  • To me, if my children or wife had been taken hostage. There would be no limit to the ratio I would be willing to accept to get them back.

    Hamas still has hostages captured that day they are tying to use for negotiations.

    The difference between my opinion and yours is that you consider it incidental murder, while I consider it a war that Palestinians are losing. War kills people, and acceptable casualties (enemy, friendly, and even innocents) are literally part of the calculations made by every single country that has ever participated in a war.










  • Kind of a weak argument, we currently ignore the first part almost entirely from a legal perspective, I don’t remember the last time a child or parent got in trouble for a kid sneaking booze under age. They get in trouble for the things they do while drunk, but not the drinking itself. The parents get talked to, but unless they bought them the alcohol there’s no repercussions.

    As for the the weddings, they are still legal with no effective minimum age in 4 US states (and there are multiple marriages a year as young as 12) and about half the states only restrict it to age 16+
