Yes, as Bluey says you are also legally required to.

The basics of food, shelter and clothing are pretty obvious. Without that the child can be removed from your care. The farther you get from the basics the more that it is a person choice. No moral or legal responsibility to provide the latest video game or current fad clothing item much less any of the more extreme items they can dream up.

You have to remember that even if it is written into law it's no guarantee that it is moral, the law is a reflection of the current majority's opinion of morality nothing more nothing less. I would say that you are morally responsible for your child's well being but not because the law says it, it's just a case where the law happened to get it right for once

Why is there something as opposed to nothing?

I totally agree with you even though it may have sounded like i was implying differently.

I have to say that I also agree and when has the law ever got it right lol

Because its imposable to think of nothing.

Have you ever tried to think of nothing? I have and the most nothing I could think of is black. But that's still something.

Its inconceivable that even when we are gone that there well be nothing. well inconceivable to me.

This is why I think there has to be something in the next life. As I just can not except that there is nothing.

I don't believe in the bible as I think they are to many contradictions there but I do believe all this is for a reason and they well be something that makes all this worth it. I just don't know what.

Because nothing would not exist without something to compare it to...lol Yeah, I'm talking out my @ss but it's the best thing I can come up with...lol "Nothing" is a concept.

because nothing doesn't exist or it would be something

Well in a vacuum there can be nothing within it

But you could put something into a vacuum? So does that eliminate the vacuum or how soon it would become ''nothing'' ?

Also i beg to differ to there being nothing within a vaccum theres alsorts in mine, mainly dust, dirt, hair clippings and anything else that happens to be on the floor whilst cleaning.
