You keep saying what is required as though it's absolute fact.

I just said you can "can pass the training and certification [and inspections] then still slack off in the field." What part about this is so difficult for you to understand?

Don’t you dare put those words in my mouth. That’s not at all what I said.

Really? You seem to only care about what the law says. So you admit that it's possible for the law to be incorrect about consent? Is it okay to have sex with 16 year olds if the law says so? At what point do you draw the line between what you find acceptable and what the law finds acceptable? Your entire argument in this entire thread chain has been "it's illegal" when I've said time and time again I'm not referring to the law.

None of those involve other people’s consent and are all victimless crimes. Dear lord how are you this dense.

Yeah, me having sex at 17 with a 20 year old was a victimless crime. However, I think you're delusional and patronizing enough to ignore this fact.

You know what’s traumatizing? Being raped. My years of therapy agree.

I mean, that applies to you. Not me. Why would I avoid having sex at 17 because of what happened to you? Lol.

It seems your letting your own experiences dictate what everyone else should experience. Hopefully with time you will come to realize that's just not the world we live in. Everyone is different, and most people are cool with having sex at 17 even if it's illegal.

It would not require that. You can pass the training and certification then still slack off in the field.

Hey man, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's never true.

I wasn't talking about the law.

I had sex at 17 with an adult and have 0 regrets. It's pretty normal. I think I would've had more regrets if I refrained from doing it because people like you think that's what I should do, lol.

To put things into perspective and why it's always good to talk specifics, I was 17 and she was 20. I guess she's a shitty person who raped me and should be in prison, lol. We ended up being together for years, it was a great relationship :)

But I guess from your 'logic', if this occurred in a different jurisdiction (or if I had waited 2 months for my 18th birthday,) then she would be off the hook for any and all judgement.

It's funny watching you people always pivot to the law as though every law is just and people are good based on how well they obey laws.

I think going outside would help you understand better.

Pretty much every restaurant loads their food up with sugar or salt because that's what makes it taste good.

We've become addicted to salt so much that we don't even realize we're getting too much of it. You won't make it as a chef if you don't make your food unhealthy. Putting in a healthy amount of salt will always result in your food tasting 'bland.'

Couldn't disagree more, depending on the location.

Pretty much ever McDonald's outside of major cities is a social hub for locals. People will go there everyday and spend hours inside talking with each other.

Hey, I saw that youtube video too!

Unfortunately it's dead-wrong.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought the residents were always disrespectful of the city.

Something like Venice having the filthiest water of any city because the residents just dump their trash into it.

I dunno, I never really understood the reverence for Italian culture 🤷

They always seem to put the shittiest people on top while good people go unnoticed.

Fun fact: there is always a divided congress because the ruling class just adjusts its spending on elections to ensure nothing ever gets done in our favor.

As soon as we start voting more/for better candidates, they start spending more. They haven't even scratched the surface of how much they can spend to control the government; they don't need to yet.

As the disparity in wealth continues to grow, they'll just have even more money to ensure their grip for generations.

I'm sure they'll have plenty of democrats helping, too.

They're willfully using vague language because they know talking specifics weakens their argument.

It's a pretty common tactic these days, so I always ask for specifics or point out that they are not being given.

The headline is misleading because trans teens can still be treated.

Is there any evidence besides people saying something?

That would shut the deniers up fast!

Edit: no evidence :(

Well, you see, Israelis said it happened so it must be true.

They said so.

Yes, the only 'evidence' I've seen so far are Israeli testimonies.

History has shown they're not a reliable source of information on the middle east, so I don't take their words at face-value.

Maybe zionists should read the boy who cried wolf, lol. You behave like Russia, you get treated like Russia 🤷

It sounds like he wants to hold Israel accountable too.
