Parents

[Lone Wolf]

Well this thread is to debate about parents in general. How much power you think they should actually have over you. Or should they not at all?

This thread was brought about by the genetic engineering thread partly, but this is a more general one.

I think that parents are guides for us and that we should honor their desicions.

But that parent's in return should show us the respect we deserve.

I agree mostly, bu I also think parents should have slightly less rights over us, otherwise we won't be able to become a true individual

parents have rights over us to tell us what to do but what they say benefits on us

Both of you are right in some way, but they should lessen their grip on us as we become older, allowing us to become more individualistic with our own rights and opinions. We are all smart enough as to learn from our mistakes, therefore, they should let us make them. If we are truly mature, their ideas might sink in, but they can't be too rash with punishment saying "this is what we deserve."

Completely agree. Obviously think they should allow a little more independence as you get older, but for the most part, i completely agree with you.

. We are all smart enough as to learn from our mistakes, therefore, they should let us make them.

Not true AT ALL.

I give my parentsthe upmost respet, well to as large an extent as I can.

Thy have raised me, properly aswell, Im a good kid, I respect everyone and thing around me. I work hard and I know a fair amount and I thank my parents for this :P

Any possilbe genetic disability that I have I dont blame on them either, just saying :P

My only anti would be they make me do so much >_<
Im always doing some kind of thing, if its somethign as petty as letting the cat out, to washing up, sweeping, hoovering, doign the grass etc.

and in a n argument also its near impossible to share your thoughts and points.
Now and then they will say, "Do you think we are being unfair" but I reply no, cause they will just keep nagging >_<

I think parents deserve all the respect in the world dfrom their children, but should not take advantage of their authority over them.

I hate to say it, but parents should have full control until you move out of the house and are on your own.

The feed you, they give you money, they completely do everything.

SO

until you get to a certain age, or some circumstance, parents have full control till you get out their house/their rules.

yesir.

That is, certainly one way of putting it.

I don't think they should have full control of us, as we have a free will. Our youth should be a time to take a taste of the world, so that in our adulthood we'll have a clue of what we're going into.

Parents should provide restrictions, yes in a general sense that is true to the point, but entangling us in their web of rules will keep is from the truth of the world.

Parents have what is best in mind for their child, and usually what a parent thinks out of love is not always the right choice. In a way, they would be closing us in a small little world.

Aye, we should honor them, that much I agree, but as our responsibility increases with age, so should their grip lessen.
