  1. Good to see New Hampshire retaining the traditions of old Hampshire

  2. Was to be expected.

    Though Trumpistan is not part of Western Europe.

  3. Please tell me it’s only a lie, because that’s totally fucked up, and I used an euphemism.

    In the West, in a first world country too.

  4. That makes up 12 500 marriages/year. Every year an average of 2.4 million weddings are performed in the U.S, meaning that child marriages are 0.052% of marriages in the US, which looks OK for a country with such a large foreign population from countries where child marriage is common, like india, Pakistan and certain african countries I dont remember because they are 52 and should all be colonies of Portugal anyway as stated in the treaty of Tordesillas.

    Taking to account that most of it are teenagers marrying teenagers (like 16 and 17 wich are more reasonable ages)

    I think its a bit blown out of proportion for clicks.

    But… I mean, Im on the internet for scandal and bold claims, not for justifications.

  5. What the fuck does this have to do with Western Europe?

  6. Wait8ng for r/americabad to explain why this is perfectly normal and not as bad as it sounds

  7. The picture is from an 8 year-old YouTube ~~ragebait~~ ~~shock vlog~~ ~~prank~~ ‘social experiment’: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KldFGgUTqKA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KldFGgUTqKA)

    The NH bill is real, though: [https://eu.seacoastonline.com/story/news/state/2024/05/02/nh-bill-to-raise-marriage-age-to-18-passes-sent-to-gov-sununu/73503029007/](https://eu.seacoastonline.com/story/news/state/2024/05/02/nh-bill-to-raise-marriage-age-to-18-passes-sent-to-gov-sununu/73503029007/)

    I reckon a lot of people across the pond are in panic mode over this thing called the Great Replacement theory that they’ve gone full Handmaid’s Tale. That, or they’re all a just a bunch of p*dos.

  8. The same Americans who get hysterical when they learn the age of consent in most European countries is 15.

  9. At the same time they will call an 18yo a pedo for dating a 17yo

  10. I looked up rates of child marraige by country to see which countries I could mock, but for some reason, there’s no data on child marriage in western Europe.

  11. Please let’s have a bit more brain that election time americ*NS.
    1)As you can presume the 300.000 child marriages is as fake as you can imagine.
    2)while I didn’t find how each representative voted the law passed and that state is majority republican
    3)the law wasn’t against child marriage in the sense you are imagining, it was to raise the minimum age to 18 from 16 wich I thing is just but anyway, still far from what the title suggests
    4)there are states where you can still get married at 16 like Dem Hawaii
    5)everyone should have at least enough braincells to see that an all caps “Dems/republicans/political party x …… DISGUSTING!!!” Isn’t a postaimed at being even remotely informative, just some campaigning shit

  12. 2we4u having it’s weekly America derangement syndrome post

  13. I don’t care about the USA, I have enough with the cases of many teenagers forced marriages in Europe in certain communities.

    But I was told Western culture bad.

  14. BTW, this picture is from a video where they pretended/acted to get reactions from people on the street. The guy really acted it very well.

  15. so… what else is in the bill? sounds like one of those bills they use to try to pass some sneaky shit attached to a bill that most people would obviously support

  16. please I’m tired of republicans being pedos and traitors just let them all die

  17. Fuck Americans they think Alfredo sauce is a special thing, we serve that shit in hospitals

  18. Real talk: for a lot of Western countries, it’s only the last couple of decades or so that there was a wave of banning child marriage. It’s technically been legal *at an individual judge’s discretion* in many (most?) European countries until recently too, and in many cases still is (Belgium, Estonia, Greece, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein). The pretence is that the age of sexual consent is enough to deal with that side of things.

    It tends to only happen in specific communities – including rural white ones – and people just consider the age of consent, or look at the ‘standard’ marriageable age and don’t look at the fine print for court exemptions, so people don’t realise it about their own country. 

    England and Wales only got rid of this exception a few years ago, thanks to Sajid Javid pushing it in parliament (he was our first Muslim Chancellor and Home Secretary, as it happens). 

    Check ‘child marriage in [your country]’ before assuming this is just an American problem.
