It depends on the kid

2018-11-27 04:03:22 UTC  

?

2018-11-27 04:03:54 UTC  

oh you dont know that one? sargon's made fun of for it all the time

2018-11-27 04:03:56 UTC  

Sargon says “it depends on the child”

2018-11-27 04:05:27 UTC  

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.

2018-11-27 04:05:58 UTC  

It's obvious he's not advocating for sex with youths, but thats the joke people play on.

2018-11-27 04:06:34 UTC  

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)

2018-11-27 04:07:21 UTC  

It would be scary if we did

2018-11-27 04:10:24 UTC  

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.

2018-11-27 04:10:35 UTC  

15 is the youngest I think?

2018-11-27 04:11:26 UTC  

us law is pretty retarded.
Its best just to assume legal age in the US is 18

2018-11-27 04:11:34 UTC  

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.

2018-11-27 04:11:41 UTC  

iirc federal age is 13 but the states are all higher

2018-11-27 04:11:59 UTC  

putting us in the exact same situation that prompts the >japan AoC is 13 meme

2018-11-27 04:13:13 UTC  

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.

2018-11-27 04:14:27 UTC  

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.

2018-11-27 04:15:06 UTC  

i know.....its so romantic. ❤ ❤

2018-11-27 04:15:14 UTC  

no like, it's technically 13

2018-11-27 04:15:22 UTC  

but every province in japan sets it higher

2018-11-27 04:15:36 UTC  

so you can't actually bone 13 year olds anywhere lmao

2018-11-27 04:15:56 UTC  

Not even on those northern islands no one knows?

2018-11-27 04:16:07 UTC  

it's actually further removed from that @zero_consequences , he was talking to Justicar about the aftereffects of him being kiddie fiddled

2018-11-27 04:16:13 UTC  

to which Justicar said that it was fine for him

2018-11-27 04:16:37 UTC  

hokkaido?

2018-11-27 04:16:59 UTC  

iirc everything north of hokkaido is russian 🤔

2018-11-27 04:17:04 UTC  

so rather than argue with someone who had been statutorily raped, Sargon said "well I guess it depends on the child" basically

2018-11-27 04:17:06 UTC  

Similar to the Milo thing I bet. He's fine with it.

2018-11-27 04:18:33 UTC  

i'd say it makes sense because people reach maturity at different ages, but since such logic could easily be abused if applied as law, the best thing we can do is decide on an acceptable age limit

2018-11-27 04:20:18 UTC  

Yeah, before you know it you have guys tripping over coffee tables and accidentally inserting their penises into girls during the fall.

2018-11-27 04:23:06 UTC  

Its a 1 in a billion shot. When it happens, trust me, no one believes you.

2018-11-27 07:02:29 UTC  

The author is very much on the left and calls out how many of the progressive policies have resulted in greater inequality and helped create a 2 tier society in California. He doesn't give solutions, but it would presumably come from the left in his case. Still, something like this would be fuel for the right.

2018-11-27 07:07:57 UTC  

The soultion is to disown CA

2018-11-27 11:40:20 UTC  

He doesn't give solutions because they would all involve deregulation.

2018-11-27 11:40:36 UTC  

It's virtually impossible to make a case for it these days.

2018-11-27 11:40:47 UTC  

Even when I try here, I have a torrent of opposition usually.

2018-11-27 11:41:19 UTC  

People proclaim libertarian values and principles, but when you hold their feet to the fire, they usually make up an excuse and regurgitate the precise arguments that got us into this mess.

2018-11-27 11:41:45 UTC  

I keep bringing up such examples as minimum wage, rent control, market deregulation, and so forth. All I hear is how this would spell the end of the world.

2018-11-27 11:42:44 UTC  

We are not able to deregulated. Whenever another country or market is ruined by the sheer amount of state intervention, people's solution is always to add yet another regulation to undo the harm done by a prior regulation.

2018-11-27 11:43:17 UTC  

"You can't take away that regulation, because, by now, we have this other regulation in place. So, the solution is to add a regulation to undo the effects of the second regulation."
