That's why children need adults to raise them

It's really not, less stimulation results in less cerebral activity which results in less cerebral thought and creative activity. It's why they show kids shows like Bill Nye and not long monochrome walls of text filled with jargon. That's why the world should be ruled by adults. If the adult popula...

What do you think?
