Implying is saying something without quite saying it. Inferring is hearing something that wasn't quite said.

Re: Why I come here

DT, we all think differently, depending on which topic is being discussed. When one strongly asserts outlier positions, as in my opinion you often do, one should not be surprised to receive push back from most folks. There should be nothing surprising about that.

Re: Ohio man, 81, fatally shoots Uber driver, 61, after scammers target both of them

Additionally, according to modern science, cognitive skills begin to decline at age 45. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6551607/ My favorite thing about this isn't that the cohort groupings stop at 30, but that it shows there's a drastic and hugely significant psychosocial maturity gap...

Re: Ohio man, 81, fatally shoots Uber driver, 61, after scammers target both of them

No, he needs to respond if he wants any type of respect from the posters here. Since you are not responding to what I am telling you, why should I tell you the state?

Re: Ohio man, 81, fatally shoots Uber driver, 61, after scammers target both of them

Respectfully, I disagree. He doesn’t “need” to reveal the state where he lives or lived at the time. Given the speculative accusations being made here, I wouldn’t be giving folks here any information that could lead to doxxing and really damaging false allegations. We went through this same issue a...

I think I'm seeing some confusion between laws governing the minimum age of consent for sex and the minimum age for marriage without parental consent. They are not necessarily the same. Here is the specific Utah statute that I am talking about: https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title76/Chapter5/76-5-S401.2...
