At least we’re allowing the children to think for themselves, though. It should have been a crime to not allow your three year old to lop off his, well, you know. And why shouldn’t kindergarteners being attending drag and strip shows?!?! Are you not open minded and tolerant??
Anyone believe there are TOO MANY laws enacted to regulate citizens behavior? So many things are now crimes.... and that's a crime in itself. What kind of mentality seeks to control people to this extent? This isn't political, it's social. You may not be legally able to collect casino chips, but your kids can be exposed to all kinds of filth and that's perfectly fine.
Now it doesn't specifically mention chips, I highlighted a couple definitions which chips fit into.
