You blew this one big time, friend. I couldn't believe ANY chart said a 12 year old kid could weigh 30 lbs. your own chart has the 5th percentile at 30 kilograms, or about 65 lbs. So you may have had a kid below the first percentile, but for a 12 year old to weigh 30 lbs and be OK, they better be about 2 feet tall.

Castle is not on the ballot in Kentucky, but you can write him in:

Good. Do you not know anything at all about the Constitution Party and what we stand for? The CP is a far-right Party. It's like you were about to vote for Stein, and then said "I didn't know she was against the death penalty and for abortion on demand!" That's just not how it works.
I think a ban on gay adoption is a bit much, but even (some) gays realize that children are better off with having an actual male and female mother and father. As for the death penalty, I'm against it but I understand why some people are for it. I shed no tears when Jeffrey Dahmer was killed in prison.

“Do not be involved with the state in executing criminals or in any way approve the carrying out of the death penalty....
... Believers in the omnipotence of state military power are enthusiastic supporters of the death penalty. It’s strange to me that those who champion best the rights of pre-born are generally the strongest supporters of the death penalty and preventive, that is, aggressive, war. Ironically, those who find the death penalty an affront to life are usually the strongest supporters of abortion. I grant that there certainly is a difference in the life being protected; one is totally innocent—the unborn—and the other usually a person convicted of a horrible crime, like murder or rape. The difference of opinion is usually along the lines of conservative versus liberal.
This is one issue in which my views have shifted in recent years, especially since being elected to Congress. There was a time I simply stated that I supported the death penalty. Now my views are not so clearly defined. I do not support the federal death penalty, but constitutionally I cannot, as a federal official, interfere with the individual states that impose it.
After years spent in Washington, I have become more aware than ever of the government’s ineptness and the likelihood of its making mistakes. I no longer trust the U.S. government to invoke and carry out a death sentence under any conditions. Too many convictions, not necessarily federal, have been found to be in error, but only after years of incarcerating innocent people who later were released on DNA evidence.
Rich people when guilty are rarely found guilty and sentenced to death. Most people believe O. J. Simpson was guilty of murder but went free. This leads to a situation where innocent people without enough money are more likely to get the death penalty while the guilty rich people with good lawyers get off. For me it’s much easier just to eliminate the ultimate penalty and incarcerate the guilty for life—in case later evidence proves a mistaken conviction. The cost of incarceration is likely less than it is for death penalty appeals drawn out not for years but for decades.”

Did you ever contact Mr. Castle and find out what his actual position is on adoption? I read through the thread, and it doesn't appear you did, but maybe I missed it.
He gives out the following contact email for his campaign manager in some of his videos: joan@castle2016.com
He also has videos of live Facebook Q and As on his Youtube channel. Maybe he'll do another one Q and A and you can ask there.
I'd make sure to try and word the question so that you get what he would do as president about it (if anything) and not just his personal view on the matter.
Like some other posters have said, I'd bet he is personally opposed, but as president wouldn't do anything about it because there is nothing about it in the Constitution, and so he'd leave it up to the sates. However, I admit that I don't know for sure what his position is because the one time I heard him address it, he didn't elaborate, whereas for same sex marriage he made an effort to differentiate between his personal views and how he would act as president. Thus I would not try to encourage people to vote or not vote for him based on this issue without trying to find out his actual stance on it first.
Let us know what you find out.
Well, I'm glad you at least waited a week to spoil the joke, so that it's clear to everyone that niKKKi herself was not the one who noticed, indeed would never have noticed this nor figured this out. Not capable. Do you really believe niKKKi actually weighed the lad?
Ha, ha, ha!
Obviously not. O.I., my friend, that is not the way she operates. This conversation is not about the facts. It's all about the Feelz. She feelz-ed that he was about 30 lbs. She feelz-ed that his parent(s) was(were) mistreating him. She feelz-ed like suddenly stuffing his face until he got sick would be the wise, humane, and helpful thing to do to someone in an actual long-term starvation situation. She almost certainly doesn't actually have any children (other than the ones she temporarily steals), but she feelz she is an expert on children. She feelz-ed like calling the cops on the parents would be the noble thing to do and would lead to bloody terrific consequences! Because she knows best. For everyone. It would set the young man on a whole new successful life path. She feelz that there are starving childrens everywhere in the United States. Behind every corner.
Thank goodness we have do-gooding Meddlers like NiKKKi.

Ah, I see. Had not followed the full conversation and merely saw your statement and thought "That can't be right". I did think that was not characteristic of your posts. So thank you for the explanation, the context.

Where did you hear that?
Remember the part where niKKKi is not my neighbor? Where she did not call CPS on me and have my kid(s) taken away? Sad, I know. Well, one woman can only "help" so many, can only spread so much do-gooding. If only she were here to "do her thing," then the children could be safe in the loving arms of homosexuals, safe from retards like me.
You've got no leg to stand on HH. I have no problem in an individual being punished for harming their children. Purposeful starvation is a legitimate example of someone harming their children. You are the one advocating 'do-gooding' by the government.
