This is not off-topic. So don't ban just because you are triggered.
Lower the age of consent and reduce the amount of blackmail against people in positions of power. By keeping the age of consent in the US higher than the rest of the world, it creates a market for sex trafficking and blackmail that otherwise would not be possible.
Some people are saying it would collapse the global economy to release info on Epstein's associates because too many powerful people are compromised for having had sex with young women ages 16-17 years old.
The solution is to lower the age of consent to 16 years old like it is in Israel and Canada. This would leave far fewer men who did anything with girls younger than 16.
The only problem with this suggestion is when you consider the following:
>>510289911Age of consent in Israel is 16 years old or 14 if the oartner is no more than 3 years older. If this is all an elaborate blackmail operation, they need to keep the age of consent in the US higher. You can't blackmail people when it is legal.
If the age limit should be lowered, it might prevent total economic collapse as fewer powerful people are named as criminal sex offenders.
That said, be suspicious of people who seem to irrationally chimp out when lowering age of consent is suggested. Certain professional pedos who deal in sex trafficking absolutely do not want the age of consent lowered. They know there are far more men who would have sex with a sexually matured 17 year old than there are men who would do something with a child. This means there is a lot of money and motivation involved in keeping the age of consent at 18.
Lower the age of consent. Lessen the cases of blackmail against people in positions of power.
