So do we do the inverse for the elderly? Do we limit drinking at 60 because after 60 it causes more harm to your body than when you're 30?I see your point.
Stupid shit like this is always amusing to me. "Think of the health risks for the youth" Ok, what about the elderly? Do we tell them to stop smoking once they turn 65?
This is a commentary on the 25 year old idea, not necessarily what you're proposing.
...didn't you pretend not to understand the term Christofacism earlier in the topic and now you're trying to tell me I don't understand why it's rising to being with? Do enlighten me, this should be rich.
Nah you don't get do the cowardly chud "just PM me bro!" thing, lmao. Talk about it here or nowhere.
Christo-Fascism is on the rise BECAUSE church attendance/self-identification as Christians is going down. It's the Christian elites' last gasp effort to keep the religion in power.
Just because the Catholic church arrived at the same conclusion as science, doesn't mean it's a Christian law especially when incest marriage (as you put it) is throughout the Bible.
And what point are you even trying to make here? 99% of the time when a law is Christian based in the US it is christo-fascist and there isn't anything you can post to dispute that.
You said Christianity or Christofacism is rising. I want to know the factors in which why it is rising when Asherlee scoffed at me saying that the amount of people identifying as Christian in the US at a low.Because they're in their death throes and want to take the rest of us with them instead of fading into the shitbin of history where they belong.
You said Christianity or Christofacism is rising.
I said Christofacism is rising, not Christianity. Remarkably telling that you see the two as the same thing.
I'm trying to have a discussion and understand you, but you guys keep being so militant difficult. I already highlighted times where you guys misunderstood my post.
How was that post in any way militant? I don't think you understand what that word means.It hurt his feelings.
I cant say I dont agree with this
And there are very few things I agree with desantis on
It does make sense after all they do sell alcohols.
Since 2021, seven states have enacted laws lowering the age to serve alcohol.
In 2021, New Mexico and Ohio lowered the age to serve alcohol from 19 to 18, and West Virginia lowered the age from 18 to 16. Last year, Kentucky lowered the age to serve alcohol from 20 to 18; Alabama lowered the age from 19 to 18; and Michigan lowered the age from 18 to 17.
The most recent state to pass a law easing the restrictions for teens to handle alcohol is Iowa, where 16-year-olds are now allowed to serve and sell alcohol. Iowas state Legislature lobbying records show that the Iowa Restaurant Association, the state affiliation of the NRA, was in favor of the bill.
If I remember correctly, it's 21 because of the number of fatal DUI wrecks with drinkers between 18 and 21 are ridiculously high.
Im not seeing a problem.
If I remember correctly, it's 21 because of the number of fatal DUI wrecks with drinkers between 18 and 21 are ridiculously high.Which is mostly a cultural thing, because plenty of other countries have drinking ages of younger than 21 with no problems. There is just something deeply fucked and poisonous in our Society.

Making it harder for lower income women to help pay for college, risk of more trafficking now, restricting the freedoms of adults. Like this is pretty simple with just a little thought.Im not sure how this leads to an increase in trafficking, but Im
The latter half is correct, but also those countries tend to have great public transport infrastructure. Germany is infamous for it's public transport system and as a result fewer people have cars and just take public transport when they go out drinking.Oh for sure. I've been to several large European cities and been able to get around without ever touching a car. The idea of even trying to drive in London stresses me out. But even in places like Scotland where those things don't exist outside of the major cities the the penalties are much harsher than the US and it's simply not as much of a problem there.
The U.S., in contrast, was designed with a spread out system which encourages individual vehicle ownership, leading to poor decision processes such as people not wanting to take a cab home and a cab back to the bar the next day to pick up their car, so they feel the risk is acceptable. That situation has been helped with the advent of Uber & Lyft so it's definitely better now than it was before those companies existed.
Im not seeing a problem.Should all jobs be 21 and up? Or just ones you don't like.
Im not sure how this leads to an increase in trafficking, but Im
not very versed on that subject.
I also dont think young women should turn to stripping to pay for college, but thats another can of worms involving the price of college and how it shouldnt be anywhere near as costly as it is.
