Your comments about people's merged DNA just happening to create children is not the experience of most families, and smacks of a frightening scenario of government control.

At least the logical connections between my thoughts can generally be identified.

If I want to characterize someone else in a particularly nasty way, I'll generally offer something to support my claim.


If a kid gets whacked on the butt to keep him/her out of traffic, a good thing has been done.

I didn't say it wouldn't have (and I don't think that the dissenting judges would have disagreed either) -- in fact, if you'd bothered to read the background information I provided on this case (links provided in this thread), you'd have noticed that I addressed that actual very point, among others.

That is quite a different matter from allowing a blanket exemption from criminal liability for certain people to use force against certain other people, subject only to "guidelines" issued by a court (arguably as obiter dictum, i.e. not binding opinion, it seems to me off the top of my pretty informed head), for "correction".
