Actually, I wouldn't mind an age of maturity standard. If you're living on your own and working for over a year to support yourself, you probably should be able to qualify for more adult rights. Not sure which ones though.

Yeah, and we should allow 7 years olds to open carry in public, and drink alcohol.. Who can say it's bad for all of them to do it since you don't want age of consent laws, or evaluations of maturity to apply.


Huh?

The left has set the standard that a girl under 18 is adult enough to get an abortion without parental consent.

The left has set the standard that if you want to deny people who love each other the right to marry then you are a bigot.

So why should we deny these people the right to marry?

Emancipation does some of this already.

Conservatives support pedo's marrying children. If the Pedo is in love, GOP ok with it

He straw-manned you, in a way. "two people" != "two consenting adults"

US Intelligence pulled a spy out of Russia a few years ago because they didn't think Trump could keep his mouth shut.

All this stuff he is declassifying is gold to our enemies. Amateurs took the high-res photo he released and mapped it to a specific military satellite that was overhead. If they had any questions about the satellite's abilities, they don't now.

mini-misers and apologists over to you.

As usual abortion is a complicated issue. But I don't believe parents should force a child to have a baby, or force a child to have an abortion, or force a child to give up a baby for adoption.

But the state has always exercised the right to de-parent unfit parents, under things like abuse, neglect, etc., whether child or adult is a parent.. But the state can't force an abortion or an adoption on the child-parent either.

Last administration they just had to hack a home-brew server to get this kind of thing. Now they have to work for a living!

I'm guessing that you didn't read the whole story. They started planning this exfiltration due to compromise during the Obama administration but decided it was the right time after some additional Trump comments.

The investigation found no evidence her server was ever hacked. Let's see how Trump's device usage stands up to his carelessness. Probably horrible. Guy invites Russian spies into oval office and gives them a show and tell.