Yup. And note that this leaves 0% left for protecting women from reckless choices, because that's not factored in. Stripping is actually the safest type of sex work, the hardest to get started with, has the least pressure to "go further" and risk harming oneself, and leaves the least "records" that could come back to haunt you. So it's actually making the world more dangerous for these young women.
Should all jobs be 21 and up? Or just ones you don't like.I dont have a problem with strip clubs. Ive been a few times in my 20s.
I dont have a problem with strip clubs. Ive been a few times in my 20s.Truly doesn't answer the question.
Same reason why restricting abortion just leads to more deaths:Hm. I see what youre getting at now. Thanks to you too @DarkChozoGhost
Also, you can personally disapprove of that but that's not for you to decide, it's for the women themselves.
Truly doesn't answer the question.Does No, I dont think all jobs should be limited to 21 year olds and older. answer your question?
Does No, I dont think all jobs should be limited to 21 year olds and older. answer your question?So what jobs should be 21 and what jobs shouldn't?
So what jobs should be 21 and what jobs shouldn't?

I appreciate you being open-minded about it. And of course I strongly believe there should be more protections and rights for the workers and more regulations for the institutions to reduce exploitation. Unfortunately, that's the furthest thing people like DeSantis care about when they'd rather strip worker protections (no pun intended). It's something blue states should strive more for though I'd wager they're already doing much better on that front.No problem man. I try to be a lifelong student. DeSantis name being attached to any new bill or law makes my eyes squint. And like you said, regulations, rights, and protections for these workers should for sure be paramount in places that often attract sleazeballs who dont see them as actual people with feelings and boundaries.
That wasnt the question. I already answered your last one. Someone else gave a list of cons for why this new age restriction could cause more problems than good and I responded to them above.Can't be POTUS at 21.
But off the top of my head:
President of the US and many other political positions
Can't be POTUS at 21.Have you even read through my recent responses that werent directed towards you.
I'm asking specifically, what jobs do you think should be at 21. You've stated stripping, then what?
Or are you just all for arbitrary rules for whatever reason.
Oh for sure. I've been to several large European cities and been able to get around without ever touching a car. The idea of even trying to drive in London stresses me out. But even in places like Scotland where those things don't exist outside of the major cities the the penalties are much harsher than the US and it's simply not as much of a problem there.
Per the Scottish Government's website:
Drink driving is a criminal offence with serious penalties: you'll get a minimum 12-month driving ban. you could go to prison for up to 6 months or get a fine of up to 5000 - or both. the offence stays on your licence for 11 years.
It also says you could lose your vehicle. Not sure what that means, like can the Gov seize your vehicle permanently?
Have you even read through my recent responses that werent directed towards you.No, because I don't care to. First and only post I saw was you basically agreeing. So I asked why we are arbitrarily throwing around a random age. 21, 22, 25, why?
No, because I don't care to.
Well Ive already covered it with others just a few posts before your last. If youre that interested theyre there. I also didnt bring up the ages of 22 or 25.I'm bringing up arbitrary numbers. What's the difference between 21 and 20, not much. Simply choosing 21 is a number picked out of the air with no actual thought involved.
I'm bringing up arbitrary numbers. What's the difference between 21 and 20, not much. Simply choosing 21 is a number picked out of the air with no actual thought involved.I didnt pick the number. DeSantis did. Just like I didnt pick the number for alcohol sales or smoking.
I didnt pick the number. DeSantis did. Just like I didnt pick the number for alcohol sales or smoking.And you agreed with it, so if he said 25, you'd agree? If he said 22 you'd agree?
And you agreed with it, so if he said 25, you'd agree? If he said 22 you'd agree?Posts #179, #182, #186, and #187 between me and GiftedACIII have already covered exactly what youre trying to drag out. Read them or dont. Im not doing it for you.
And yet you only have to be 18 to join the militaryThat is perfectly fine.
That is perfectly fine.Only gotta be 14 to work in a slaughterhouse.
Defends Fandom's policies, defends Sony's hypercapitalist moves, now supports Desantis policies. I definitely see you becoming hardcore conservative as you get older lol.
