What happens to a child if you never teach them about colors?
-->
@Vaarka
Let's say that, you the parent, decide to not teach your child about color. Let's say that, for the sake of the scenario, no outside force tries to intervene or attempts to mention color around this child. Putting aside all the morals and whatnot around this, how would this child turn out?

If I were to take this child at the age of eight, and said child had never even heard of color, and then asked him to describe the sky, how would he answer? Would he try to describe the clouds and their shapes? Would he try to describe it as "bright" or "light"?
The child would definitely grow up not colour blind.

In a world where God exists, should we obey him?
-->
@Hero1000
The question
Under such a scenario, should we obey God? (And how much/to what extent should we obey him?) And in whichever case the answer is, would that answer be because of ethical reasons, pragmatic reasons, and/or whichever else other reasons you can think of? Additionally can you imagine variables that would change your answer to this exercise? (Such as for example the specifics of what God's message is)
All he has to prove he is God with all the above qualities and the world will accept him.

Hinduism is often considered the oldest existing religion still practiced today. While this may be true, it’s important to note that Hinduism does not have any particular founder or a single text, but instead combines several ancient traditions and beliefs.
The oldest scripture of Hinduism is the Rig Veda, which is believed to be about 3,500 years old. However, archaeologists have found bull and cow motifs, which are sacred animals in Hinduism, dating back to around 7,000 BCE during a time when an ancient civilization inhabited the area near the Indus River.
Today, Hinduism is practiced by millions of people around the world, but primarily in India and the surrounding countries.
The most important teaching I. Hinduism is the concept of Karma or self accountability. There is no one to forgive you for your sins but yourself and Karma rewards or punishes you for your actions.

@Best.Korea
Thats not a negation of my argument, but anyway. This society even today doesnt actually care about forcing or hurting children. People hurt children all the time, punish them, yell at them, spank them, force them to do things they dont want, neglect them, refuse to talk to them, try to control every part of their life, all scientifically proved to harm child's mental health, give them junk food which ruins their teeth and health, circumcise them, allow bullying in schools, bully trans children online, most even greatly endanger child's lives by speeding and being careless in traffic, and allow smoking. They just pretend they care because they prefer to live in some fantasy delusion than to face the truth, and they pretend to care so that they would have some delusional excuse to do witch hunts and have more delusional excuse to hurt others. For them, it’s not about protecting children because they dont care about own children. For them, it’s all about finding excuses to hurt people they dont like, and imposing control over others. It was always that, and nothing else. You can see it in politics, in constant wars, in media, and in economy. So anyone who cares about consent and preventing harm cannot actually be in agreement with most of society.
To prevent child abuse abortion was introduced. China is a good example. But Americans want to return to the days of child abuse by banning abortions.

@Best.Korea
"In 1880, the ages of consent were set at 10 or 12 in most states, with the exception of Delaware where it was 7."

It says right in the wiki site you quoted from.
The decision to raise the age of consent to 16 in 1885, with higher penalties for offences against girls under the age of 13, resulted from the combination of a child protection agenda and a perceived need to control juvenile sexualities.

The age of consent in the US has been raised from 10, and even lower in some cases, to a range of 16 to 18, driven by a combination of child protection concerns, changing societal views on sexual maturity, and feminist activism advocating for greater sexual autonomy for young people.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Historical Context:
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the age of consent laws in the US varied significantly by state, with some as low as 7 or 10.
Rise of Reform Movements:
Feminist and child protection groups advocated for raising the age of consent, arguing that young people were not mature enough to make informed decisions about sexual activity and needed protection from exploitation.
Shifting Societal Views:
As societal views on sexual maturity and the rights of young people evolved, there was a growing consensus that the age of consent should be raised to better reflect the developmental capacity of adolescents.
Impact of Reform:
By the 1920s, most states had raised the age of consent to between 16 and 18, and by the 1970s, the focus shifted to making the laws gender-neutral and challenging the foundations of statutory rape laws.
Current Status
Currently, the unrestricted age of consent in all U.S. states is between 16 and 18.

@Best.Korea
You cant see gravity. You can only observe effects it has on things. Gravity is like magic which cannot be explained yet. We just know its there somewhere, causing things to happen. However, I have yet to see an explanation of what gravity actually is. We know that gravity is everywhere around us, but the problem rises in the fact that no one can explain why one body is capable of sending some "invisible hand" which pulls other bodies towards it. Its like there is some world out there which we cannot yet detect. It literally works like magic.

Gravity explained.

Gravity is a fundamental force of attraction between any two objects with mass or energy, causing them to pull towards each other, with stronger pulls occurring between objects with greater mass and closer proximity.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
Universal Attraction:
Gravity is a universal force, meaning that every object in the universe, regardless of its size or composition, experiences a gravitational pull towards every other object.

