They are a synthesis of what I have learned and experienced and what I aspire to.

Well if your position is not one of universal truth it means that you are already conceding that it could be wrong.

Don't you concede that your personal opinions could be wrong?

Parents should just try their best. They should stay within the laws. Occasionally society has to intervene.

Which laws are you talking about?

Either there is a correct way to raise a child or there isn't.

When you say "a correct way", do you mean there is only one to raise a child?

So is everything you learn and experience and aspire to is automatically right?

Child protection.

I think you can glean my answer to this (fatuous) question from what I have written over the past 4 pages.

You seem to think that your opinions are correct, don't you?

Child protection.

So who decides what these laws should be and what gives them the right to do so?

Assuming that God does exist, would what He says on the matter be of any significance?

In the countries I have lived in, the adult populace through democratic systems.

The question is 'Don't you concede that your personal opinions could be wrong?' I have already suggested that I am open to being persuaded that I am wrong. Are you?

So do you think the majority that live in an environment have the right to dictate the laws?

I already answered this. Why do you keep asking the same questions over and over again?
