      That’s uncomparable. You are saying Texans are unable to choose what they do in life. That sounds like prison. So if your child becomes an adult grows up and wants a place of his own, bearing in mind for this analogy to work there must only be one house as you can’t just make more land. You still own where he lives and what he does? He doesn’t have equal control as you, sounds like he’s born into slavery.

        your argument is totally neutered by the fact that until the kid meets specific legal requirements, they are absolutely required to stay where the parent dictates.

        the law doesn’t allow texas to just up and leave the union either. they’d have to go through a lot of bureaucratic processes before that would be a viable option.

        did you really think this was a solid “gotcha”? lol

          Texans absolutely have more rights than a child being controlled by a parent.

          A texan would have equal right over anything done in the country where a child would not.
