Just like european Union.

You'll hear a lot of ad hoc reasons but the bottom line was that men in industrialized countries were turning into miserable drunks and so there was a crackdown on alcohol all throughout the West in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was the War on Drugs of its day.
In France they famously focused on absinthe, they just attributed it all the ills of alcoholism and ignored other liquors.

Yea but banning it? Just tax the shit out of it

Why not make a more constructive thread and see if you can raise the quality level?

This. You should ignore the problem and hope that it goes away.

>>1370847
First step to recovery is acceptance, and we have to address the problem before we fix it.

Problem is it's been addressed too many times.

>Three different models explain the causal mechanism of free will and the flow of information between unconscious neural activity and conscious thought (GES = genes, environment, stochasticism). In A, the intuitive model, there is no causal component for will. Will influences conscious thought, which in turn influences unconscious neural activity to direct behavior. In B, a causal component of will is introduced: unconscious neural activity and GES. But now will loses its “freedom.” In C, the model that Cashmore advocates, will is dispensed with. Conscious thought is simply a reflection of, rather than an influence on, unconscious neural activity, which directs behavior. The dotted arrow 2 in C indicates a subservient role of conscious thought in directing behavior. Credit: Anthony Cashmore

Why would they reverse the direction of the dotted and solid lines on C?

Conscious thought is like the internet.

because conscious thought is secondary to background neural activity.

The reason that they're considered unable to consent is that we have decided that the brain of a child is too physically immature to reason on certain things. We restrict them from other things (especially medical procedures) for the same reason.

That being said, you obviously haven't researched jack shit regarding this topic considering some of the points you bring up.

>>1368446
Several reasons:
1) Sex is a mean of procreation and kids aren't geared towards it(before widespread legislation kicked in, "if it bleeds it can breed" was a common attitude towards it). Now I don't agree with it fully because casual sex is cool but there is a point in it when you think of what does it mean when you think of paedophiles from this side - kids have very minimal amounts of "sexual" physical characteristics, therefore a person who is attracted to them is at least some heavy case of fetishist.
2) Kids aren't fully conscious of their decisions - you wouldn't let 8 years old to take mortgage. As for your swimming analogy - most parents don't throw their kids into water and tell them "lol, swim", but rather they teach them how to swim or have an instructor to do it.
3) Human emotional development takes much longer than you'd think and, just like "early porn", early sex, especially this early may hinder it. It may, but for sure it'll make their social development much more troubled(which is a case with porn btw.).
4) Our social relations have certain rules to them and intentionally trying to change them is idiotic, especially on individual's level. A 6 years old boy being horny for sex with his 6 year old girl friends(not girlfriends) is bound to have lots of troubles everywhere. Girl would probably get exploited by paedophiles left and right.

And there's more.

Of course the legislation around it in some countries is retarded with some states in the US having legal age set as high as 18 etc. but that's beyond the point.

>>1368446
Children are stupid, to be blunt. Sex is just sex, but unwanted sex is traumatic, if there is the slightest risk of sex being traumatic and no reason to have sex it is unjust. The margin of error shouldn't be in the "grey area".

You are obviously that pedophile rumored to spend all day posting this everywhere on 4chan even though you constantly get BTFO. Thankyou for gracing our humble board, I see you brought a picture of that cretin gary glitter.

Disgusting.

That's that Limbo was invented for.

Do they at least get a chance to move to Heaven? Is it really fair not to give them a chance if they lived a thousand years before christ and a thousand miles away?

Yes, obviously. 1st commandment....

Nothing you said is correct.

Traditionally red is revolution and white is reaction.

A fist is generally a socialist symbol, and the hammer and sickle are obviously communist.

>>1361960
Napoleon was extremely succesful and great so I don't see how that comparison holds.

>>1361960
He didn't lead battles personally, and he personally ordered the deaths of millions of people.

I think, no.

>>1361964
>>1361965
I meant it in the sense that he was one of the people who induced profound, irreversible changes in the world.

> Prison is for rehabilitating criminals

No it's not. It's foremost purpose is to remove criminals from society as they are individuals that have shown to everyone that they pose a threat. Rehabilitation is a secondary purpose that is only attempted, let alone achieved, in certain instances. A society's desire to see one pay for their crimes is another secondary purpose on a similar level.

>>1368331
Because then it implies that with enough time anyone can get away with anything despite being caught. Shouldn't have killed two individuals. If he has a good lawyer the lawyer can probably get him some good slack.

>>1368331
If you use right or wrong terms you are trying to criticise justice by its own logic.Needs a bigger perspective.

There were no laws that said 'Catholics have half a vote'; just laws that made it so Catholics had half as many votes per head than Protestants. Own your home? You could vote. Renting? You could not.

The IRA won voting rights for Catholics, and stopped, allowing the rest of the process to continue peacefully. Of course, some elements didn't stop, either for ideological or financial reasons.

Wanting equal rights for catholics is not the same as being republican.

Being unionist is not the same as wanting to treat catholics as second class citizens.

Unionists and republicans are against eachother. Protestants and catholics are 'against' eachother. There is some overlap between the two issues, but they are not one and the same.

>Wanting equal rights for catholics is not the same as being republican.

It's sort of the same thing. Republicans wanted equal rights for Catholics in the United Kingdom as their minimum necessary requirement, and they got it.

Unionists /do/ want to treat Catholics as second-class citizens, when they oppose votes that would bring counties into the Republic, they're denying those individuals full citizenship (which naturally includes the right to leave).

America was great from 1776 to 1963. After that it's varied between shit and decent

Americans just want a reason to shoot fire works and to be proud of being a independent nation for over 200 years. Liberal cucks just hate this because they can't wank off to europoors enough and so they do shit like burn American flags and post on Facebook.

You could say that same stuff about every nation that contributed to history. It's all meaningless anyway, just people misremembering a past before heavy industry left for Asia. And of course the US deserves credit, people make fun of us because retards like you take them seriously.

Not really any that both hold up to scrutiny *and* specify a particular god, and definitely not from that guy.

Thankfully /pol/'s too stupid to understand most of Craig's bad arguments, but jeez, he really did a number on the online apologetics scene. You could check out Alvin Plantinga's stuff, but most of it basically amounts to "how can god not be real if our eyes aren't real" and is based around ideas that lead to sollipsism a lot more easily than they lead to "turns out this 2000-year-old book was RIGHT", as much as he avoids trying to admit it.

But really, no. A lot of kids who either want to spite reddit-atheists, or have recently fetishized christianity as a political device, end up looking up apologetics and coming across Craig. Yes, he "wins" his debates - by demanding both the first and last word, bombarding his opponent with far too many arguments to respond to properly in the allotted time, and then claiming victory for not being proven wrong to his own satisfaction, /v/irgin-style.

>>1369477
If you believe they are, then yes.

No, there really aren't, certainly not the stuff that WLC offers.

Then again, self-contemplation was never meant to be analyzed scientifically, which is something abrahamists never picked up on

USA manipulates the media. wheather they're jews or not.
