Maybe by then the Japanese and SK will have some too. The PRC isn't going to do anything substantial to NK, if only b/c it keeps the US and others somewhat off balance. The NK know this and use it to their advantage. I guess NK will play brinksmanshi...  [Read More]

I think China is only supporting the PDRK because they don't want a NATO allied country right on their borders. China's relations with North Korea have been a bit strained after NK unveiled the missiles, IIRC. I would handle the situation in the fol...  [Read More]

Marriage is linked to therelgions because the early Christian church (Pre Catholic) made marriages not only religious but legal ceremonies. That meant they could control dynasties by limiting their right to the franchise. The English break away came...  [Read More]

My argument exactly. The limit of 'child' is put at 18 because it is believed people at 18 can make rational decisions. But, like you say, that is not always the case. But satisfying the average Joe is already better then satisfying the perverts by...  [Read More]

The problem is definition of what is a child. I have met many a woman between my age and majority who have less capable brains than my own 20 year old Niece. I have also met children who know and understand a lot more of the world than their own pare...  [Read More]
