Empiree

So because there is teen pregnancy, that means it's good or normal? Is armed robbery also good or normal?

Your point about junior licenses is moot. It's a junior license meaning there are restrictions. Again there is a reason for that.

It's sickening that an adult man would defend child marriage. Stop projecting and let your Muslim girls grow up before they get married.

Almost two years ago, there was a muslim man whose bomb failed to detonate at the target. He was arrested.

In court, he was crying. When they asked him why he was crying, he said that he was sad that he couldn't join the harvest with holy warriors in heaven. He failed as a holy warrior.



The point of the story is to show how some religious people ignore real morality for some ridiculous religious morality.

1) The bomber in the story ignored the morality of not blowing innocent people to death- rather, he preferred to focus on the ridiculous morality of fighting/killing for Allah.

2) Empire ignores the morality of not abusing young girls with underage marriage/sex- rather, he prefers to focus on the ridiculous morality of avoiding sex before marriage at all costs


=========================================

The conclusion is that people who don't try to use reason to moderate their practice of religion are dangerous. I am grateful that many muslims aren't like Empiree.

I'd argue that a lot are like him or at the very least, a lot condone his views on this issue. I've seen quite educated people defend the viewpoint while simultaneously distancing themselves personally from it.

To them it's a religious issue and that makes it ok. How come I can't just kill people I don't like and tell the police that God asked me to do it?

A person's humanity ought to reject some of the more atrocious aspects of religion.

People like Empiree are not to be taken seriously because they are ridiculous hypocrites. The Koran advocates for the killing and subjugation of non muslims. It clearly tells muslims not to take Jews and Christians as friends. Empiree will try and spin those verses and give them his own meaning, but will stand firm and try to promote the sick culture of marrying children.

Quran like a fashion store with many dresses, you choose the ones that suit you most and ignore the rest. Thats exactly what empire does.

Same with the bible. With the bible it's worse because there are more schism and sects in christianity as a result of picking and choosing what suits you most while ignoring the rest. Christians are yet to agree on the basic tenets of their religion, example, christans are yet to agree on the nature of Jesus, i.e if he is God and God's son at the same time of if he is distinct from God as a person. When you are done clearing up your mess you can point at the muslims.

On topic: I think every girl under 25 is still in a sort of puberty and every boy under 30 too.

Now, back to the bone of contention

There is scientific proof that puberty is not a good indicator of when a young girl should be allowed to marry.



http://brainconnection.brainhq.com/2013/03/20/decision-making-is-still-a-work-in-progress-for-teenagers/

Deborah Yurgelun-Todd and colleagues at the McLean Hospital Brain Imaging Center in Boston, Massachusetts have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compare the activity of teenage brains to those of adults.

While adults can use rational processes when facing emotional decisions, teenagers are simply not yet equipped to think through things in the same way.

The researchers found that when processing emotions, adults have greater activity in their frontal lobes than do teenagers. Adults also have lower activity in their amygdala than teenagers. In fact, as teenagers age into adulthood, the overall focus of brain activity seems to shift from the amygdala to the frontal lobes.


The frontal lobes of the brain have been implicated in behavioral inhibition, the ability to control emotions and impulses. The frontal lobes are also thought to be the place where decisions about right and wrong, as well as cause-effect relationships are processed. In contrast, the amygdala is part of the limbic system of the brain and is involved in instinctive “gut” reactions, including “fight or flight” responses. Lower activity in the frontal lobe could lead to poor control over behavior and emotions, while an overactive amygdala may be associated with high levels of emotional arousal and reactionary decision-making.

Dr. Yurgelun-Todd told U.S. News, “Good judgment is learned, but you can’t learn it if you don’t have the necessary hardware.”

The results from these studies do not mean that a teenager will always make irrational decisions. They do, however, suggest that teenagers need guidance as their brains develop, especially in the realm of controlling emotional impulses in order to make rational decisions.

The frontal lobe is often called the CEO, or the executive of the brain. It's involved in things like planning and strategizing and organizing, initiating attention and stopping and starting and shifting attention. It's a part of the brain that most separates man from beast, if you will...
...I think that [in the teen years, this] part of the brain that is helping organization, planning and strategizing is not done being built yet ... [It's] not that the teens are stupid or incapable of [things]. It's sort of unfair to expect them to have adult levels of organizational skills or decision making before their brain is finished being built. ...

