    it's your point I'm not going to guess at it. And if it should have been obvious and I didn't understand it that's your problem.
    Are you don't understand why they can't.

    marriage is a civil contract. You have to be 18 years older to enter one of those in most cases sometimes there's a little bit of wiggle room.
    I'm not progressive left.
    I think the wrong about that I think marriage subjugates and exploits men.

    I think you are resorting to overgeneralization and ignoring the underlying reasons why we would want people to be 18 years old to enter into the civil contract of marriage in the first place.

    Like I stated in the opening post, there are numerous special modifications that could be made to this marriage that could prevent the girl's consent from being used against her.

    a person that's 18 years old is considered an adult.
    If you're accusing me of something accusing me of it otherwise I'm just going to scoff at these straw man questions.



    Okay you're being unclear here and I'm asking you directly because I want a direct explanation I don't want riddles I don't need to hear about how you tried and failed to make it obvious.

    Just a clarification.


    What protections are you talking about the protections regarding marriage or to protections regarding forbidding someone under the age of 18 from getting married?

    I couldn't possibly care less what you think.

    This game is getting rather tiresome too.
    No idea what this means consent used against her how in what way explain.

    Well, it's hard to be specific when you are being vague.
    What specific contract aspects of marriage are you concerned about, when it comes to the woman being a little too young to fully consent?

    I take no responsibility for your failure.

    Marriage is culturally meaningless.

    Except that it is the progressive left that is pushing for marriages of all types, including "traditional" marriage, so your observation is flawed.

    If I am asking why a girl who is younger than 18 should not be able to get married, and your answer is "she is under 18", then we are just engaging in a circular argument.

    Your answer is not valid and doesn't seem to have anything meaningful to contribute.

    that's the first time I've seen you ask that question so if you're asking that you need to ask that.

    When you tell me that what you're arguing is something I've never heard before that's your fault.
    I never answered that question because I never heard it before.

    You never asked it.

    The point of this thread was should there be a different type of marriage made available for girls who are a little younger than the usual marriage legal age.
    I don't see how you could have missed it.

    It seems very frustrating. When I state things simply, you don't understand. When I carefully state all the tedious and complicated details, you don't understand. It seems we have a communication problem.
    (By "you", I don't mean you specifically, lots of people reading)

    Maybe some things are just too complicated to be able to effortlessly communicate. Or someone has to get really intelligent and creative at how to communicate complicated things in a simple way that doesn't take too much mental effort from other people to understand.

    Everyone wants simple solutions and doesn't want to have to think. Therein lies a lot of political problems.

    I bet your brain has already glazed over by now and you don't really understand anything I am saying because this post is too long. I wonder what the point is.

    to wit I responded, " Marriage isn't culturally relevant."
    I told you already I don't guess at meaning.
    Im trying to figure out what you mean and the only thing you can offer is you intended it to be obvious. I try not to be disrespectful about it but sometimes I'm not that courteous.


    When you are getting feedback you should listen.

    Sometimes I don't communicate well. If I want to be understood I make an effort to better communicate, I don't tell everybody else they have a problem.
    Maybe a little patience will help out. Don't get frustrated rephrase what you said. Communication is never effortless, especially in a medium like this.
    Or try again, that's how you become more skilled at communicating. But intricate topics where people misunderstand requires patience. Patience requires intelligence.
    What you posted didn't seem that deep. My position is that marriage is culturally meaningless. You seem to not want to address that.
    No not at all, I try to be patient with posters I respect.
    Hopefully you know now.
