A child who chooses to do wrong makes this choice only because the actuals of some adult took the right choice away from him.
Has this person ever met a human child?

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Hil, that site has more nuts than a Costco-sized jar of Planter's.
Doing wrong requires a choice to do wrong, and human beings, given true freedom, will choose right.
That's assuming that the idea of what is wrong and what is right is formed outside of societal constructs, which it can't be. The very premise of "wrong" and "right" has no meaning in a vacuum. Morals aren't the same from one society to another; how on earth can he come to the conclusion that human beings will always choose to do what is right given true freedom (whatever the hell that is)?

OK, the same search that got me to that site now got me to an article about a family with six kids (ranging in age from young teenager to baby) who went backpacking through China. Much less head-explody.

Breathe, MM. I can't have you dying on us now.
Was that overly cynical of me?
It may have been, especially if you look at the actions of our God-fearing and altruistic presidential administration. They've always done right; it's the rest of us who believe that the Constitution isn't a piece of toilet paper who've done wrong. And boy, do they let us know....

Me, too. What universe is this person living in, and can I raise my children there?

Hee.
OK, a bit head-explody in the logistics. Not so much in the "Whuh? But...huh? Really?" sense.
