  • There not being enough evidence to prove rape doesn't mean rape didn't happen.

    Sounding like Bush there.

    The absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence.

    What happened to "innocent until proven guilty" ?

  • Replace it with "average 4chan user" and that's about it. 4chan users can't deal with a different opinion and can only respond in "woke" or some version of "faggot". They devolved from being able to banter about stuff to snowflakes.

  • I know next to nothing about Korea, IIRC they have a similar work and educational culture to Japan: you leave after the boss and competition for education is extremely high. Coupled with a cost of living crisis, it reduces the will to have children or start relationships. I'm not sure if it's Korea but didn't the prime minister say something along the lines of they should stop complaining and make children?

    Anyway, I might be mistaken (and probably am) this problem likely stems from the highly competitive educational environment. You want the best for your kid and will try very hard to remove any obstacles, because even small hindrances might have a huge impact on life afterwards.

  • Not even start it, all you have to do is vote for it.

  • How do you know somebody's American without meeting them first?

    You hear them.

  • What does "part ways" even mean? They aren't in the EU and the only claim they have to being on the European continent , is some land they illegally acquired in a very similar fashion to Russia in Ukraine. Is he going to use "immigrants (actually refugees) as weapons" and "open floodgates" to let them into the EU? Provide Russia with more weapons? What?

  • How? Which writers are on this? I thought they were all striking...

  • Wasn't he a Russian puppet?

  • Pushing the leading edge of phone design opens new use cases, it's not always just about "doing the same shit, slightly faster"

    It's about creating new shit that runs at the same speed.

  • These are pie in the sky plans. I thought he was going to come up with a technical solution.

  • Ah, I'm on kbin. For some reason, I don't see you were responding to somebody else. Guess some context was lost.

  • The only peaceful religion is Jainism, but they are all outdated attempts at explaining the world and thus wrong.

  • Nowhere did I say "All muslims are OK with marrying girls at 10 years of age". In Western culture, not everybody wants to have a heterosexual relationship, a Christian wedding, get a kid(s), a house, a pet, and send the man off to work while the wife stays at home. It is the dominant culture however. Pointing out that it is a thing, isn't judgement on every single person in every single Western country worldwide.

    I was pointing out hypocrisy. No need to get your panties in a bunch because in this case it involved somebody who you consider not to be in power. They are human, they can be hypocrites too. Doesn't matter if they're a minority in their country.

  • What do you mean "islamophobic pitforks"? These were Islamic groups that were involved. That it's accepted in Islamic culture to wed off a girl as soon as she bleeds is no more "islamophobic" that saying the sun can give you cancer. Not everybody will hand over their daughter to be wed as soon as she bleeds, no more than the sun will give you cancer as soon as you step into it.
    Point the hypocrisy out between "she bleeds, she may be wed" and "sexual education is hypersexualisation" is not "islamophobic".

    You're just looking to have the moral highground. "see guys, I told that dude he's an islamophobe, where are my upvotes?"

    Also, not everything is globally recognized as pedophilia. Just because in your Western (American?) brain it has been taught so, doesn't mean that it is so to everybody.

  • I've seen way more offensive people on lemmy.ee than on hexbear. Tbh, hexbear is no worse than somewhat edgy redditors, so maybe that's not the tone that some instances want? With all the hubbub, I thought hexbear users were nazis, but they're quite tame (until proven otherwise).

  • Several Islamic groups have also condemned the program in a joint statement, fearing it will favor “hypersexualization” of children.

    Aren't these the same people that think marrying girls at 10 years of age is fine?
