@MuadFree@wazzak23 Ah, the true enemy of the English - the nation in Europe who hangs its hunting dogs, tortures bulls to death and has longstanding (and recent) traditions around abusing animals.
The only reason Spain is not hated by all is because you fell out of global prominence so fast
@Carlychurch15@AgileHarvey@ToryWipeout Christ you are dense aren't you?
I'm drawing a comparison to your train of logic. If we accept your logic, it would also apply to the other examples. You are complaining about an arbitrary line being drawn when one already exists - it's merely shifting position
@Carlychurch15@AgileHarvey@ToryWipeout So you think children should be allowed to gamble, drink and watch porn because Parents can just monitor their kids and make sure they gamble responsibly? π
@Carlychurch15@AgileHarvey@ToryWipeout ? You suggested that.
I was explaining why they aren't gonna ban it for adults. Thought that was blindingly obvious.
As an adult you can make better more informed decisions than when you are 12
@Carlychurch15@AgileHarvey@ToryWipeout Again, so what?
You as an adult have lots of restrictions on what you can and can't do.
There are heaps of studies showing SM is harmful for kids, so they're taking steps
@Carlychurch15@AgileHarvey@ToryWipeout Yeah, what's your point here? They also ban kids from drinking, getting married, working, and make them go to school.
@Carlychurch15@AgileHarvey@ToryWipeout So because a child has crap parents we just shouldn't care about their welfare?
Guess you also don't care about grooming gangs because if they'd had better parents it wouldn't have been a problem?
@TheFemoid Scotland spent centuries raiding northern England for cattle and (earlier) slaves. *They* would later unite the kingdoms under a Scottish king.
Ireland sure, but Scotland has no right to complain - which is generally a modern thing too
@PerkinWerbecque@_airbent You may want to look into the Nazis privatisation. Because they used that word the same way as they used socialist.
If it's something you find interesting the book Vampire Economy is very good. Contemporary communist author
@PerkinWerbecque@_airbent It was more complex than you imagine. Hitler had meetings with industrialists where he essentially said "donate to the Nazis and follow our orders or I will destroy you", and maintained state control over their companies throughout the period
