Mike Pompeo’s Speech Writer Arrested for Child Sex Crimes

Some countries, by some countries I mean countries like our literal neighbor Canada and the UK. And since they are countries similar to our own that being both western. To group a common age of consent around the world into "children sex crimes" doesn't make logical sense.

Why is this a radical though?

Am I not on a liberal reddit right now? Of all the Reddits to behave myopic concerning laws I wouldn't think it would be liberals.

I mean we complain about republican myopia calling things radical by pointing to every other large western nation and saying "it isn't radical! We are the ones who are outside of the loop and radical"

But if I do the exact same for a different set of laws by pointing to again... every other large western nation like ours, that is wrong and now is the time to be myopic?

I am for gun laws, I will use examples concerning our issues by noting other countries and noting the myopic behaviour of the right is illogical and point to other countries to show that "see it can work". But in this case, I am not to do that because you do not agree with my opinion?

That is a dishonest way to have an argument, you can't pick and choose when to be myopic and when not to be. When to use examples from our allies and nation peers, and discard them when it doesn't fit you.
