Teaching your children your own morals is laudable. Making laws according to your personal morals is not. Beneath their true capabilities? Excellent. Illegal? That's not a judgement call. Many things are illegal that should not be.

Why, you would approve of your children aspiring to be prostitutes when they grow up?

No, but if one of them did I would voice my disapproval once, and make sure she knew that I loved her and she was welcome in my home regardless. If she did make that choice I would be happier knowing that she was in a situation where she was reasonably safe and had access to medical benefits and protection, rather than being under the control of bad people. Better it's a profession than a slave-market.

We're not talking about politicians.

You are talking about what you approve of for your children. I see the one as no worse than the other.

So you think it is OK for children to drink alcohol before the age of 21?

Not directed at me, but my wife was drinking wine at 19 that I know of. That said, weren't you just chastising me for changing the subject? We weren't talking about underage drinking either.

Sometimes laws are made for this very reason.

And the legal drinking age varies from country to country. Sometimes laws are made for the wrong reason.
