  • But should it be work?

    Should we really have a society where selling your body is an opportunity to make money.

    For instance, it imply that some poor women are gonna take it regardless the consequence, just because it’s the best alternative to pay the bills.

    I can barely tolerate the physical straining we put on some workers. Sex work’s consequences are unacceptable to me in that same sens, sometimes worse.

    So sure, no matter your opinion we should respect them, and not incriminate them!

    And of course not all sex work is the same… to be acceptable it just requires better conditions. It can’t be something you choose out of need.



  • It is good, but i also like some commas too.

    For less important propositions, or to have some propositions closer together. Just like paragraphs link some sentences together when having the same point.

    I think having that registery and doing it right is really what’s important. Short sentences is great advice because it breaks the habit of long ones, which we get from speaking.


  • The implication is that you know the next part of the sentence but keep it unwritten. The best exemple is when making a list, a, b c …

    Sometimes it’s even just a indicator there’s gonna be a next part, like the “We need to talk…”

    Although the more degenerate use is to imply the “you know what i mean/imply”, a bit like the english innit in some sens.


  • I agree, the sooner the better.

    Sex ed is what makes children mature enough to have sex once they reach the age of doing it.

    But what’s the point of raising the age of consent?

    My point is there isn’t any if sex ed is done well, it only makes sex more taboo.

    Conversely, if you want to raise it, maybe it’s because sex ed wasn’t done properly, making teens not able to be mature enough for an activity they are gonna do anyway.

    For driving, I would agree in general we aren’t good at driving, but changing our means of transport isn’t easy, despite being the best solution. That wasn’t really the topic though…

    Thinking people in their late teenage years and young adults aren’t mature enough to do some of those things is just a big tell of how bad we educate them rather than their brain not being “developed”.

    Consent is the most obvious example, teenagers are gonna have a sexual life no matter what you want them to do. Removing consent just remove yourself from the responsibility of educating them and entice them to stay hidden.

    Driving is also just necessary to anyone working, again being safe just need to be taught, plenty of adults are just as immature and stupid.

    The same can be said for drinking or smoking, prevention is so much more effective than restrictions.

    However, for voting or joining the army that’s when i agree. Because the system is built to prey on them, making sure they stay uneducated and vulnerable. So only then does having restrictions make sens to keep them safe.



  • Not sure I share that viewpoint for the US, the history of the indigenous is the story of the people, not the nation.

    And the US has many more populations that have great history, from EU and Africa.

    But the beginning of its history is founded on the gathering and interaction of all those different cultures.

    So for me saying the country is young doesn’t quite have the same connotations of erasure from colonialist, it mostly makes me think of how current the melting pot of all those different cultures are.

    I still agree we shouldn’t diminish the importance of indigenous people in it.




  • I’m exactly like that too. I think my nature isn’t nice, but i can choose to be.

    And i’m also admiring anyone that as that nice nature, i find it beautiful and extremely attractive. So to a degree i have that goal of trying to choose it whenever i can.

    One drawback, wich also coincide with my very rational personality is that i hate having too strong of an emotion, had anger issues as a kid, but also the start of love is somewhat unpleasant for example.

    But hey, to me as long as your trying to be better, your are good person.
