  • Let’s be clear, I’m not advocating for the Trump admin. That being said, there’s a wide berth between the actions of the current administration/U.S. and Iran’s. For one thing, many people in the U.S. aren’t simply going along with what the admin is doing and while people have died, we aren’t talking about ICE opening fire into crowds of protestors. The IRGC is not like this, they just kill people for whatever reason they want it seems (including blasphemy apparently).

    We aren’t there yet. Whether we reach that point remains to be seen, but the execution of a terrorist who killed 13 people and wounded (I think) 32 others is vastly different from killing women for speaking blasphemy.

    Again, I’m not advocating for public executions or even Nidal’s execution - I think he’s already in a living hell of his own making and to make him a martyr would be fulfilling his wishes. I am of the opinion we should not do that, and I’m also of the opinion that this is the crueler option. Shit’s complicated, yo.














  • However, I’m not French, it’s not the 90s, they’ve been married for 20 years now. By all accounts it’s been fulfilling and satisfying marriage…

    I don’t think the first two points matter, but yes - if he’s happily married then there really isn’t anything to be done. How it started was wrong, and I do wonder what Macrons life would have been like had he not been manipulated by someone 24 years older than him. Not that it matters, what’s done is done.


  • A 15 year old does not have the mental capacity to understand that they are being groomed. Grooming should be illegal, however it’s tied to the legal precedent set by age of consent laws.

    I can’t believe I’m having this conversation, a 17 year old should not be in a relationship with a 41 year old.
