Your country allows it all the time.

I gave you the Wiki page with verifiable references. There are 300,000 child brides in the USA. Go do some reading on the topic.

It happened 300,000 times to minors in the USA. You off that high horse of yours yet?

If you were hungry, would you eat the least rotten in the box? Or just choose to starve?

USA allows child brides. Most of them are marriages between adult men and underage girls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States Between 2000 and 2018, nearly 300,000 minors were legally married in the United States.[13] The vast majority of child marriages in the U.S. were between a minor girl and an adult man.[13][14][15] In many cases, minors in the U.S. may be married when they are under the age of sexual consent, which varies from 16 to 18 depending on the state.[16] In some states, minors cannot legally divorce or leave their spouse, and domestic violence shelters typically do not accept minors.[17][18]

Wouldn’t it be a big admission that his own platform is a failure? -
If you want to be rich like Trump, inherit money.

What Has Been Your Pandemic Experience?

Because you think a horse dewormer is effective on viruses, and the experts don’t think so, that’s when you bought into conspiracy theories. Wow. -
Price of diesel goes up to 3.04 cents in NB
TreeBeard replied to Army Guy's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Wait a sec…. Alberta has said for decades that it’s provincial jurisdiction. But you blame the Feds for a lack of refineries? And all on one guy from 50 years ago? Unfortunately, being a small market compared to the giant south of us, it hasn’t made sense for companies to build refineries in Canada to supply our small market. It would have taken massive subsidies, which, while it may have kept prices lower (arguable) for those who purchase it, the responsibility of paying for it shifts to taxpayers. If you need diesel, why am I easing your burden at the pump by having my taxes subsidize the price? Its not as simple as most people like to make it out to be. -
China has infiltrated the federal government

No, that’s a simpleton, unrealistic view of selling resources. -

Nonsense. They’re our 2nd largest trading nation in terms of exports. You make it sound as if we hardly send anything their way. -
A judge overturned the “woke” law in Florida that would have allowed the state to say what could and could not be taught at universities. The judge quoted Orwell’s 1984 in describing the law. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/3740100-judge-strikes-down-higher-education-portions-of-desantiss-stop-woke-act/ “‘It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen,’ and the powers in charge of Florida’s public university system have declared the State has unfettered authority to muzzle its professors in the name of ‘freedom,’” Walker wrote. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and state GOP lawmakers championed the legislation as fighting back against a “woke” agenda pushed by liberals and banning the instilling of critical race theory. An undergraduate student, student organization and professor at the University of South Florida filed the suit in September and were supported by a variety of legal advocacy organizations. Walker ruled the First Amendment protects professors’ in-class speech and the provisions were impermissibly vague, describing the law as “positively dystopian” as he compared it to the Ministry of Truth, the propaganda agency in Orwell’s novel.

Agreed, we do not have a “world police” or an actual world court to enforce these things. There are dispute mechanisms with respect to borders and such, but once the missiles start flying, there’s nothing that happens to enforce what’s there. However, that doesn’t mean that “might makes right” is written into international law, as was claimed.

Ms America: You Can't Control the World
TreeBeard replied to August1991's topic in The Rest of the World
1919? Why do you need to go back a century for an example? Do you have more modern examples?
