It's fine if you think it'd happen even if there was free market courts but history shows that businesses got away with polluting because governments allowed it.
There is also the whole "pollution is stinky and people prefer their planet to not be stinky" that capitalism would eventually take care of.
pollution got out of hand during the industrial revolution to the early 50s partly because until then we were basically..more worried about actually eating and not dying than we were about the long term effects of industry..cause people weren't really living long enough to care.
Certainly that was part of it too.
Given pollution is subjective it was reasonable that courts ruled that say... burning wood for heat was not pollution because everyone did it and pretty much everyone accepted that as the cost of surviving.
Well yes, when the choice is "Die, or pollute" the second choice will always be taken
that is why China is currently one of the largest sources of pollution..people are choosing "Not fucking die"
Well, death in this case being a national kind of death, where their relevancy is destroyed and they become economically colonized by stronger powers.
Well no
I meant the low class farmers who worry about things like starving, and who want to move into the growing Chinese middle class.
and a bunch of other degenerate shit
Everyone knows Vee is a degenerate. Who gives a fuck? JF fucked a potato and Ralph assaulted an officer. Clearly Jim doesnt care about what the people he's associated with do in their spare time, he just wants Vee to hold himself to that standard
degenerate or deviant?
One is a moral judgement, the other is simply something outside the norm.
Fucking degenerate
Ralph was drunk and continually says he fucked up
Vee continually jerks it to little kids
@Beemann and no jim just doesn’t want people to be fucking degenerates
And dox people
And claim to have such deep and powerful principles while doing skeevy shit in the back room
some people call 16 yo's "little kids" because the legal age is 18 in their place of residence, while its perfectly legal elsewhere
Ralph has been a continual disappointment, including trying to get people doxxed. Who has Vee doxxed? Is there proof that Vee has a secret CP stash? Or is this more "coincidence" shit?
His account on some weird forum
so no definition to "little kids".
I'm going to assume its hyperbole and dismiss the accusations
It depends on the kid
?
oh you dont know that one? sargon's made fun of for it all the time
Sargon says “it depends on the child”
context being that ethnically and lawfully each state has its own cultural and legislative behaviors that set age restrictions for things.. especially sexual things, but that some youth are less developed/mature than others. hence it depends on the child.
It's obvious he's not advocating for sex with youths, but thats the joke people play on.
I see. I mean, technically, i can't disagree.
But we don't live in a society that deals with people on an individual basis. (usually)
It would be scary if we did
There are cases for it in the US.. each state has their own age limits, but then also consent from the youth and/or their parent.
15 is the youngest I think?
us law is pretty retarded.
Its best just to assume legal age in the US is 18
But yeah I've seen some smart, well-oriented 15 year olds that just don't know everything yet, but i've also seen some idiotic 29 year olds I wouldn't trust with a goldfish let alone a date.
iirc federal age is 13 but the states are all higher
putting us in the exact same situation that prompts the >japan AoC is 13 meme
Their culture is way more homogenous and universally understood than ours is, so I can understand that. There is probably MUCH less variation between attitudes and behaviors of 13 year old girls in Japan than in the US.
Not saying I find 13 acceptable, but thats just for older people to be with the younger ones. Kids'll be kids and fuck themselves into unwanted pregnancies and plan Bs as they do. Tale as old as time.
