What's so bad about that statement? Raising children is a tough task. Maybe it's not so much the statement you dislike, but the people behind it.

the problem is that part of the people in the village have morals/ethics diametrically opposed to your own, in which case you don't want scum bags like that influencing your kids as they grow up

You can't shelter your children from everything. If your kid grows up NOT knowing about something/certain aspects of life/people who think differently than you, what are they going to do when they grow up and DO encounter those things?
People raised in a bubble end up growing to be uncaring jackasses from personal experience![]()
I think you're missing the problem. IMO, this way of thinking leads to couples having children before they're able to raise them on their own. They figure it's just SOP to slough the kids off on grandma & grandpa or aunts & uncles. If not family, then dump 'em in day care. They're under the impression it takes two full time incomes to get by these days. Chanting that slogan just makes it seem more the norm.Originally posted by: FoBoT

I don't even take the statement to mean that. It bothers me because it is very patronizing and has no real meaning.Originally posted by: Zenmervolt
The only real opposition I have to the statement is that it implies that the parent is not responsible for the child. It's the old "It's not the child's fault, he just fell in with bad people" thing again.

The modern day, that is politically correct, interpretation of the 'village' is what Hillary Clinton defined it as. It is BIG GOVERNMENT. They know better than you do how YOUR children should be raised. If you think different, well, just go to jail! The gospel according to Hillary.:|

* pro-choice (women making own reproductive choices)
* opposed to John Ashcroft's attempts to block Oregon's twice-voted right-to-die law?
Just curious whether you follow the conservative party line or have a consistent set of beliefs.
