From the way you are speaking so arrogantly to everyone on this forum, it is not clear which side you support. Are you one who thinks the little darlings can’t do anything wrong and shouldn’t be restricted for the actions of others? Are you one who thinks every young person out late past an arbitrarily determined time is up to no good? Go ahead…tell us.

53% also asked “Are you really that crazy or do you just sound like you are?” am not crazy (because I don’t have papers). However, if desiring a life like the founders of our country, who wanted individual liberty and to deny governments the right to interfere and run our lives is crazy…so be it.

I prefer a limited government that knows its place. I do not agree with a curfew. I agree with punishing those who break the law-juvenile and adult. I do not agree with a government that tries to run every facet of our lives. I am for individual responsibility; whether that individual is an adult or a juvenile.

And, finally, 53% told me “SW: break away and form your own government based on your perceived superior values and culture?” Political entities, i.e., cities, counties, states, and nations are founded by like-minded people who think their lifestyle, culture, morals, and values are superior to those whom they break away from; even neighborhoods generally reflect this attitude. Why would it be such a big deal of the people of certain parts of cities, counties, or states decided to break away and create a place that more embraced their ideals?

“…teens out roaming…”?

It’s very interesting how the words people choose can paint such a clear and unflattering picture of them!

If for no other reason, they would be much more safe at home in their own bed than out possibly being tempted to do something they, and their family, will regret
for a long time to come.

Think about It.

If you want to have a debate, I’m there.

If you want to call names, I’m not.

Nope, it has no effect on what goes on inside your home. It only affects what happens when you or your children leave your home.

Again, I’m not saying it is a good idea or a bad one, just not in your home.

David for clarity

I have 5 children ages 17, 16, 9,8, and 6. My 17 year old has to be in the house no later than 10:30 unless he is accompanied by his girlfriend’s parents or ourselves. Same goes for my 16 year old…. So I’m not sure where you got your facts about who supports what. I support this because a lot of parents don’t know where their kids are, and don’t really care. I would rather group them all under a curfew then have the juvenile delinquents terrorize the city. I understand you said “most people of older age age”, but most people understand that sometimes these rules need to be enforced for the well being of the majority.
I think it’s a good thing. Even with a large family of 5 kids, I would support this fully!!

Are you really that crazy or do you just sound like you are?

The people who support this curfew would rather penalize ALL kids for the transgressions of the relative few. They are quick to lump ALL kids into “vagrant” group. Most of these people are probably older and don’t have school age children. They view all teens as a threat to civil obedience.

The people that don’t support this are people whose children are well-behaved and respectful (ie, the majority of them), and wonder why THEIR kids should be restricted when they are not a problem and never will be.

Can you guess which faction has my support?
