Unfortunately many large corporations actually get money from the gov rather than pay. Negative tax is a real thing and only takes a quick search to find corps that's very profitable actually getting paid billions by the government.

Like these companies got money from gov while being profitable. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2016/03/07/27-giant-profitable-companies-paid-no-taxes/81399094/

It fluctuates quite a bit from year to year as grants and various benefits change every year.

Japan's birth rate isn't even that low anymore comparatively to other nations.

Take a look at South Korea. It's nearly half of Japan. Japan is like 1.3 (OP's article) and SK is at 0.7 (https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-koreas-fertility-rate-dropped-fresh-record-low-2023-2024-02-28/). SK is the absolute dead last in the world. Even China is lower than Japan now at 1.2 even after getting rid of the 1 child policy.

Think the west is any different? Canada also hovers at round 1.3. (https://nationalpost.com/opinion/canadas-birth-rate-has-dropped-off-a-cliff-and-its-because-nobody-can-afford-housing - just sourcing 1.3, I don't actually agree with their reasoning) Canada's population only increases because of massive immigration they accept. And immigrants from poorer countries are more likely to have children than existing. So, might even rival SK if we were to not count 1st/2nd gen immigrants, though we don't have such exact data collection, only corollary.

Apparently nothing. Since I've had 0 actual counter argument so far. All I got is name calling and starwman.

You still lack the ability to address the content. You're just spewing out things you're familiar with. You're not actually engaging in any discussion.

No one should rape anyone. I don't see how this is relevant to this discussion.

How is my analogy false? How did I victim blame? What did I blame her of? I said nothing of such. You're going to have to substantiate your claim.

I masterbate and have no issues others materbating. In fact I already said it's fine if she wants to do OF.

I did not victim blame. I wish logic and/or discrete mathematics is a requirement education in the world. Then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I'm not trying to control her sexuality. I, in fact, said it's fine if she wants to do OF. So you have read me wrong. I pointed out people's inability to predict the future.

You have judged me for judging on things I didn't say. You smell of hypocrisy.

If you're an adult, you should learn to address the argument, not make ad hominem attacks.
