But its so true! Being good parents is giving your children a competitive advantage. So glad I was brought up in a house full of books. Stupid to say its unfair, though.

Nanker Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 "Mr Swift told the Daily Telegraph the idea of evening the playing field by encouraging all parents to read to their kids was not discussed." Of course not. The Progressive idea isn't to raise the sea level. It's to bring down the bar to the lowest common denominator. Next up - two parent families will have to pay an extra tax because by staying together they're unfairly advantaging their children to the detriment of women who get knocked up and the father(s) of their kid(s) take(s) a hike. It's just not fair, I tell ya. It's just not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
