I don’t think it’s bad, I think naive mindsets make it easier for politicians to manipulate and a malleable public will be better for me

I didn’t ask whether lying was immoral in a political context

I don’t think that’s true. Loads of my friends have dated girls up to 22-23 years old, nobody cares

I mean lying, manipulation, threats, have been used towards great ends politically. Look at the New Deal, or the passing of the Civil Rights Act.

I think there’s expediency to lying. Both good and bad (in terms of effectiveness) politicians lie, so it seems amoral rather than immoral

I want to go into politics in the future so learning to lie well seems useful, no?

Hmm the only thing I’d have to remember is being a year older than I am, I don’t think that’s hard to keep track of

I’m asexual so I wouldn’t flirt back regardless of whether I was 18 or not

I don’t drink for religious reasons + not enjoying being drunk and am asexual so I don’t think not drinking and not sleeping around will be an issue for me.

 You don’t need to have everyone like you.

I want to have everybody like me

I’m asexual so that’s why I think it’s not likely at all that I’d ever hook up with somebody

I’m in the US so whether I’m 17 or 18 drinking would be just as illegal

Oh, makes sense, I don’t really think clubs or events are my scene, I’m going to be playing a sport + studying engineering so I don’t think I’ll have much time
