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.
i know.....its so romantic. ❤ ❤
no like, it's technically 13
but every province in japan sets it higher
so you can't actually bone 13 year olds anywhere lmao
Not even on those northern islands no one knows?
it's actually further removed from that @zero_consequences , he was talking to Justicar about the aftereffects of him being kiddie fiddled
to which Justicar said that it was fine for him
hokkaido?
iirc everything north of hokkaido is russian 🤔
so rather than argue with someone who had been statutorily raped, Sargon said "well I guess it depends on the child" basically
Similar to the Milo thing I bet. He's fine with it.
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
Yeah, before you know it you have guys tripping over coffee tables and accidentally inserting their penises into girls during the fall.
Its a 1 in a billion shot. When it happens, trust me, no one believes you.
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.
The soultion is to disown CA
He doesn't give solutions because they would all involve deregulation.
It's virtually impossible to make a case for it these days.
Even when I try here, I have a torrent of opposition usually.
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.
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.
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.
"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."
I might have grokked the essence of the Austrian and Chicago schools of thought, but it will be a long time until I have the angelic patience of people such as Friedman and Sowell.
Every time I have a conversation about economics, I want to hit my head on the nearest wall. It's fine, though. A fool and his money are soon parted.
But in order to keep people from starving or dying on the streets a la the time before all these controls we'd need more government "welfare". If we let the market handle it, are we prepared to provide more food stamps, Medicaid, etc. to those who have to work for less than it costs to live?
I'm open to removing all the market controls you mention as long as we have an effective safety net to ensure we don't let our own people (citizens and legal residents) to die because the market won't either give them the ability to support themselves (able bodied) or they can't support themselves within it (disabled).
I was reading “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” The cat just died and it makes me feel so sad I knew it was real the poor thing
