You had some interesting points. Mayhaps a bit ... tactless. Nevertheless this comment was the most interesting to me:
"You should also be thankful this isn't Sparta, where your child may have been thrown off a cliff for being useless."
#1 Sparta never existed, there is no evidence it ever existed! (There is a 'story' but that hardly qualifies as evidence).
#2 If Sparta had existed you would still have no evidence to support your child fling off the cliff theory. Why? Supposedly they had 0 arts in their culture ... IE no historians no history books.
#3 Lets humor you for a moment ... lets assume Sparta existed. Would you believe anything written about them ... in a story? Is this enough to support shorty tossing theories? I mean we have no idea if this story teller had a agenda do we?
#4 See #1
Again I liked some of your socioeconomic remarks, just not the way you delivered them to a person who probably needed a kind word. Then again who reads a forum and gets offended? I read a story once only drama Queens do that kind of thing but I cannot reference it reliably )
