Is there any harm in children being in the room to watch an orgy? Is there any harm in children going to strip clubs? Is there any harm in an adult jacking off in front of a child? Why does a digital screen between the child and the scene m

"If you outlaw murder people will just find more secretive ways to do it" Sure, but also less murder will happen, there will be enforcement to minimize it, and murder won't be normalized. Likewise: less children will be expos

Maybe a more apt analogy: why can't children watch 2 consenting adult strangers have sex? Why can't they enter a strip club? Why does a digital screen between them and the action make it acceptable?

So your problem here is the implementation? Have them do verification through a government-owned endpoint, pass laws with steep fines and jail time for all involved if they store ID info, etc You have to submit a fraction of this same info

Better yet, do they extend this thinking to: drugs, guns, voting, strip clubs, gambling websites, buying alcohol, buying cigarettes, renting a car, or even buying porn mags? Why is internet porn the only exception? It's obviously harmf

Why can't children just enter strip clubs or watch their parents have sex? Is there no harm there? Why is there age verification to buy porn magazines? Why does it being digital make it different?
127.
by eldritch_4ier 4y ago
Why should internet porn be the ONLY exception to requiring age verification? We already require age verification when you buy drugs, buy guns, vote, buy a drink, buy porn mags from a store, buy cigars, access alcohol websites, access gambl

Is it an Infringement On Freedom to require age verification before you can purchase alcohol? Or enter a strip club? Or even walk into some bars or many clubs? Or to buy a gun? Or rent a car? Or vote? Or buy porn magazines from a store? Why

I'm not sure on the cheating ring or other cases, but for the one I witnessed it was blatantly sharing each others exams + answers during the busy "turn in your exams" moment of a crowded auditorium. One East Asian student I

Asian immigrants especially, but some 2nd generation+ students who come from Asian communities in the area who were still pretty traditional. I personally had to report 4 south Asian students blatantly cheating for an exam, and had a cheati

I remember cheating was absolutely rampant among East and south Asian students when I went through undergrad (a mere 3 years ago) to the point where something like 70% of all honor cases (cheating investigations by the student council) were

Ok, that is just as racist as saying black men commit the majority of violent crimes because of their race and gender

Lifetip: as soon as you boil down a legitimate issue to “race I don’t like doing thing I don’t like”, no one takes you seriously

The vast majority of human cultures across time and space don’t recognize gender in the sense you do. There’s sex, roles, personality, trends, etc but the concept of a man identifying as a woman and vice versa is a very rare one. There are

Why? I'm pretty clear here: I'm for responsible weed use, but I think legalizing weed will lead to massive irresponsible use
136.
by eldritch_4ier 4y ago
I do want to solve the underlying problems, of course. My point in this limited context is that until we can solve those problems, legalizing weed just compounds the issues. The underlying problems are really fkn-ing hard to solve. It'

by eldritch_4ier 4y ago
I think right now is exactly where I want weed to be in society: a taboo, not normalized in the mainstream, you get in trouble if you’re stupid with it, but otherwise if you’re just an occasional user you can get it just fine. This is prett

No, it makes sense because my values are good and I happen to be American. This is exactly my point. You’re saying “because the US has done bad things in the past, it has no moral standing to do good in the future”. A lot of bad happened in

by eldritch_4ier 4y ago
The US is good-er. There are bad people in the US of course, but this will always be the case and can’t be a reason we restrict ourselves from increasing the good in the world. This argument boils down to “there are bad things and bad peopl

Expensive lifestyles are expensive because there’s more demand for them. Living a more desirable lifestyle and then retiring at the same time is still better is it not?

Good things are good, evil things are evil. This detached observer way of looking at the world is mind boggling. There is nothing contradictory about arguing for the good and arguing against the evil. I think this mindset stems from a funda

The bar for "shitposting you don't want your coworkers to know about" is so low nowadays that it's almost a free speech issue to allow anonymous accounts. If you post about not like drag shows in front of children, that
