Reminds me of the old joke "what's the difference between libertarians and republicans? Libertarians know the legal age of consent in all 50 states"

[–] shiveyarbles 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Libertarians are like liberty to cherry pick lucrative bits of capitalism but same level of kick the ladder fuck you I got mine as regular Republicans.

What libertarian said what to make you think that?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 9 points 11 months ago

I think government only works when it has the power to militarily dominate any competing force.

Some of you guys have really warped definitions of libertarianism...

[–] PelicanPersuader 7 points 11 months ago

Found the libertarian.

I mean, if libertarians didn't openly discuss the age of consent and the differences between pedophilia and ephebephilia, maybe people wouldn't think they're all a bunch of pedos.

Like Hasan said "It's all liberalism at the end of the day"

..."Someone shot an RPG at us from the upper top window of the building across the road, requesting air support, over..." ..."They're setting up another RPG, over..." ..."Ah never mind, it's a minor. We'll just hope he continues to miss us"

I do not understand this meme.

Considering people under 18 children is exaggerating, 13 (or whenever you hit puberty) is about the age when people can get a job, get married, and fight in war if it weren't for society brainwashing and labeling them as children, history is with me on this one.

In many countries minors (<18) can be in military service. In Israel and the US it is from 17 years. Why should exactly HAMAS in a population with about half children (persons under 18 years) make a difference?

Wanting to marry 13 year olds says more about you than about them.

[–] Doods@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I am not encouraging 13 year olds - or people of any age - to marry people outside their age group, I think that's wrong under normal circumstances.

Edit: considering how fast people grow at the age of 13 their age group would be... 14 Year olds max I guess?

Edit 2: duo to how the laws of a nation cover a very wide range of people, I think we should - for the purposes of law - go the safe route and give these rights at 16, if nations normalize 16 year olds having sex then allowing marriage should be a no brainer.

Also someone else mentioned alchohol so I have to elaborate, in my perfect country, alcohol would be banned in all its - non medical - forms regardless of age.

Edit 3 : I have no idea what would qualify as an "abnormal circumstance" before anyone asks.

Edit 4 : I think porn should be banned in all its forms as well before anyone asks.

Edit 5 : I just googled IDF and libertarians and understood the meme, I just saw "12 year olds are not children" and decided to share an opinion that I still hold.

Edit 6 : If you think about it in the context of restructuring society in the way I want it to be - which isn't detailed in this comment - it sounds like a really good idea, but sadly society is corrupted and almost beyond repair.

[–] Devi 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you agree with sexualising children as long as they're being paired together??? But only 16 at which point it should be 'normalised'?? This whole 'opinion' is disgusting.

[–] Doods@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I don't expect many to agree, as my opinion is based on me not considering 13 and 14 Year olds children, what is really the difference between 16 - again, to be on the safe side - year olds and 18 year olds that give the latter that much more freedom?

Also I despise pre marriage sex if that adds anything to the conversation.

[–] Devi 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Adding that you want to bang children but only once a priest gives you ownership does not make it better no. Why on earth would you think it would? Gross.

[–] Doods@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago

Who said I want to?

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Your second paragraph perfectly explains the first. Good self-expression.

People like you is why I don't and shall never miss using reddit

[–] beefcat 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

i don't know anybody who has gotten married or fought in a war before the age of 18. we don't even let people drink or smoke until 21.

history is with me on this one.

you seem like the kind of person who is OK with saying only white men should be allowed to own land or vote

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I’m not with this guy
