Then would you at least have the decency of giving me the right to vote in my country? I'm 17 years old. And I know things about politics that most people don't know. Come on.

That’s a more specific question which I can’t answer. I don’t know you personally, and knowing about politics is also not enough to cast a good vote since it has many variables that should be applied.

I never claimed I know the golden number to the age. I will also add that many children think they are more knowledgeable than the average person so your judgement of yourself isn’t something I can just take for granted and rely on.

All I can say is that children shouldn’t vote. If someone is mature enough and we could check that, they should vote, but we don’t have this miracles machine that does this, so the simplest answer I can give you is that the age limit seems good to me as it is, especially since most people under the age of 18 havnt even came out of Highschool yet and havnt experiences the world outside of school.

By the way Quassadia, I’m not sure if you realized that nobody was even saying it should be legal with no restrictions. Literally everyone besides you said that there should be basic restrictions, just like things such as alcohol. And your position isn’t even that it should be fully illegal. You still haven’t answered what exactly is bad about marijuana other than the slippery slope fallacy. (By the way, that actually makes more sense in relation to cigarettes and alcohol. Both are addictive substances, unlike weed, and alcohol actually causes far greater impairment. If you learn from history, I don’t think you’ll try and outlaw alcohol. We all know how that went in America.)

I have a very simple response for that.

It’s predetermined opinions that are being supported by fallacies at worst, and circumstantial evidence at best.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he claimed that bestiality and pedophilia would become legal if same sex marriage was legal as well, and perhaps pointed at Ancient Greece or Egypt as an example of a culture that fell that also happened to have some more acceptance of it.

There is no rational explanation to be found here. He himself just brushed off your mention of the fallacy as irrelevant and unimportant, which pretty much means logic doesn’t matter to him.

This conversation will end in the same way the conversations about feminism, homosexuality and communism ended:
With him shutting you out and saying he’s not interested anymore.

I’m impressed you saw his fallacy so fast and even called it by it’s name. Was gonna do it myself. Logic is awesome! :)

Allowing for the legalization of such substances will lead to another and then to others.

The moment I read this. I knew that this was not going to be a debate in your favor.

*If there is a candidate of the libertarian party in my region at least.

Just something I thought about legalizing with this conversation marijuana. What about possibility of Synthetic cannabinoids. Just want to know what you would do.

By their logic, that just pushes the slippery slope back a bit. We legal synthetic cannabinoids, and then we’ll slip down the slope into legalizing marijuana! And then we’ll legalize meth! And then we’ll completely abolish all laws and every citizen will fight to the death for the last line of cocaine in the world!

For some reason I was thinking you were Irish. Admittedly, not fully up on Canadian political parties, but that sounds unusual. Generally speaking more pro-worker viewpoints are toward the left end on the political spectrum. While Libitarianism, especially as a political party, finds itself firmly on the right.

Well the economy is more efficient in a libertarian society than in a socialist society and I find it more "fun" to live in a libertarian society, because I know I always have the possibility to win a lot of money one day.

Probably it -- it was a busy time on the RMB a while back when everyone was shouting their locations

You live in a socialist society. These aren't either/or things, like a light switch. It's much more like a slider you'd use for some stat for a character in a video game.

Actually, Canada is more like a disturbing mixture between a regulated semi-protectionnist free market capitalism, and socialism.

Cassadian Fact Of The Day: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a required reading for all Cassadian high-schoolers.

Another curious thing to know is that after 1945 all the way to the late 50s. Cassadia experienced a large influx of German immigrants, many of whom had served in the Wehrmacht, the Oberkomando (army high command), the Waffen SS, GESTAPO or in the "Special Camps" (guards, administration, even commandants etc). Which the Emperor at the time, Christian IX Von Peacecraft, would welcome with open arms, and allow for them to work in the institutions of the state and even the armed forces.

Foreign observers would note that these particular kind of people people would go on the build up the structures that would make up the totalitarian machine of the Crown. Creating an environment that has made it impossible for a change in the system, regime, society.

What do you guys think.

Generally, I’d have to say you’re actually a pretty good writer. If I had to give some constructive criticism, I’d say you might need a bit more proofreading. For example when you said “(guards, , guards etc)”. I assume that you were gonna write something else in the list and changed your mind but forgot to delete part of it. There are also some parts when there’s a period when a comma would seem to make more sense. If you fix some grammar and punctuation, it’ll be great.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm glad I have someone who appreciates the lore that I continuously do to make my nation's history more deep and meaningful.

English is not my first language so excuse me if at times my presentation sound a bit goofy.
