At 14 the female is fully sexually mature. Capable of any biological act centered around reproduction. I say there are no moral questions with this age, only legal ones.

It happens to be the inverse of 14, and well into adulthood. A 14 year old pussy has to be a lot more attractive than a 41 year old woman's who has plopped out a few kids.

If it is ok for 14 year olds to be having sex, what on earth does the age of the 14 year olds partner have to do with it? A penis entering a vagina is essentially the same at 14 as it is at 41, although I'm sure that 14 year old honey pot is a lot sweeter, but the 41 year old knows how to use...

That would be a good point but for even in a place like Iran it is the minority. More marriages are between similarly aged people. It is a paternalistic society. And if it wasn't her husband it would be her father who brow beat her. They don't need husbands to keep the women subordinated.

I would agree mostly. But as I said, sexualization in these societies for women is contrary, on the whole, to what we know of psycological science. How is the harm worse for a child bride in Iran than the entire culturizarion that she is the property of her father then husband. She can express...

Their cultures do not handle it in a healthy way. What sexual freedom does any woman have in that society? Again, you seem to have difficulty getting out of your western mindset here.

We can all imagine the harm that is caused to an American child who was forced into a sexual relationship with an adult. My question to you would be, what harm is endured to these young teens who are forced married in Iran? You cant answer this by an American standard. Its not as if but for...

That is a good example of my point that says it is possible to have a society where it is not considered amoral. Moral values are different across time.

Do you not have the ability to place yourself in a different context? Rape, the violent and forceful violation of someone could never be acceptable. It might not be illegal in some societies across time. We only call sex with a 10 year old bad and make it illegal on the basis that a 10 year...

I said it could be ok... In the proper context of a society that judges it as part of growing up.

All I said about 10 year olds is that some societies have judged it moral, and as morality is determined by a society ipso facto it can be moral to fuck a 10 year old. Just not in our society. That being the case. Islam worships a man who never did any wrong who had sex with a 9 year old. Why...

Man. Idk. I agree with some of that. Yes some of the laws they have to enforce are stupid. But they way many of them enforce those laws are stupid too. Many people do bad things. When they do the cops brag about holding them accountable. When a bad cop does something bad most of those good...

Trump is wrong on that one. Police are the group who most undeservingly get heaps of praise. They take more men than went on the raid to get OBL to go serve an arrest warrant on a guy with some drugs. They shoot his dog as a matter of SOP... They're cowards.

It's all those global warming freaks worried about co2 adding co2 to their garden that will push us over the edge.

All the anti abotion violence? Seriously man, there is an incident with that every few years. Not that that is an acceptable figure, but with all the fundamentalists we have in America, the level of access we have to guns, and the passion that is generated in opposition to abortion, I think its...

Just because it was lawful for Z to kill T doesn't mean it would have been wrong for T to kill Z. Had that happened I could easily see how T could say he was in fear for his life. This was a mutual confrontation. Z could have declined to go after. And T could have easily gotten away. Both...

A large part of what you say is true. There is an element of "othering" to any religion. But as Sam Harris points out, the more fundamental a Jane gets the more pacifist he becomes. With Islam there is the othering, but its core tennants are more violent than any religion I know of. Even most...

If course I dont proscribe 100% accuracy to Z. He is human, it probably happened very fast with a lot of emotion and adrenaline and some guilt afterward. But i would only say that this case from the moment it happend received national attention and was subject to an intense police...

Would we agree that at present the most dangerous religion is Islam? Yes they all have potential for danger. But Islam to my mind is at current the most virulant. I would agree with banning all religious people from entering. That makes it evenly applied and more constitutional, plus it lets...

You yourself just made the link to hand and waistband to gun. So you can't avoid the reasonable person drawing the same infrence. And that is a threatening posture. T was a young slender atheletic looking young man. Z was old enough to have slowed a step from his youth and has always gone up...
