Report from the Children’s Liberation Front: The little bastards refuse freedom. In fact, Johnny is outside the door right now crying for his oppressor to let him back in. Mommy sure knows how to infuse that Stockholm Syndrome.
Shut up and get in the car.
Ha! Now that’s some funny damn shit right there. 
Worse still, the government is depriving them of their second amendment rights.
Vive la révolution! Arm the children!
He’s not long for this board either. Raving meltdown coming in 5-4-3-2-1…
It’s there to show you the way of God. Even when we are adults and see what you stated in the OP we are usually still spiritually young. We will follow and respect any demon, any spiritual authority figure (such a a pastor, news commentator, head of a terrorist group or a political leader), we will even support them and do their work getting involved in their campaigns.
As we mature spiritually we see that they don’t have good intentions and were not worth putting our faith in and start looking within.
The reason why God makes it so clear and obvious in our physical world when we are children, is because that’s our state in the spiritual world and we are taken advantage of just as much as physical children are in our world. It realizing it in the small step of a physical child that allows us to see it in the bigger picture.
So that false imprisonment is nothing but a lesson taught to us by God, without it many will never realize that they are still imprisoned in other peoples ideals.
I kinda liked my parents, the adults and authority figures in my life when I was a kid. In fact, I couldn’t wait to grow up and become one of them.
I have been assimilated.
Nor have you.
Sometimes I think that we should stop having kids read J.D. Salinger in high school. One shot of Catcher in the Rye and so many kids lose their imagination trying to turn themselves into Holden. (I thought he was a twit when I read it at 14.) It depresses me to see so many kids think that following his manufactured angst is significant of something or another. There are so many more imaginative ways to experience teenage angst.
No more bla bla bla!
Or didn’t you get the memo?
You are a giant dork.
Hell, I *still *resent all the adults in my life ordering me around and telling me what to do, and I’m in my fifties.
Dude, it’s OK to participate in threads that you didn’t start. Get your feet wet before jumping in head-first and people will tend to take you more seriously around here.
I, for one, welcome our new parental overlords.
I don’t think I’ve ever started a thread here.
But then I’m not here to ask questions.
I love that moment when you read a thread title and are immediately hit by a vision of perfect psychic clarity: “This person has a join date of this month!”
Wait… this was serious? I thought it was a too-far-over-the-top-to-be-funny parody.
As an ex-youth pastor, I’d like to point out that if we find any parents who believe this, we mock them ceaselessly. To their faces.
Granted, there were some genuine insights in there, but buried by sanctimonious twaddle.
I’m just glad you didn’t post “that false imprisonment is nothing but a lesson taught to us by God” in the Faith-Based Molestation thread.
No, he’s serious. Pretty much all his posts are like that.
Isn’t he great 
It’s worse than that-between 7:05 pm and 11:16 pm(PST) he started 13 threads. Poster child for Attention Deficit Dis…Look! A puppy!!
