May 19, 2011 at 19:32 comment added Ernie Here's the trick though. Any parent who would want to give their child a gun, would also be the sort of parent who would already have firearms in the house, and as such would already be knowledgeable about where to start (like a pellet gun would be one place to start, as is traditional). I deeply suspect that the thread in question is in fact actually a troll post intended purely to stir up controversy and flame wars. Trolls often are interested in pushing boundaries and bending rules and arguing that what they're doing is legitimate, and well within their rights.
Apr 10, 2011 at 20:29 comment added Jonathan. @John, however wouldn't you be disturbed that a parent was going to drug their child? And do you not think that freedom of speech is less important than the safety of children (talking about drugs here not firearms)? Also wouldn't the legal departments of the country, like child protection services be concerned that this site is encouraging parents to [seriously] mistreat their children?

Apr 10, 2011 at 13:47 comment added Jonathan. @John, so the topic "Which drug should I introduce my child to first" would be on topic?
Apr 9, 2011 at 1:23 comment added Gabe @Javid: "Bike, trike, or scooter?" or "When to take off training wheels?" would probably be fine. "Which kind of bicycle?" seems more appropriate for bicycles.stackexchange.com/search?q=children
Apr 9, 2011 at 1:13 comment added J.J. @Gabe - You're boat analogy is complete different. The child would not be driving the boat. A better analogy would be, what type of bicycle should I buy my child as a first bike. Would you vote to close out that question?
Apr 8, 2011 at 7:23 comment added Gabe I don't think that adding "for a child" should automatically made any question on-topic. Is "What kind of boat should I buy to take my child on?" on-topic just because it involves children? Strollers are a child-specific topic (there's no difference between "which stroller?" and "which stroller for a child?"), so the stroller question is not off-topic.
