Despite declining social mobility, mke_geek makes a fair point, being born poor isn't absolutely guaranteed to mean that you won't be able to have a meaningful or fullfilling life. I'm sure that many people who are born in remote villages with a subsistence lifestyle, that we would view as living in poverty, are happier than many people who are born in "first world" countries.

Anyway, OP is asking about choices, not situations that are inflicted upon them.

Right, "should I do drugs?" is not a typical choice for a 9 year old to have to make, they should be protected from that. I have heard stories of particularly shitty parents giving drugs to their own young children.

OP is asking about wrong/bad/poor choices etc, the last sentence of their post specifically says it's not about situations that are inflicted upon them.

To be fair, OP is asking about bad/poor/wrong decisions, the last sentence of their post specifically says it's not about situations that are inflicted upon them. No one gets to choose where they are born.

I did realise that it's a specific situation but as the original post didn't have more context, I didn't see why I shouldn't be allowed to suggest some.

If OP wants to expand on the situation, they're welcome to.

I mean, if my friends knew I was a huge fan of the band, were going and weren't like, tickets are £50, do you want one? It would sting.

I live near a village called St John's Town of Dalry and no one says sinjin nor have I heard anyone's name referred to that way.

A quick Google shows that they charged over thirties in the UK double for a premium account.

Devils advocate says that is because older people are more like to have money (people are probably getting a bit more desperate at that age too).

It looks like the policy is revoked tho.

I imagine it'd be the same as printing of a copy of the Mona Lisa and putting it up on your wall for your own viewing pleasure. Completely legal.

Where as printing it off and then charging other people to see it would be illegal.

It does make for a funny story, but yh, probably wouldn't give it to the GF!

I think some people do fucked up shit regardless of what they're taught and it requires a solution that's slightly more complex than "just teach the kids right and wrong".

Whilst I strongly encourage good parenting, you could have the most fucked up parents imaginable and still easily be able to understand why rape and murder isn't a benefit to society.

imo the solution is just not to do anything sketchy, and teach younger people what's right and wrong, so that the problem can get solved with a better society in the future

Ah yes, why didn't my parents or their grandparents think to teach their kids that rape and murder is wrong!? It's all so clear now!!!
