Hillary: Advertisers Want To Put Chips In Kid's Heads

[GotZoom]

Did anyone even read the article? If you did, then you'd see that when read out of context, the quote from Hillary makes her seem like an idiot. When read with logic, Hillary does have a very valid point. Companies are producing products that have harmful side effects which their advertisements are directed at young children who do not understand the consequences.

Seem?

She needs to stop picking on corporations and start talking to her "village" about doing what is right for the kids and actually saying the word "no" to them from time to time.

People are free to make choices when they buy, aren't they? That's what a free market economy is based on. I believe, that with children, parents can say "no" to products that they feel are harmful to their kids. Unlike some curricula in public schools, parents are in control.

Her rhetoric falls in line with the "corporations are evil" mindset. I wonder if she has something up her sleeve like increasing the regulation of commercials. More government regulation and control, for our own good, of course!

My feeling is, if that what she's up to, no good can come of it.

If you, Karl, support free market economy, then by association you support selling harmful products to young children. Many parents are dumb and give their kids everything they want. This is an easy way out of actually discipling their children, and the only ones who are harmed are the children. Advertisers of the companies selling the harmful products are taking advantage of this, and will stop at nothing to pressure the kids to desire these products. This results in the kids whining/crying/bitching, eventually the parents buckle and the kid gets what they want(a videogame and a twinkie).

Parents are the problem, but it's much easier to make the companies change than the parents.

BTW: Hillary is usually on some idiotic tangent that has no common denominator with society, but this time she actually makes sense.

Would you like an opportunity to edit THIS statement, as well - before I start my compilation of "really bizarre Charleston Chad statements"? I can wait a few minutes.

And you posted it TWICE, yet!

Are you a parent?

Are/will you be dumb and give kids everything they want?

Do/will you find it easier to buckle to your kids whining/crying/bitching and then giving in?

i can't parent so make the companies do it for me? no wonder you think hillary makes sense....

Parents are the problem, not the companies. If you don't want to try to get the companies to sell healthier products, then how do we make the parents say "no"?

Selective ignorance. Do you do this consciously?

No

No

No


I have seen MANY parents do this, which is why I said what I said.

You are a prime example of whining/crying/and bitching

CC, you seem to be making the assumption that supporting the concept of a free market economy is the same thing as supporting greed. A free market economy means that people can make informed choices about what they consume, not a government bureaucrat. Soviet Government bureaucrats decided what and how much to produce and the results on that country's economic system were catastrophic.

Many parents are dumb and give their kids everything they want.

Actually, I could also say many voters are dumb and uninformed and political candidates will promise them anything they want. So, should we take away the right to vote? Of course not. Freedom requires responsibility.

This is an easy way out of actually discipling their children, and the only ones who are harmed are the children. Advertisers of the companies selling the harmful products are taking advantage of this, and will stop at nothing to pressure the kids to desire these products.

I could also say the same thing about government officials who will stop at nothing to get power, so they contrive fantastic doomsday scenarios e.g. Bush is trying to kill senior citizens, or Bush's veto of stem cell research will set western civilizaiton back 500 years (I heard that someone made that claim on CNN!). My assertion is that the government should not be given more authority over our lives. We should be free to make informed choices, then take responsibility for the consequences (that is also my definition of a "grown up", if you ever have kids, feel free to use it when you explain things to them! ). Yes, some people are bad parents, in fact bad parents have been around since time immemorial. Are we going to set up a government agency to teach manners to kids too?

This results in the kids whining/crying/bitching, eventually the parents buckle and the kid gets what they want(a videogame and a twinkie).

My mom and dad had a simple cure for this. It was called "the back of the hand across the mouth". A lot of parents did it when I was a kid. Child abuse? Certainly! But it helps to raise a generation of adults who learn to delay immediate self gratification for the good of their future (like saving for the future)

Parents are the problem, but it's much easier to make the companies change than the parents.

At the cost of jobs exported to India because of over regulation, the price of goods and services going up for the consumer and the standard of living going down. There's no free lunch CC, every choice we make has a cost (I tell my kid that one, too. Feel free to use that if you ever become a parent! )

BTW: Hillary is usually on some idiotic tangent that has no common denominator with society, but this time she actually makes sense.

Well, I have to say I agree with you .... Hillary is usually on some idiotic tangent. We do, however, have laws that require advertisers to make truthful claims about their products and give warnings. I believe that is more than sufficient. Unfortunately, government programs aren't required to make truthful claims as to their effectiveness.... now THAT I believe would be a good law!
