Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Tell us exactly when a teenager stops being a child, because mine is two years into it and she's definitely still a kid.
Woooooosh
Please explain what I missed, because I don't appear to be the only one.
Read the Charles Darwin bit a few times till it seeps in?
This is a very stupid game. If you're not going to tell me what I missed, forget it.
~~I don't get it at all... My best guess is that because OP once heard Darwin say "people tend to cue fights they anticipate in hopes it will deter the fight", that OP somehow hoped by saying "a minor is not a child", no one would have a fight regarding if a minor is a child?~~
~~But like, obviously it would cause the fight, so that can't be it. And it leaves me with so many questions...~~
~~A minor is of an age that they are incapable of giving consent, so everything after is just linguistic debates pushed by pedos right?~~
~~What does Charles Darwin have to do with this at all?~~
~~How, in this case, are evolution and fight prevention related?~~
~~How is evolutionary based fight prevention and the definition of "a minor" related?~~
~~Can a joke be funny, even if no one gets it?~~
Edit: Shit, just got it.
I see that people didn't see the comment by Charles Darwin and/or didn't read my entire comment.
I read your entire comment. I've read it again. I have no idea why that means you are refusing to answer my question. Especially when you said "Well, actually, a minor is not a kid." Not Charles Darwin. Nothing to do with fighting.
So, I will ask you again, exactly when does a teenager stop being a child?
I think people are kids into their 20s. Or colloquially, your children stay your kids their whole lives.
Cue someone writing, "Well actually, the comment was referencing the user CharlesDarwin and not the theologian turned naturalist."
So your point is that Matt Gaetz raped a child but not a minor?
Okay then?
