Minneapolis to allow Muslim prayer call broadcasts at all hours

No I want kids protected from being exploited by bad parents and corps. We've seen this play out in the US already

In your desire to have government parent the children you place too many limits on good parents and their kids.

And you continue to ignore the gorilla in the room, insurance. Why is that? The .gov could do away with all child labor laws and I still couldn't put a 17 yo on one of my trucks as a helper because insurance wouldn't allow it.

Fair enough. I figured most parents today would say no until 16ish regardless. 16 is about as low as I could realistically see someone getting married.

These things happen here whether you realize it or not though. My boss is Indian. His parents tried to arrange his marriage for a dowry even living in the United States.

as for labor, I don’t see the issue. Kids not having a job until they are 22 is a bigger issue than kids working too early.

I dont Personally want my daughter to be married until she’s at least attempted if not finished college. I really don’t want her getting married until she’s legally able to buy a handgun to protect herself in case the marriage turns South. But that’s just me.

I have a daughter too. I can see both sides. If she wants kids, the biological clock is ticking. Also, statistically the later you get married/the more sexual partners you have had, the more likely your marriage ends in divorce. I guess for me it would depend on the man trying to marry her.

 

[sonofUT62]

I would much rather a 12-15yo (even up to 18) be doing an actual activity besides working.

Why not both? When I was 14 I played 8-10 sets of tennis a week and mowed 4-5 lawns. I bought the last Super Nintends at Walmart while my friends Dad was 2 minutes behind me and didn’t get one.

I advised both of my kids to wait until they were at least 30 to get married and neither listened. Son was 25 and daughter was 24.

My ex got married to her first husband at 18. She’s now working on marriage numero tres. I’m not sure there’s a correlation between getting married later in life and getting divorced.

If they waited that long you did a good job. My goal is just to make sure that mine can rent the car to drive on the honeymoon if need be. And that she can legally possess a 9MM to put in the rental car glove compartment.

Now that we have gandkids (who I'm going to work like rented mules) I'm glad they got married young. It still baffles me why my son got married so young, he had a job that sent him all over the world designing production lines making piles of money.

How does a conversation about mosque music and prayer devolve into child labor? Do any of you stop to think before posting, or just foam at the mouth to silence the undesirable?
Admittedly I didn't read the whole thread. Every one of the regular posters here preach tolerance of different views, but have none yourself.
Until you all wake up and smell the roses, I'll stay overseas. The country I fought, sweat, bled, cried, and lived for is no more because you all have collectively forgotten why we started to begin with.
But continue on this path and let yourselves be blinded by hate for the other side. Problem is, none of you realize who the other side truly is. Some say it, but don't really believe it. The other side is a greed like no other, and that is the greed that comes from power.
Power lies in all of us coming together and voting everyone who has been in office for more than ten years out. The other guy or gal might not be the answer, but at least it is a different voice.
A beer can offended a lot of you. A ruling in a town that you don't live in offended a lot of you.
A petulant child tweeting disturbed you. Russia disturbed you to the point you are ok with not taking care of our own first. Imaginary issues have led you to real world violence.
But we are too busy making sure the right letter wins. At some point can you all come together and make sure America wins.
I'm not anyone that matters, just a regular Joe, if you will. I love my home, my country, my raising. My family will always be my center.
Social media gave the extremist a voice. Much like acceptance of extremism did in the past. Neither are right.
A beer can cannot be an honor when a syrup bottle or box of rice isn't. If a trans is going to participate in sports, it should be against other like minded people.
Quit letting the elite run your life. Vote them all out. That is effective change. Not this ******** you all participate in daily.
If there is a partisan hack pandering for votes, pick someone else. If a politician increases their net worth by multiples, vote them out.
The only way to change the direction we are headed is to turn the television off and walk outside. Meet your neighbor and shake their hand. Love them like you love yourself. Quit judging.
No one will read this, and that's ok. I can feel at peace because I spoke my mind.

Tldr: the answer is love, not hate. Quit being divided for others to profit from the division

Because you know one person it didn’t work out for?

My grandparents got married when he was 18 and she was 14 and were together until death.

If one example is all it takes, I just proved the opposite. See how that works?

Hey man, I just said I wasn’t sure. I didn’t say I was an expert. Also her Dad got married when he was 18 and divorced a year later. And 3-4 kids from her church who got married at 18 are also divorced. Three Of them had a throuple with each other. But I’m sure that a simple Google search would probably provide broader statistical data. Also I didn’t get married until I was 40 and I’m divorced. So there’s the other end of it.

I agree with you, but there is no fixing this.

For what you suggest to be effective, we have to have something that unites us. We do not.

Being American doesn’t unite us, because a good amount of Americans find our founders themselves to be evil. They think this land is stolen rather than conquered. They think the American ideal itself is evil.

God doesn’t unite us, because god has no place in America any longer.

Reality doesn’t unite us, as we can’t agree on what reality is.

If 9/11 happened again today, there would be no unity. There would only be those who said we deserved it, and those who blamed another American for it.

It’s over.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

It's been time since the last time. Southern secession was nothing more than a continuation of our Founders ideal of breaking away from tyrannical Govt. When that failed, the Country has never really left reconstruction.

Hot ****ing take. Lol.

But I’m sure that a simple Google search would probably provide broader statistical data. Also I didn’t get married until I was 40 and I’m divorced. So there’s the other end of it.

Edit: The simple Google search indicates that people who marry from 18-25 are 60% likely to get divorced. After 25 the rate drops to 25%. So I guess that’s a little more than “just one person I Know”

 

[Christian Lowe]

Hot ****ing take. Lol.

Not really. 1% of soldiers in the confederacy owned slaves. They weren’t fighting for anything other than protecting their home.

In general, only the 15-20% of white southerners owned slaves.

If the war was fought for slavery, it would’ve been over a lot sooner because it wasn’t an issue most southerners cared about.. or Unionists for that matter.

It goes back up again. 25-30 is the “sweet spot” but if you start looking for a husband after you graduate college, you better figure out if you’re marrying him/her fast lol.

You are correct. It takes us uniting ourselves. Not in violence, but in joining together to dispel the hate our leaders instill in us. It takes a conscious decision to make it different. I don't know how we get there.
But we are running out of time. It isn't over yet, just got a clock running.

 

[sonofUT62]

It probably goes back up because the majority of people who get married in their 30/40s have already been divorced once and the second one comes easier unfortunately. But again I’m not an expert. But I would imagine that people like me who got married for the first time at 40 are rare. I’m the only 47 year old that I know with a kindergartner.

And a lot of Union soldiers fought for a paycheck, not some noble notion that they were ending slavery. The victor writes history but what makes that worse is most people who think themselves "conservative" accept that perverted version of history.

Which is why I laugh when most conservatives scream about the 1619 Project but then in the next breath are pushing D'Souza's documentaries, which are an extension of the victor's perverted version of Civil War history.

Look buddy, the sooner you admit to thinking the government has the right to take our kids away if we don’t chop off their dick and throw them in a dress, the better off we’ll be in this country.

Is this before we convert them all to Islam?

Who mentioned slavery?

The civil war wasn't as cut and dry as volgr is making it out to be, nor is it as cut and dry as my 4th grade history teacher telling me it was about slavery.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Certainly not shocked you would say that. More reasons I have no desire to share a country with you.

I don't mind sharing a country with Christians. Funny how intolerant one of us sounds here!

Go to God Island somewhere, if it's so unbearable. Lol.
