I have a wonderful idea that will solve all our problems too. Hear me out.

We need to mass manufacture giant steel statues. Real American steel. Giant statues of our greatest American hero Kyle Rittenhouse. And place them arm in arm, AR 15 on chest, standing tall and proud. And construct a wall! The greatest wall the world has ever seeeeeeeeen!!!!!

I know my brilliance has left you all speechless, but the answer is “Yes!” I WILL run for president.

I cant tell wether your being ironic or not but in any case lol

*Evidence *Genius

Someone’s gotta do it lol

How can people spell conscientiousness and not Evidence and Genius lol

I’m only joking though but just found that funny

the left has cancelled nobel prize winners, lmao. And no im not talking about the racist james watson. Look up Tim Hunt, 2001 nobel prize in medicine

> The first need over "pedophilia" claims is to demand honest definitions. Pedophilia is not legitimately a crime (as it is a defined medical disorder, re: unnatural sexual interest in pre-pubescents; not actual molestation that may be criminal). It doesn't cover sexual interest in nor sex acts with teens (or in our developmentally weird society, sometimes pre-teens past puberty). Some US states have no age of consent law for sex below majority, which is invalid law on the basis that 17 is the developmentally normal median age of first consensual partner sex in Western societies, while the patchwork of other state consent ages from conditionally as low as 10 on up fail religious and cultural rights standards, and equal protections of law standards. Canada at least some years back cut through political hot buttons to develop more nationally uniform and realistic sexual consent laws, but those are entirely separate issues from pedophilia, which can exist as a mental health issue and doesn't involve teens (other than by false allegations often for 14-18 year old consensual partners).
@LokiV

and that bigotry contributed how to thier policy specifically are there any good examples ?

For comparison, "erbophilia".....

That may cover some forms of teen sex or interest therein, except it's messy to insert constructs that suggest developmentally normal relationships may be disorders, when that's largely based on religious or cultural prejudices and not any valid claims of harm to victims.

i hear, do you have a degree in law? JC

@therealdandan

Or bad examples?

There are tons of cases of malicious prosecutions of teens who've had sex, and malicious focus on gays in some jurisdictions, or 19-17 year old relationships. There's also codification as statutory rape in some places of faculty-student sex, which is really messy among grad TA's, or fraud when it fails to distinguish what's more like sexual extortion, not rape, from adult consent, in universities. There are also cases of prosecution of 40 year old male partners for sex crimes based on US extra-territorial jurisdiction child porn and sex trafficking laws, when they return to a bigotry driven US state after visits to some pacific rim country that defines gays as if criminal contrary to core human rights. Or use of fake sexual accusations to get protective orders or steal property, under rigged process that assumes accuser "victims" need to have false accusation underlying claims held as secret from the target accuseds.

On top of that there are many sites trying to address or document age of consent issues.... A bit too extensive to casually summarize, as well as the usual academic research archives.

@therealdandan
My background is as an engineer, who's done a fair amount of legal work both with lawyers for regulated industry, and as an activist for most of my life, and leader in some nonprofits with civil rights focus.

Some niche areas, I know more law than most lawyers, while based on what I've seen from lawyers, I think their grad schools have ended up more like seminaries to kick out nutcases, and they flunk out or drive away not just the lazy and low hanging fruit, but about half the best and brightest who challenge traditions of arrogance and frauds many profs and judges try to (wrongfully) proliferate. I'd be driven crazy by that, as I tend to demand as engineers are inclined to do to require standards and practices to match up, not normalize massive frauds.

well its nice to have you here !

Ruth Bader Ginsberg died. Can't wait to hear the arguments on why it's ok to fill her seat with 6 weeks to go.

Here is the quote, forgive the bad formatting as I’m on mobile!

I think a second amendment open mic is in order.

Did that 2-3 days ago

There weren’t many hardline antis.

Does the world need US military hegemony???

Nope. The whole world doesn't. But My country does.

What about poorer countries which might not be able to maintain a strong military and radical groups like isis might take over them

Yea, if their population have a consensus about US Troops defending them. But Some small countries that need protection is not the whole world I guess. For instance, I cant imagine South America countries being attacked by China or Russia

Anyone else tired of campaign ads?

@Rae312

I think it is a noble idea, I'm sure everyone can pick holes in it but I'm more interested to know if anyone here supports the idea?

I'm not American so don't count, but for what it's worth I think it's a great idea that is unlikely to work more than once. But maybe once is all you need to break the cycle?

I like it that his reasons started with a pro Marxist sensibility.
