I think the age of consent in the US should be 16. It is for pretty much every other 1st world country.

It varies by state actually, and I think it is in fact 16 in a number of states. AFAIK it's the average age of consent in Canada as well, though at one time Alberta's AoC was only 14.

Communism is an inherently unworkable system, not because it functions correctly as a theoretical ideology, but merely it is unstable in a sociological fashion.

For instance, if I owned a farm and had to always give a percentage of my harvested bushels to the authorities, I am innately going to keep more than I should. As such, it is human behavior and wants that prevent pure communism from ever correctly materializing.

Putin is a good guy and has given hope to the rest of the world, in the fight against the NWO.

Don't underestimate the pleasure of doing that just so others can't have the food. Besides, they'll feel they're doing the right thing if the others haven't earned it.

The age of consent should be renamed. It should be made clear its purpose is not just to protect minors from sexual abusers, but to make sure they don't get sexual release in any way, shape or form, simply because older and wiser people don't want them to, and optionally reinforce this with religion or anything else that imbues their personal taste of unquestionable moral authority.

It shouldn't be a fixed age, either. It probably should never be lower than 20, maybe 25, maybe 30, but, in any case, you should be required to prove you're an independent and non-dysfunctional adult; better yet, that you've been one for ten years. It should cost money so you prove you can afford it, and, needless to say, receiving any kind of government handout whatsoever should disqualify you for life. Living at your parents' home, or any other family members', or getting any kind of financial support from them past the age of 18 should disqualify you for life, too.

Anyone caught having sex in violation of these rules, or with reasonable evidence to suspect they've done it, should be immediately castrated.

If Trump is elected, the US will become a worse dystopia than it is already.

Good luck trying to enforce that.

Tell me that is some sort of satire post.

I hope so too, because honestly, I think most people lose their virginities some time in their mid-late teens. Not saying it's something I necessarily endorse, but it's not really unusual considering that mere thousands of years ago, maybe even a bit less, people were lucky to make it to their 40s. The age of consent here is 16, which I think makes sense. Teenagers have raging hormones, and they make mistakes, but they shouldn't be penalized for it, especially not the way that was described. Instead, they should be taught about safe sex, and making good choices.

I think that the UN, Obama, Merkel, etc helped create ISIS and are using ISIS as their "Separatist Army" and the war in the Middle East is their "Clone Wars". They are invading Europe and the US with ISIS guys posing as refugees and that they intend to create enough chaos that they will then "fix", wiping out ISIS but also making themselves dictators in the process, creating a new world order. They attempt to destroy national borders in order to destroy nations and create a One World Government.

The UN needs to be disbanded and its leaders executed for crimes against humanity.

Both parties in the US are merely puppets of the New World Order. Oddly enough, I think Putin wants his own New World Order, and, though he is not a good guy, he is against the current New World Order scheme. Trump might be the same way.

Trump didn't actually call all Latinos rapist, just the illegal immigrants. I don't believe what he says, but to try to project that slander onto all Latinos is intellectually dishonest. Technically, he also assumed that some of that subgroup of rapists are good people, it's all in the wording.

John Kascich is the only "likeable" candidate in the 2016 Republican field.

I would say he's the most likable, but only in terms of attitude. Trump is actually liberal when it comes to state marijuana legalization, Kasich isn't. Kasich is actually more pro-war than Trump also. Kasich is better than Cruz though. Kasich won't win. He's just in to take Ohio from Trump. He might win two states.

Jim Webb is better than Bernie Sanders and would have made a great president.
