Bruh, french guys?
If only the libertarians knew their dreamland already existed
They’re 50 years too late though.
That’s such a weird situation because I do agree with the criticism of the age of consent being different for gay acts vs straight ones, but also 15’s a bit young there and they think it’s too high. Yikes.
16 is pretty normal in both the US and Europe
That depends on the state. The larger states tend to trend towards older.
California, ~39 million. 18 Texas, ~30 million. 17 Florida, ~23 million. 18 NY, ~20 million. 18
Pennsylvania at about 13 million is the first in population to see 16...
over 1/3rd of the country is represented in the top 4 states there... and all would say that 16 is not normal...
According to wikipedia 31 states in the US put age of consent at 16.
And in Europe Wikipedia says "only four countries, Cyprus (17), the Republic of Ireland (17), Turkey (18), and the Vatican City (18), set an age of consent higher than 16.". Which would account for more than 600 million people.
From a western point of view it's pretty normal. You'll still get weird look if you're 20+ and dating a 16 year old, but that's besides the point we're arguing.

That gives a whole new meaning to the expression 🤢 Fr*nch "people" 🤮
Thanks for lumping me and my contemporaries with a small subset of barely famous old weirdos who mostly died before we were even born, I guess
Assholes will get big dogs, abuse ignore and isolate them, then act surprised when they act unpredictably.
Breed specific legislation isn't the answer. The answer is for mandatory training courses predating dog ownership. All dog ownership too. Little dogs can be assholes too.
Breed specific legislation isn’t the answer.
When 1 breed is per capita significantly higher represented... yes it is.
Little dogs can be assholes too.
Little dogs can't kill you.
If we breed a dog to be the size of a hippo... Is that still okay to have? Even if it's only 6x as dangerous as the next breed?
it's higher because people use pitbulls for dog fights, etc... if you abuse an animal it's more likely to attack someone.
if you look at stats, getting killed by a rotweiler or a german Shepard isn't that far off.
which would be the next two "tough dude" cool pets...
not to mention, pitbulls aren't even a breed, really... there's plenty of pit cousins that would be the new pitbulls... plus half breeds and whatnot...
my solution is to just require all small children carry revolvers... super simple, and those dogs will think twice before attacking them.
We should just breed our toddlers to be vicious dog-killers machines, problem solved. I want my kid to be able to tear everything to shreds on the playground by the time he hits 6.

They didn't just use pitbulls, they specifically bred pitbulls to fight and never give up. It's deep in their brain.
"Deep in their brain" is that a science term. I kid. I would like to know the science behind it, though.

Why then pick pits? I get emergency calls about dog attacks all the time. It's always pits. Assholes want asshole dogs. People use them to fight because they're monsters and will fight till the death.

I knew someone who had a badly behaved dog, it attacked their partner so they put it down.
A few weeks later "I'm getting another one and I'm going to train it myself" Meaning they just won't train it, lost their shit when someone called them out as a dog killer. People don't deserve animals, people suck.
Yeah, for real. Pitbulls are the common target because they're the "vicious dog". It's a self-fullfilling prophecy. Talk about how pitbulls are vicious man-killers, people who want vicious man-killers buy them and train them to be vicious man-killers, pitbulls become vicious man-killers. Meanwhile, the people who want a family dog don't get pitbulls because, well, they're "vicious man-killers". The result is that statistics get skewed in favor of the "vicious man-killer" status, leading to people seeing the breed as nothing more than vicious man-killers.

What about French philosophers named Princess?
A lot of them were pedophiles and used their positions as published academics to argue the "philosophy" of "child love". Pitbulls also have a bad wrap around kids.
Keep in mind that France produces a lot of philosophy in general, and there's plenty of grassroot and intellectual pushback to the ideas.
You could also just as easily, for example, make this joke about the founders of American "libertarianism," arguably a kind of philosopher.
Yeah but only in France can they get called out on TV and it's the person calling them out that gets shunned!
Shootout to Denise Bombardier trying to get people to realise that Gabriel Matzneff is a pedo in 1990 only for Justice to wait another 30 years before launching an investigation even if he was directly referencing having sex with underage girls in his books.
Oh yes, I am aware. There was actually a pretty hard divide amongst philosophers over this.
Same thing in the US with beatnik writers, libertarians, etc. Any group that is seeking some form of personal liberty expansion will see pedophiles attach themselves.
Pitbulls also have a bad wrap around kids.
You mean like this, but with children nearby?

The pitbull, obviously.
That kid's getting fucked up either way.
I would trust the pitbull. Besides, they're not as bad as people make them out to be.
