And sometimes a 10 year old doesn’t know either. Once you’re past eight years old it’s up to a psychologist to determine if you are competent to understand your actions

a hypothetical that serves no purpose other than to make you feel smart

>treating 8 year olds as all the same

when you're actually just retarded af

Sorry but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_killers

Hypotheticals are necessary

in arguing

In the United States anyone that’s eight or under cannot be charged with a crime

you don't know what you're talking about so you're attacking the way i argue instead of the content of the message

That’s not hypothetical that’s fucked

and no

Alright let’s also charge babies that accidentally kill their mothers for murder

its not based on "science"

Arent some individuals more aware of their actions with more premeditiation than others? 8 year olds are not a monolithic block of people

here is how we can tell why edik is retarded
he is adressing the consent issue from a forward perspective
as in "what about this 12 year old being >>> ASKED <<< X"
@edik
why are you concerned about what 12 year olds are being asked to do?

You should be abke to try 8 year olds for murder

Right, so these absolute age laws are clearly broken

very subjective

@Fresh were talking about children though. Not people in general

And they are not broken

Children are people with individual traits

babies at that point either know everything ( how some idiots claim ) or are the dumbest pieces of meat on this dirtball. you cant charge stupid if they dont understand what they did

Exactly, every child is different, so every child should be treated differently

within limits

and thats the FUCKING RULE

If it was based in science there would be a breeding period where 25-40 year old men and 24-35 year old women

within limits
this is the reason we have a legal system

some children are capable of understanding sex and some are not

some children are capable of knowing right from wrong

some are not

@edik
in you perfect system
how will you deel with the neurological impacts of sexual stimulous on developing brains?

>some are not

you mean psychopaths

MOST are not able to tell the difference @edik

the tiny minority

You also have to take into affect social norms in the United States we have set rules we are OK with a 19-year-old dating a 17-year-old we are not OK with 40-year-olds dating 17-year-olds

so when does this neurological damage stop being an issue?

a number so small it should be ignored for this conversation

If only some are that means most aren’t and we protect the majority because it also protects that minority
