Underage drinking is still more common than it should be,
Sure, but it’s significantly lower than legal drinking.
We as a society acknowledge the harm of underage drinking so prohibition is effective. Prohibition of adult drinking was puritan bullshit the majority didn’t agree with so it didn’t work.
I think you’d find a majority of parents agree social media is shit, but they’re unwilling to isolate their child. In this case prohibition would be effective.
Prohibition didn’t work for drugs either
I didn’t realize it was common for 14 year olds to drink alcohol and take heroin where you’re from…
“I only let my child smoke crack 3 hours a day”
If you set parental controls on your own teen’s device, all you’re doing is isolating them from their peers and making them the kid with the weird parent who doesn’t let them post on tik tok.
Social media isn’t what it was when we were growing up. It’s designed to prey on them the same way slot machines create gambling addictions.
I’m no puritan but I do truly believe banning kids from social media and restricting teens at a legislative level would be a net benefit for society. Same as alcohol or drugs.
Let’s ask one related question so everyone can decide whether any argument here will be handled in good faith or not.
Do you believe Bosnian Serbs were commiting genocide?
Good
How do you police someone you can’t identify?
I think you underestimate just how effective economy of scale is. Labour is also a relatively small portion of manufacturing costs.
How does this make what he said wrong?
Only PiV is illegal in Japan. All other sex work is explicitly legal.
And people forget wildlife don’t have AC.
We’ll be living in a dead world soon.
How do you feel about NIPT tests and ultrasounds?
Some people are way too attached to their disabilities.
Mate. This is the post you responded to:
I’ve always wanted to make a map that used the native names for countries instead of their English/American names.
And you then suggested a map that chose “Ireland” over Éire
I mean it’s mostly a criticism of whoever suggested this map as a way to see country names in the language of the country, rather than just English.
But it’s also kind of a pointless map as it’s not useful to an English speaker but it doesn’t commit to teaching you indigenous place names either.
That’s certainly a decision.
Looks like they specifically chose the official English names for countries even when the indigenous name is also official.
Do you believe Taiwan is going to invade the PRC?
I wonder why Ukraine can’t easily get supplies to the frontline.
Could there possibly be a larger imperialist neighbour trying to kill them???
