    What is wrong with those people who believe it is okay to marry prepubescent children? :(

    In many societies girls as young as twelve are already accomplished at performing household tasks and both girls and boys assist their families in providing income. Again it is modern and mainly western phenomenon that a sixteen-year-old is viewed as a kid who cannot take upon them any...

    For those who think that prophet Mohammad was a pedophile

    Nope, 14 year-old does not qualify for paedophilia.

    Macho men on the decline

    That is nonsense.

    Macho men on the decline

    No one is saying men should have testosterone levels above the normal range. There is not evidence that people in the 1950s had unhealthy levels of testosterone. It is simply noted in the article that they had more testosterone. Now some people are saying that is a good thing and others that it...

    What is wrong with those people who believe it is okay to marry prepubescent children? :(

    Cultural norms do need to be questioned and criticized, I agree. But I am playing devils advocate here and showing why things are not as clear cut as we might like them to be. I question, for example, why you think people who are ready for sex (and the risk of pregnancy) are not ready for...

    What is wrong with those people who believe it is okay to marry prepubescent children? :(

    The OP asks why some people think it is okay to marry pre pubescent girls. Firstly there is no definitive age for puberty, only average ages. FYI the average age for girls is 11 and for boys it is 12. This means biology is a physical manifestation rather than a simple function of time. Some can...

    What is wrong with those people who believe it is okay to marry prepubescent children? :(

    But clearly this isn't a debate about law but about morality. In some countries the age of consent is 12, others 14 others 18 and others 21. So there is nothing definitive about the "law". Hence this discussion is about what should be rather than about what is. In light of that @sovietchild...

    U.S. Punishes Russia for Election Hacking, Ejecting Operatives

    This most definitely is about Hillary and or the democrats. The only thing that is really known is that information was obtain from the DNC and published. It is thought that this influenced the elections (no study has been done to show that it did). It is thought that those who stole the...

    Macho men on the decline

    Of course, hence we are talking about incomplete facts. Just like there is no way of know what kind of person Timothy is just from a few posts here on RF. And yet you seem to have no problem making conclusions about his character based on precisely this limited information, that is, incomplete...

    Macho men on the decline

    Stop being melodramatic - this is a debate, no one is fighting with you. You seem to be throwing your toys out just because your double standards have been exposed. I looked on that other thread and Timothy did not say all fat people and their admirers are disgusting and pathetic. He was against...

    Macho men on the decline

    In what way does it lack incomplete facts. Being lazy (meaning willfully inactive) is known to contribute significantly to weight gain. How then does the judgement that someone who is fat is lazy lack "incomplete facts"?

    Macho men on the decline

    For some odd reason you've decided that calling people muscle-heads is okay while calling fat people disgusting is off limits. Why is that? Is it because you are not personally affected by the terms muscle-head and jerk? On what basis for example did you state that "too much testosterone can...

    Macho men on the decline

    Meaning you feel it is legitimate for someone would judge fat people as lazy?

    Macho men on the decline

    We are also judged by our appearance (we really are) - and there is equally the excuse that we don't have words or actions to go on with most people we come across in life. But I gathered from the obesity thread that you didn't much like the idea of someone judging someone's character using...

    Macho men on the decline

    Read your post again Those macho jerks are overrated anyway. Too much testosterone can completely ruin a guy. Don't get me wrong, testosterone is a wonderful thing, it powers men's sex drives and fuels their dominance, but too much of it can be the difference between the caring, nurturing...

    Macho men on the decline

    I find it interesting how readily people denigrate masculinity, "manliness" and testosterone. On this thread alone people seemed to be falling over themselves to show how little they thought of masculinity etc. all the while high-fiving each other for it. Then, on this very thread something is...

    Why the odd late in coming proposal by Kerry for Israel to be split into two states?

    I think John Kerry makes a good point. If Israel refuses the two-state solution then they would have to recognize Palestinians as equal citizens. And since the Arabs are soon project to outnumber the Jews Israel would cease to be a Jewish state.
