How is anything really anyone's 'fault'?

Because it's easier for natty to dodge the question.

Are you a child raperer as well? Shame on you, BBS.

Stop raping children, children have feelings too.

First of all, "child raperer" is a bigoted and derogatory term, which is forbidden by CC rules. Don't use that kind of language.

Second of all, so what if she is? What do you have against child rapists? It's none of your business if someone else likes young children.

Too far?

Also @ Looft I can't be bothered having such a ridiculous discussion. By being pragmatic you shut down the whole issue of what makes someone attracted to children. "They report that their findings suggest that there are one or more neurological characteristics present at birth that cause or increase the likelihood of being pedophilic."

I generally agree with Dreadster on this. However, it puzzles me that he uses the rationalization that a 17 year old cannot consent to having sex when a 17 year old can certianly consent to having sex with another 17 year old (and is legal). On the other hand, a 17 year old cannot consent to having sex with a 19 year old (which is illegal). In other words, the "consent" argument is not really rational (when used in the context of 17-year-olds).

Well obviously there's some gray area there, I wouldn't object to a 19-year old having consensual sex with a 17-year old, and AFAIK a lot of legislations actually take this in account.

However, a 19-year old having sex with a 12-year old would be creepy, as would a 30-year old having sex with a 17-year old - the latter isn't actually illegal here (age of consent is 16 in Finland), but I still think it's creepy.

So you're saying that it's okay for you to impose your values on others when you find something creepy?

No, it means that kids shouldn't be raped because no one should be raped

Do you disagree with that?

I don't disagree with that. And that's me imposing my values on others. You are doing the same thing.

If anything, this thread has shown us that it is all AoG's fault.
