Walking is not a crime. Show me otherwise.
The one that's more reasonable to believe is the one where kids have their noses in phones and aren't independent enough to go out on their own.
"Fairly rural neighborhood" and "rural town". Rural, but in the context of a neighborhood or a town. There are varying levels of development, and the larger surrounding area can add context.
It sounds like you're trolling if you can't make a good argument and are simply attacking me. Bye
It appears your understanding of what “trolling” is mirrors your understanding of argumentative fallacies.
I didn’t uncharitably read what you wrote. You asked if I had a real argument to give because, apparently, you think getting knowledge/facts from an expert and citing said facts is not a real argument. The only reasonable interpretation of what you wrote is that you think citing an expert in their area of expertise is not a valid (“real”) arguement.
I feel like you answered it yourself in the opposite way. Walking isn't criminalized, the problem is the systemic racism in the US.
We can believe the children of the nation lack imagination or that society has evolved in such a way that discourages walking and free roaming. One of these two seems to me to be a more reasonable explanation for the dearth of children walking in America’s populated areas.
Next time it’s best not to use rural when you don’t mean rural. I go by what people write.
