Things that I really like (3 Viewers)

I disagree, it is misguided government interference into young people's lives, a better plan would be to educate young people with techniques to help them cope with 'offensive' influences in their social interactions.

Think back to when you guys were 15, would you have wanted the 'government' to interfer with your personal life? They will just find ways to get around the 'ban', making the situation worse.

It's just another example of the increasing 'Nannyfication' of society, harden the ef up, life can be tough, you can't outlaw 'bad things' happening to you.

Meanwhile, the under 16 year old death rate from ebike/escooter accidents increases on a weekly basis. Surprise Surprise, who would have thought scooters capable of 80 Kph would ever be a problem on the roads :unsure: 🤪
The government prohibits children from smoking and buying alcohol. Arguably that is government interference in their lives but the good kind. Drug and alcohol addiction is nothing compared to the addiction to cell phones. Every single kid under the age of 18 that I know or see is on a cell phone. They would stay on them all day absent some parental intervention. It is an addiction. One with profound negative implications for society. At the very least, they should be banned in all schools to give the teachers a fighting chance to teach.
