For some reason that drives your party crazy. It also might not be help from the government, but that’s besides the point. And do You mean functioning capitalism has some rules? Who knew Actually we all knew and my party loves it. For some reason your party hates to have the wrong people succeed so they prefer to do what they can to halt growth. Preferring to make as many people as possible eek out a meager living reliant on the government. 1 1 Link to comment

I haven't had the chance to listen but I'm curious if their position is to try and make pedophelia become okay and accepted, or if it's an argument that pedophiles didn't choose this for themselves and while it's a perversion that must be denied, it does them and us no good to treat them like evil monsters for something they can't change.
