Remind me why adults like K-Pop.

That ruling is a very technical area of law that varies greatly from State to State. As much as we would like any victim of sexual violence to be able to sue someone, anyone, with the money to pay a judgment, each State has their own rules regarding agency.

It’s A reason. Not THE reason. Honor culture is also to blame.

Weird to make this argument when the comment you are replying to has an open-ended question in the first paragraph.

I hate to break it to you, but in a closed system (which the Planet Earth is) one man’s gain IS another man’s loss.

“You know you don’t have to talk about it or hold a monolithic opinion about it if you don’t know anything about it - has that ever occurred to you, even once in your life?”

They actually are trying to do the same thing. In theory at least. They are going about it differently.

Question: do you hold the United States responsible when a multinational corporation makes a deal with a country in Africa? 

You did it again!

The fact that they all tried to create the same fictional utopia and all failed for different reasons helps my argument.

No. As I’ve said, I rather extensively studied the rise and fall of the Soviet Union as a poli sci major. I am now a lawyer who does not deal with those issues at all. It’s been three decades since I read Marx and Engels.

Are you seriously suggesting you can’t ask what someone wants without losing the debate about the thing they don’t want?

I am old enough to have lived through much of the cold war. I have met people who have defected. I have met far more people who lived in a communist nation previously. All of them (without exception) were happy to be here.

I see the “merits” of communism like I see the “merits” with full laissez-faire capitalism. In that neither are tenable in the real world and any modern economy needs to be blend of the two.

So many people missed this joke you might get blocked.

The US tried to make it fail. LOL. That was mutual. USSR/China/Cuba/Vietnam/North Korea had nearly half the planet and was doing it’s best to make us fail too. We didn’t. They did.

Yeah, that all sounds like things I won’t argue. It’s odd to me that if you defend anything, people have to assume you love everything about it and hate everything about everything else.

I agree with all of that. 

And feel free to keep telling someone they are wrong without refuting a single thing they have said.

The history of communism is that it was a fictional utopia that was supposed to be a natural result of rampant free-market capitalism. He and Engels thought it was inevitable.
