Holy cow my dude! we are the same age... based on this totally trivial fact I shall extend my support of your work by at least another year. I know this must be a damn stupid reason for doing (but, middle aged dudes must stick together), but I guess you'll take it.

I appreciate that. I am a YouTuber, I'm famous, not rich.

You weren’t going to address the fact that the post grossly misquoted the statement?

The original statement has nothing to do with the SPEAKER wanting to marry a young girl.

He addressed the fact that even a pregnant young girl is prevented by law from marrying. Which, whether you agree that’s a problem or not, is a completely different sort of discussion.

I mean, the post had quotes around, "Interference is my God Given Rights to her fertile, ripe body." Which is something that you’ll not find anywhere in the man’s remarks.

Yea I hate to defend the comment because it sounds gross. However, I think the point he was trying to make I think at least is more "if we believe abortion is wrong what do we do when a child that can technically have kids (read ripe and fertile the way a farmer talks about soil) gets pregnant". So whiile I don't agree with his worldview it is at least ideologically consistent for his beliefs, which I can respect.

I woulda had to rinse my mouth with scotch after saying 'ripe and fertile' in that context... Tomatoes: ripe and fertile. Teens: teens.

I would do that anyway.

I suggest the abortion issue is about population decline, rather than control over women's bodies? US census.gov notes there will be more seniors than children by 2030. The is demographically unprecedented. However, it is more arousing (pun intended) to divert the conversation back to women's bodies? https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2019/12/by-2030-all-baby-boomers-will-be-age-65-or-older.html

It's also hilarious. Doesn't even have to be all Russia or China, I'm mean just look at the guy! SAD. So if anyone at all wants to mock his basic countenance-this was an amusing five minutes spent in the inkerneck!