Mass and Distance:
The strength of gravity depends on two main factors: mass and distance.
Mass: The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull.
Distance: The closer two objects are to each other, the stronger the gravitational pull between them.

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
Sir Isaac Newton described gravity as a force that acts between all objects with mass, stating that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity:
Albert Einstein later proposed a different view of gravity, stating that gravity is not a force but rather a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.

Nope, the generational  transfer of Christian data has stood the test of a few thousand years.

Prior to the book, there were millions of years of other versions of stood time testing.

Being stupidly clever is a prime example.

And we didn't stop being cleverly stupid once the book had been compiled...Far from it.

-->
@Best.Korea
USA did have age of consent at 10 for almost hundred years in some states, but it was different back then. Child abuse didnt reduce later with increasing age of consent. It even increased. Giving children right to consent protects children from abuse. If parents have no right to deny their children of choice, then they are less likely to deny children of choice. This protects children from over controlling parents. Over controlling parents are scientifically proved to harm child's decision making development and child's knowledge and confidence and ability to reject unwanted advances. Sadly, today, there are bunch of control freak parents who think children are their property, and their children either rush into relationships to escape parent's control or they become incapable of even having decent relationships.

Get your facts right.
The ages of consent were raised across the U.S. during the late 19th century and the early 20th century. By 1920, 26 states had an age of consent at 16, 21 states had an age of consent at 18, and one state (Georgia) had an age of consent at 14.

There is a really good do on the GFC of 2008 titled “Inside Job.” It makes one think that things could not have gone worse if it were our goal to cause a financial crisis. The Great Depression led to the Glass Steagall Act which prohibited the commingling of commercial banking with investment banking. It seemed to work. Then the Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (I think) largely undid that policy. I believe this was a pivotal cause of the GFC. The Dodd Frank Act was then enacted to make banks more conservative in their reserves, but I still think it is not as effective a preventative measure as was Glass Steagall.
All the examples you have given came from the west. This proves only China can be trusted.

What is the youngest consent law?
Age of consent in the United States
In the United States, each state and territory sets the age of consent either by statute or the common law applies, and there are several federal statutes related to protecting minors from sexual predators. Depending on the jurisdiction, the legal age of consent is between 16 and 18.

Law doesnt determine the truth. Present reasons for why children shouldnt have a choice.

Why can't children make decisions?
Cognitive Development: Children's brains are still developing, particularly the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and understanding long-term consequences. This can lead to choices that are not fully informed or rational.

Why? Is granting children the right to choose really something you want?
Yes. If children cant consent, then they either are property with other people making decisions for them, which is slavery, either other people cant make decisions for them, and then no decisions can even be logically made and every option is wrong, which cannot work.

Kids younger than 12 cannot consent to any type of sexual activity. Having sex with a child younger than 12 is against the law and is sexual abuse

About eight-in-ten U.S. murders in 2023 – 17,927 out of 22,830, or 79% – involved a firearm. That was among the highest percentages since 1968, the earliest year for which the CDC has online records. More than half of all suicides in 2023 – 27,300 out of 49,316, or 55% – also involved a gun.
… I want to test your critical thinking skills, Shila. For the point you want to make, the data you cite contains an underlying assumption about a policy change you propose. What is it, and how would someone who is pro-gun argue the assumption is flawed?
Guns are the leading cause of deaths in America. To combat the killing pro gun advocates should also be pro life advocates.

Trump is misguided on the trade deficit
Trump thinks it's totally unacceptable that we buy a lot more from other countries than they do from us. The only thing that proves tho, is that other countries sell stuff so cheap. And, mainly, it shows that the usa has a strong dollar, which indicates its more cost effective to have a negative trade deficit with other countries. Which means our economy is strong. 

Trumps underlying premises r screwed up
None of this will still be true after Trump collapses our economy AGAIN.
Trump filed 7 corporate bankruptcies, a failed airline, a failed magazine, a failed scam university, three failed casinos, a failed pandemic response, the worst jobs record of any U.S. president, two impeachments, and 34 criminal convictions, Trump was fined 464 million dollars for business fraud and is in court for paying a porn star Stormy Daniels hush money. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years . Covid under Trump was responsible for 1.2 million American deaths.

If Canada did become the 51st state, the Republicans would never win another election, Canadians are overwhelmingly liberal. 
Canada has about the same population and leanings as California, so yes, Republicans would, as a party, end. Politics will then be between moderate Californians and Radical Californians. Adding 54 left-leaning Canadian members to the Congress is enough to practically rewrite the constitution. Adding 54 electoral votes for the left means they can win every election with the support of 15 blue states. No swing states needed.
