Hero Worship
From: Mark R
I never agreed with having children on the ship. What is the point of that? You are at work. I don't think people should take their kids to work even on this planet. There should not be families on the ships. The Navy does not currently allow you to take your family with you on the ship. Why does the Federation? Having families/children on board will make the officers rethink some decisions and that shouldn't happen. I personally wouldn't even allow those with children to serve on board a ship until the kids were grown. It changes what you will do and that can get others killed. If kids were as important to people as they say they are people would actually raise their own kids instead of shuffling them off to daycares and other places they park them.
They are what today's society seems harsh to that kid but in fact children should have their questions answered truthfully. A child should be able to ask whatever they are wondering and have it answered in an honest way from adults. Shielding the truth from people does not make the truth different. Face an issue and get through it. The truth doesn't have safe spaces to hide in.
Enjoy the 22 minutes of freedom the government graciously grants you outside your home each day. Use it wisely.
