I've sometimes joked about the "Red Green Daycare", but I never thought....

I don't believe I said that, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Everyone has an opinion - just as everyone has an %$##%$&@##. Well - you know the end to that, don't you? And don't you know that things aren't always what they seem??? Please don't twist my words into meanings that were never stated. I stated my views, but NEVER said that other people's were wrong, and I did say IMO/JMHO in more than one post on this subject.

Ok, I apologize. I wasn't trying to twist your words.

Thank you, and let me apologize for being so snippy. It was not my intention to argue with anyone, however you just pushed the wrong button. I have very deep-seated reasons why I see red when anyone says I said/did something that I didn't say/do, and it stems back to my childhood. Some things I guess we can never let go of completely, and that's one of them for me.

No need to apologize-the reason I didn't post about that picture is that I also have deep-seated reasons for seeing red at a such a distasteful picture, if nothing else it shows a lack of intelligent judgement for someone to even think of doing something as stupid as this and finding it funny. You'd better believe how many morons will get ideas from seeing this.

LOL. I wasn't apologizing for my views on this subject - they remain the same. I was apologizing to Sowa for snipping at her.

I perhaps could have been clearer - this pic was posted on a Cheezburger site called "Parenting Fails". In that context I found it amusing because I knew it was not to be taken seriously - and the site managers would have contact info for the posters if they had concerns. If it was posted in another context, I too would wonder!

[sparks19]

yes I too understood what previous posters meant... I just don't agree

and that's A OK

I don't think this photo is going to create child abuse. the people who are going to abuse their kids are already doing it... I highly doubt anyone is going to stumble upon that photo and be like "HEY this would be a great way to abuse my kids.". Will some idiot see it and maybe think to try it? it's possible but I still don't see it causing any real harm to any real children.

I am also not a fan of punishing people because other people are stupid lol. I'm not going to not do something because someone who is stupid might see it and do it incorrectly. I think we should take all the warnings off labels and let the "stupid people" problem take care of itself rather than trying to protect these people from themselves lol.

On a serious note though... I just don't see this photo causing any future abuse of other children. abusers will abuse... no photo is going to make or break that

No point so far made has gone over my head. Just an FYI to anyone who thought differently.
