that I was raised as a black child?

I went looking for "The Jerk" clips on Youtube to post that scene, but I couldn't find a good quality one of it!

That was a pretty funny movie back in the day.
