Reply #19: There are plenty of "childless" people who have "skin in the game" [View All]

[Pachamama]

Boxer's statement was never out of line...it was never about someone being "childless". In contrast to both Boxer and Rice, neither of which have any "skin in the game" and any immediate family member (parent, sibling, child) who could serve in the military, there are however plenty of "childless" people who could.

What if a male or female who is single and without children and aged 20, had several siblings between the ages of 18-22 and parents who were 40? That person's entire family could be the "skin in the game".

To state that Boxer was attacking poor Ms. Rice's choice in being childless and single is a complete and utter bullshit argument.
