Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Last I checked, my taxes pay for your kids’ school, so…
I love kids, wish I’d had my own, but it is not “selfless.” That’s just you justifying what you wanted
See it as you paying taxes for your school. School needs to exist for a functioning society. Private school leads to wealth gap and badness for everyone. If you wanna live in a nice place, you have to pay taxes.
My taxes pay for your fire department and police services and road you drive on. I never had a house fire once.
You live if a society. Our collective taxes go to these services for a better today and a better tomorrow.
The kid who one day might be your doctor, or care taker at an elder people's home, or responsible for a lot of civil infrastructure; are you that certain their education doesn't benefit you? Not you mention, you yourself had your education paid by other people's taxes, if you were ever in the public school system, so consider this your way to pay back for that.
