This was intended as a PM to CM, but I sent it to the wrong guy. So I'm posting it here.

I was there. There was nobody that i saw that looked like a kid. were there 17 year olds that had fake ID cause they wanted a job? Maybe. But there were definitely no school kids running around there. I would give the pope a pass on this. Compounding the issue, was that most of the work force were foreign born, not your typical american. As such, it is more difficult (for me)to properly assess their ages.


Mais non!

If believing child labor should not be used is "progressive" then I am proud of it.That makes me feel warm and cozy inside knowing that never happens.  ::)

You don't like our laws? I am sure you can find the door.

If standing up for the rights of children is imposing my values on everyone else then I do it proudly.

I feel like you are lecturing me. What's the next lecture going to be on, women? I am sure you are an expert on how they should be treated.

So regardless of desperate these 17 year olds are desperate and willing to work, to the extent that they will obtain false documentation so that people like CM can't stop them from doing what they (and many other reasonable people) believe might be best for them, CM will proudly impose his opinions and values.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I thought 16 was the minimum age to work?

So now your claim is they were all 17 year olds? Do you care at all about facts?

I did not claim they were all 17 year olds.

But go ahead and stick to the details and facts, while ignoring the reality of the situation.

I believe in child labor laws. That is the reality of the situation. Not sure what your issue is.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”

While the law might not agree, if a 16 or 17 year old wants to lie and deceive their way to employment then the onus is on them.

Then we get in the argument what about 14 or 15? How about 12 or 13?

Welcome to modern political discourse. People cant have a nuanced discussion because you framed it as being pro or against child labor laws. Now anyone arguing with you is on the side of being pro child labor! What monsters!

Not at all. This all started because I correct a member that the company pleaded guilty to child labor. It snowballed from there.

I am with you on this one. The issue is that if we also prevent the employers from being able to enforce the age restrictions then the employers cannot be held culpable. We therefore need the regulations preventing their enforcement to be repealed.

I wonder if the snowballing you mention had anything to do your refusal to acknowledge that the guilty plea came from the new owners and your seeming insistence that having had underage workers was necessarily an evil act committed by SMR regardless of his being found not guilty on the matter and regardless of the inability of the company to do anything if someone comes with ID showing that they're old enough.

Show me one post where I said the guilty plea wasn't from the new owners. What I didn't know is if the other guilty plea was from a new HRM. All indications point this was not a new HRM. The only reason I brought this up was to show child labor was used. I said it before and I will say it again. When it comes to child labor I cut no one any slack. You don't agree and that is fine.

Did we ever get an answer to why the Rubashkin's refer to prison as "a place called prison"?
