You're on a message board on the internet. If you don't want to see people give their views, and see others agree with said views, then maybe this isn't the place for you.

Yeah that does work both ways.  Bit of a futile post really.

Wow, I sound like a despicable human being. Only that's not how it went though was it, 
"hammering kids", um, no, I have no problem with parents physically chastising their offspring under the current laws though. Now while I get that you're quick to run off at the mouth, if you're the same with your fists don't tar us all with the same brush. 
" blacking up", I've said it wasn't for me but as its still legal its one of the many distasteful things that can and do go on. 
"sex with minors", you'll have to fill me in on that one.
"the Orange order", again, distasteful and not my bag but not illegal.
The circle jerk has done a fantastic job of ridding our society of all of the above,  well done, I'm glad we live in a country free from it all.
Isn't it you guys that are supposed to be sticking it to the man, what we me being all 'yer da' and pro establishment etc. Apparently. :lol:
 
Definitely putting the jerk in the circle though, well done mate.

So if noncing became legal you’d be accepting of that? Seems weird to accept things just cause they’re technically legal.

What a bizarre scenario. Different countries have different ages of consent as it is.  NOT THAT I'M SUGGESTING IT but nature has decreed the age of consent as when the body is able to reproduce. Here we have arbitrarily called it 16, other cultures and countries have different  ideas.

What age do you think people should legally be able to have sex ?

“First they came for the socialists but I didn’t speak out because I didn’t want to circlejerk

Then they came for the trade unionists but I didn’t speak out because I didn’t want to circlejerk

Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I didn’t want to circlejerk

Then they came for me and there was no one to jerk off for me”

First they came for the socialists but we protested and stopped them

Then they came for the trade unionists but we protected them

Then they came for the Jews but we drove them away

Then they came for the Orange Order and we said "Crack on guys, want a hand?”

So if it was lowered to 14 you’d be cool with that, yeah?

It is in some countries and no I wouldn't. Its not something I lose any sleep over though, I can't see it happening somehow.

Now its your turn, what age do you think the age of consent should be.

Some people should never be allowed to.

I’m fine with where it’s at although I would turn the “half your age and add 7” rule into law.

...The bit I take issue with you is when you describe the UK's constitution as, "fossilized from the 17th century".  My take is that the 1688 revolution was Britain's liberation in that it placed decision-making firmly with Parliament rather than the Crown.  The natural conclusion of the Williamite revolution should have been secular government which all sane people would embrace...

...but it wasn't because the Enlightenment hadn't happened yet, which means that there is still a state religion and pre-democratic monarchy cult at the core of it all rather than a separation of Church and State and as much as people like to pretend that the UK is a modern secular state in reality it isn't because its formation predated the emergence from the despotism of absolute monarchy of the 19th century nation state that tended to emerge elsewhere at a signifcantly later date based on the ideals of the French and American revolutions. Flowing from that Irish Roman Catholic society and its west of Scotland branch plant didn't follow the conventional historical development experienced elsewhere in RC countries in western Europe of an anti-clerical liberal and then a socialist strand within the new secular nation state challenging and breaking the dominance of the church hierarchy so Cardinal Winning was still viewed as speaking on behalf of an entire community in relatively recent times, and Scotland retained separate national institutions in 1707 to accomodate its Presbyterianism and didn't become the equivalent of a German lander or Italian province leading to the emergence of a strong independence movement after 300 years of Union despite not having a significant language issue to fuel it, so there  is a lot more going on than just what the Orange Order gets up to that is decidedly odd when viewed from outside.
