Current Events > Missouri Republican defends marriage to 12 year olds on video

(+) Yeah! (+)

Degenerates like that belong on a cross.

Maybe I'm jaded by the lack of rights kids have in school, but when he mentioned "Kids rights" my knee jerk reaction was "kids don't have rights" (obv they do)

And honestly, we shouldn't give them the right to get married at 12 (with parents permission). To anyone. Including other 12 year olds.

Next thing you know they'll be saying "Well, if parents want to arrange marriages for their 12 year old daughters, then that's the parents' right"

What I don't get is other Republican positions are just a political shibboleth for them, like abortion, largely meant as their own form of virtue signaling and in-grouping. Politicians defending child marriage doesn't really track with ANY of their supposed positions, it's the weirdest fucking thing they defend.

No, they do not. The cross is the place of Jesus Christ, who, contrary to what the right-wing white supremacist evangelicals *claim*, actually didn't give much of a flying fuck about marriage.

This guy belongs deep in the ocean alongside Osama bin Laden, who shared many of his beliefs.

Of course it did, because I have never played the game. Incidentally, I do have it installed on my computer, but it's another game in a very long backlog of games that I just haven't gotten around to.

You have it installed? Bro, uninstall your inactives

A normal country would immediately investigate this dude when he said he knows 12 year olds that have been married. To figure out who they are and arrest them for rape.

He should've been called a pedophile right to his face. It doesn't matter how he tries to defend his stance, he is a pedophile who wants to have sex with children.

Are there any conservatives left on CE that will try to defend this?

I've got a ton of games that I haven't gotten around to playing. Between Skyrim, the Arkham games, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Quest XI, Disco Elysium, finally beating FF12, GTA5, Trails in the Sky, Ni No Kuni, Persona 4 Golden, the Portal series, Tales of Berseria/Symphonia, and The Witcher 3...yeah, there's a lot to get to.

And then there's all the free stuff from Epic like Civ 6, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Death Stranding...the backlog alone is a solid few hundred hours

How does he get elected?

what is this?

I just don't understand.

Any other country, that guy's career would be stone dead. He'd be on the front of every newspaper as the 'Paedo Politician'. Police would be investigating.

US republicans have become extremely obvious with it but I'm pretty sure most countries have leaders who do this, like Prince Andrews.

It's a bit different from an elected representative standing up in a political forum and openly advocating for the right of everyone to marry 12 year olds without being torn to pieces by the media and the electorate.

I agree. There is a difference between "prominent figure with no political power is an abusive piece of shit" and "politician literally pushing for laws to enable abusive pieces of shit".

This shit is all too fucking common in the US, and it's fucking disgusting and has to stop. The worst part? In many cases the parents of the kids are the ones who encourage it.

I saw a BBC documentary about child marriage in the US where a (clearly paedo) older guy got permission to marry a man's daughter after the father suggested he bought him a case of beer to smooth things over.

But, y'know, parental rights are what's important (/s).

Death Stranding came to epic? Dang I must have missed that one.

The Epic Games Store has a lot of pretty good free giveaways every once in a while. I'm not sure if I paid for Death Stranding or if I got it for free. All I remember is that I...really could not get into the game. Maybe one of these days I'll give it another try, but I remember it being a slow game. I'm not sure what it is, but I just have a hard time getting into games where the action or plot do not engross me within the first hour. Maybe it's because I'm older and busier, and because of them, I'm just not willing to spend as much time on the "getting into the game" phase...instead I'd rather just jump into the actual fun part.

I know there are some concerns about the Epic Games Store and data privacy, but honestly, at this point, American tech companies have shown themselves to be pretty shitty people as well. I figure if I'm going to deal with a shitty tech company, I might as well deal with one that gives me perks.

We can't coexist with these weirdos.

Random thought that popped into my head.

Say a law got overturned and this legally became a thing in said state. People take advantage of it.

If they then travel to a state where they aren't stupid and its still illegal, can the person then be arrested? Or because its legal in said state, they get free reign to travel?
