, 13:12, September 1, 2008→The Liberal Notion that Authority is necessarily Wrong
:Toffers, you are the incorrigible [[Liberal]]. How you can claim that authority is ''neccesarily'' wrong, I do not know. We [[Conservative]]s hold that freedom of thought is essential: seek truth from facts, not leftist dogma, and challenge authority when it is seen to be in error. But authority as neccesarily, as intrinsically a Bad Thing? No! [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 09:04, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

::I don't see much freedom of thought in this list - just teaching a kid a series of absolutes and prohibitions. The entries on teaching them to think for themself, evaluate situations and come to their own decisions were deleted. [[User:Sideways|Sideways]] 09:09, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

:::They are not prohibitions, they are freedoms. Freedom from disease, from pre-marital pregnancy, from ruined education and ambition, from addiction, crime and untimely death. Discipline, and self-discipline, is the doorway to freedom and should be embraced. [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 09:12, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Would voting buttons be a good idea? My vote would go for "develop good habits", I like that one. After the "fun to decide" one - I wrote that, so obviously it's brilliant :) --[[User:Toffeeman|Toffeeman]] 08:39, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
