arguments and debate allow me to reevaluate my opinions and values, creating a point of view I’m not afraid to defend. Please don’t refrain from challenging me.
@reggggiecyde@smallthingsart@windinthemeadow For example, If there were 800 women and 3200 men, 640 women survive and 640 men survive, 80% of total women on the boat survived and only 20% of total men on the boat survived. Despite the percentage difference it’s the same amount of people due to the starting number.
@th3rizinosaur@neganchan Specifically that of minors who are significantly more capable of reformation (due to the space for development) and likely to be less capable of regulating their behaviour (due to the less developed prefrontal cortex)
@th3rizinosaur@neganchan to be highly lackluster. None of my comments have been made to defend or justify their actions, they have been made to spread awareness of the possible ill effect the OP’s post could have and advocate for reformation/rehabilitation.
@th3rizinosaur@neganchan I couldn’t care less about your religious philosophy, this is about science. No, a 15 year old brain (specifically prefrontal cortex) is not fully developed, much less 10-12.
@_AURXAIXAIII@neganchan I’m not saying we should coddle them, I’m saying we shouldn’t condemn them to hell. A teenager can be both aware their actions are malicious (to a varying extent) as well as foolish and misguided. Assigning culpability and expecting accountability ≠ condemnation