How the brain changes during development

From early stages of adolescence into adulthood, the brain experiences major growth and pruning. Initial developments begin near the back of the cortex, and tend to finish in the frontal areas (e.g. prefrontal cortex). There are a couple key ways by which the brain changes during various stages of development including: myelination as well as synaptic pruning.

Myelination: The nerve fibers in your brain are covered with a substance called “myelin.” This helps provide insulation so that neurons can effectively transmit signals. During developmental stages, the process of myelination promotes healthy brain functioning and allows for more complex functions.
Synaptic pruning: This is a process by which brain synapses are selectively “pruned” or eliminated throughout brain development. The process of synaptic pruning tends to peak during teenage years, and wanes in later adolescence. It should be noted that the pruning occurs until the brain is fully developed (likely into the mid-20s). This allows for more efficient brain functioning.
Increased connectivity: The connections between brain regions appear to be strengthened, thus making communication more efficient. The brain is able to transmit greater amounts of information between regions and becomes better at planning, dealing with emotions, and problem solving.
Executive functions: A majority of the executive functions that we develop are via the prefrontal cortex. This allows us to help assess risk, think ahead, evaluate ourselves, set goals, and regulate our emotions. Although many of these functions are developed during teenage years, they are still under slight development and strengthened until our mid-20s.
What does the prefrontal cortex do?

There are a variety of functions for which the prefrontal cortex is responsible. Although significant development of the prefrontal region occurs during adolescence, experts argue that it continues until (at least) our mid 20s.

Attention: The ability to focus on one thing, while ignoring distractions is a function of our prefrontal cortex. Those with attentional deficits (e.g. ADHD) may have abnormalities within the prefrontal region. Similarly, those who abuse drugs and/or alcohol may end up with attention problems as the brain forms.
Complex planning: The prefrontal region is responsible for complex planning. Anytime you set a goal that requires some degree of planning, your prefrontal region is at work. Planning out tasks in your day, developing a business plan, etc. – this region is responsible. An underdeveloped prefrontal region means that your planning capabilities haven’t been solidified.
Decision making: We often struggle to make good decisions when we are teenagers, but as we enter our 20s, our decision making improves. This is due to the fact that our prefrontal cortex helps us think logically and make more calculated assessments of situations. Our brain weighs the risks and tells us whether a certain behavior or choice is a good idea vs. a bad one.
Impulse control: Struggling with impulsivity is often related to deficits in the prefrontal cortex. The ability to maintain self-discipline and avoid impulsive behaviors hasn’t reached its peak until the 20s. This means that if you struggle with impulsivity when you’re 18, it may get better as you continue to age.
Logical thinking: Justifying behaviors based off of emotions rather than logic is common among teens. When the prefrontal cortex fully develops, logical thinking simultaneously improves. This means you will be better at rationalizing and making smarter choices. It also means that your ability to write and solve math problems will improve.
Organized thinking: Organizing your thinking can be difficult when you’re a teen. A barrage of thoughts are typically influenced by hormones and you may have concentration difficulties. As you continue to age and your thoughts become more organized. The organization of your thoughts is a result of your prefrontal cortex.
Personality development: Your personality is directly expressed based off of your prefrontal cortex. Without proper stimulation, you may struggle with identity issues and developing a favorable personality. Since personality development continues throughout the 20s, you may want to consider how environmental inputs may affect who you are.
Risk management: The ability to assess risky situations and determine whether they will result in long-term benefit is a byproduct of your prefrontal cortex. Those who are poor at assessing risk may have underdeveloped prefrontal regions. The ability to turn down immediate gratification for long-term rewards is a result of this region.
Short-term memory: Your short-term memory function is influenced by the prefrontal cortex. When still in development, your short-term memory isn’t as good as it will be by the time you’re 25. As the brain continues to mature, your cognitive function and memorization capacity will improve.

Thanks for the scientific analysis, Tex.

And I totally agree, teens are less in control of their emotions

The issue here is that this puberty occurs in girls from 9-15 years. So, should a 9 year old get married? How about 13? Or 14?

This issue needs to be

Morality dictated that it is our parents who would have privately guided the child as he goes through his personal puberty

But immorality came and said that they would teach every child at the same time, to be aware that a woman with bush is ready for sex and other immoralities.

I remember when Js 2 home economics texts book showed me the woman's bush and breast and my soul scattered!

What a great evil for it was after this class that girlfriend began to shack guys instead of our beloved Sega and Nintendo and Car magazines.

Those white Devils don kill humanity o, as they said would do through their movies. Just saw that were warned about this our forever downloading shit in James Bond's "Tomorrows news today"
