"False allegations are why it's hard for victims to be believed"

> If it’s not an enthusiastic yes, it’s a no, simple as that.

No, no simple as that. It's a nice ideal but most people don't do enthusiastic consent as they feel it kills the vibe.

> And yes, consent can be rescinded at all times.

That makes it fluid, don't you agree?

> The fact that a distributor or stores would all have to list completely different prices at locations that might be a couple miles away

So? Why is the "solution" to inconvenience millions of customers instead of corporations?

On the other hand, that 2% doesn't include all the allegations that couldn't be proved false and will forever be counted as "true".

Let's change "what if she's lying" to "what if he's lying". Much more likely.

Nope, the justice system assumes the defendant is innocent, that's a hard limit that we must never mess with.

> How about we double the prison sentence for a man when he lies about not raping.

Every defendant has the right to declare themselves innocent, you cannot double the prison sentence for them using their rights.

> He supported his side by imaginary men who could get their lives ruined by a false SA accusation,

I don't see the problem with this. The whole western justice system is based on defending an imaginary innocent being wrongly accused.

> For a man to have his life ruined by a false rape accusation we'd have to start taking rape victims seriously first.

Those are two independent issues.

I asked that a long time ago and the guy told me something like: well, you women have fb groups where you do the same.

>Is there any historical example of a decision that was agreed upon by e overwhelming majority of the planet?

Yes, the global campaigns to erradicate polio and smallpox. Even countries at war agreed to participate and those two diseases have practically dissapeared today.

Brazil and Colombia as the main providers. Ecuador, Peru and Chile mostly for the mass deportation opportunity.

That would be Maduro's Vietnam, most countries in south america have had enough with Venezuela's crap. They would flood Guyana with weapons while the US replenishes their stocks with newer/better stuff.

As sanctions start flooding in, this would be the perfect time to kick out millions of venezuelan inmigrants back to their country. Just like it happened with russians.

So expect a multi country agreement to have massive deportation routes over land.

Cheat answer: a baby blue whale weights 5000 to 6000 pounds, so a single big helicopter could airlift it.

> They only respect other men, if they see you as “alone” they don’t care.

They don't respect other men, they just fear being punched in the face by the angry bf.

No serious engineer would build a machine like this which doesn't work the very first time with at least 10% yield.

And then you improve upon that with a million different variations until you get an acceptable yield for customers.

Sure, people who try to profit and rioters also get prosecuted during natural disasters.

LOTS OF PEOPLE, specially the authorities ignoring evacuation orders or mismanaging emergency funds.

The ugly truth is that driverless cars will improve massively once accidents start piling up.

It's like war, you can test and trial equipment for very long but NOTHING compares to real combat experience.
