I'm not sure what the law ought to be though. I personally think a 16 year old should be legally able to have sex with their 15 year old partner. Maybe in england the difference in age matters. But if not, and a 15 year old legally cannot consent, is this hypothetical 16 year old now a rapist? That doesn't sound right to me.

A 19 year old having sex with a 12 year old? That is clearly wrong and that's rightfully already illegal here. But it's not automatically rape because Dutch law does recognize consent from people under 16. I have no idea at what age people can give consent though. I'm not sure if there is a minimum. But if the 12 year old in this situation did not consent then it would obviously be rape, just to make that clear.

A question: what is the situation in other countries with high schoolers having sex? It must happen all the time that some 18 year old is dating a 15 year old and that they have sex. I think the overwhelming majority of Dutch people would not want that to be illegal, let alone considered rape.

Yeah the search is not forgiving. One typo is enough to ruin the search results.

How well an area is mapped also matters a lot for search though. I now live somewhere that has all addresses in the country mapped from a government source. I didn't before, and it's so much easier now because at least I can just punch in the address and I'll find whatever I'm looking for.

Not saying it's right, but for context:

One legal distinction is that Van de Velde is unlikely to have been convicted of rape had he stood trial in the Netherlands rather than England. In England, sex with a 12-year-old is rape, regardless of the circumstances: an under-16 cannot legally consent. But after he was extradited to the Netherlands, having serving almost a year of his prison sentence, he was released after less than a month. Under Dutch law, his crime was deemed to be the lesser offence of ontucht, sexual acts that violate social-ethical norms.

Begin van het artikel:

De NS maakt verlies

Waarom hebben we zo'n debiel systeem dat treinen winst moeten maken?

Het is voor de samenleving heel goed als er snel, regelmatig en betaalbaar OV is. Uiteraard kost dat geld. Maar dat is geen "verlies", het is een investering.

Is that really true? That is amazing. What episode / season is this?

[–] johan@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely, long-term it's a fantastic investment. Hopefully the government stays committed and keeps funding its education in order to raise the quality. Getting so many more kids going to school is a great step in that process.

Weet niet of het handig is om al die Nederlanders naar United te halen. Soort Barcelona onder van Gaal.

Fuck me what a boring game. Finals are often cautious but this is intensely uninteresting.

Why wouldn't you want an expert to run the economy is such trying times?

Because this so-called expert is a danger to the the common Argentine. His way of "fixing" the economy is by growing inequality, privatizing key government duties and destroying unions.

I personally disagree with him on many points, such as:

he has called for the elimination or merging of major ministries such as the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Social Development, the Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity, and the Ministry of Health.

Milei articulates a critical view of the role of the state in economic matters, calling it "the greatest enemy of wealth"

Milei wants to privatize public health care providers

Milei has expressed support for legalizing organ trade

Also, he is president of the country, not just the economy. I totally disagree with him on points like:

A supporter of law-and-order politics, Milei endorses the unrestricted ownership of firearms

Milei opposes both abortion and euthanasia ... Milei holds that abortion is morally indefensible, even in cases of rape

He intends to eliminate the law that makes comprehensive sex education (CSE) in schools mandatory, which he has linked to brainwashing, and said that students are "hostages of a system of state indoctrination"

regarding your comment:

So let me hear it. What would you do to so wonderfully fix the economy that an expert is getting all wrong?

This is a fallacy. It is of course not necessary to know the right answer in order to know that another answer is wrong. I might not know what 483 × 749 is, but I know it's not 10. Or 100. Or 1000.

Have people here watched any football ever??? Players get "fouled" all the time after shooting or crossing and it's virtually never deemed a foul.

Also, Saka made a handball just before Kane's shot which for some reason the VAR didn't look at/missed.

 

Wie heeft wat aanraders? Genre maakt me niet veel uit, ben in veel geïnteresseerd.

 

As pointed out in this post, this community has only one mod listed (@reusable_rocket@feddit.nl), and they haven’t interacted with Lemmy for 6 months.

Is anyone interested in doing this?

Also, what is even the best way to do this? Should there be multiple mods? Who decides who becomes a mod?
