Glad to see this shitpost to greet my day.

17 is considered a legal adult in many states of the US, not an age that I personally consider an adult, but I'm not going to argue further with AmericanMuskrat over it after stating my piece. Had he been 14 (the age that was originally brought up in the conversation regarding consent in Germany) then I would have shit on it into oblivion.

    Ok, so I had to look some of this up. There's a difference between the age of majority, and age where you can be tried legally as an adult in a court of law. In Georgia, for example, you're seen as an adult as far as getting into legal trouble but you're not considered an adult if you're trying to access death benefits open at adulthood. Consent laws differ quite a bit in the US. I've made the point pretty clear that I don't personally see someone as an adult until they're 18, and honestly still not fully developmentally capable of great decision making til after.

    I'm not advocating for the legalization of adult sex with minors at all. If you would have paid attention to all the other shit that I wrote instead of just plucking what you thought was convenient to post here in an attempt to make me look like shit, you would have seen that. Regarding the Quran, I would like to remind you that I can't control things that happen in shitty sand nations with draconic laws, especially when I'm not even considered capable of making my own decisions there. I don't approve of it, and that wins me a net gain of having an opinion.. Making changes in places like that, or really anywhere require someone with a hell of a lot more clout than I'm capable of. Germany is part of Western Civilization, and I have higher standards for those.

    Regarding AmericanMuskrat, he claims to have not been hurt, and while I don't approve of his situation I wasn't going to press him further about it. What the fuck is anyone going to do about something that happened more than 15 years ago if he didn't press charges? Here's a list of state Statute of Limitations for statutory rape if he decides to, but he seemed pretty clear on his stance.

    Bottom line: what I want or view to be right or wrong does not coincide with what is legal, that doesn't mean that I can't bitch about it.

    You are the one that said all men are pedophiles and therefore it's okay. Remember this thread?:

    You LITERALLY DEFEND PEDOPHILIA and say it is normal in this post, you subhuman cunt.

    You're also a dirty fucking commie.

    Absolutely anything said or written by someone with light skin is a "white supremacist dog whistle" to you. How about you shut the fuck up commie.

    The thing with racist dog whistles is only racists are supposed to be able to hear them.

    With this person's user name only the leftists see something and everyone else on saidit is oblivious.

    If that is true then I won't disagree.

    However, not all cases would be like that.

    Just because someone has a terrible car accident and is saved by NOT wearing a seat belt doesn't mean it's going to go that way every time. The statistics prove that seat belts save lives.

    So do laws protecting children from exploitation.

      Either you suck at comprehending or you're intentionally disagreeable.

      That's not what I said. I said, "If that is true then I won't disagree."

      It's not out of the realm of possibility that it could be fine. I'm saying that for the majority of cases it's not fine. I never said it was acceptable in most cultures. If true, it's an exception, not the rule.
