35. It's using language so generally toward children
Look at one of the more angry posts, and pretend the post is written about some other group of people instead of about children. A post suggesting that southerners who get upset are obnoxious rednecks and the police shouldn't be afraid to crack down on southerners or they'll all be obnoxious rednecks and those obnoxious rednecks had better stay the hell away from me would be locked or deleted. But the same basic things can be said about children, and people can even joke about children being killed, and we're hypersensitive if we think that goes over a line. Try joking about southerners or "obnoxious rednecks" having a plastic bag put over their heads if they get out of line and see how long your thread stays open.
