Abolish the age of consent

Nope. I never actually get to that point, except for this one time when my roommate and I were drinking vodka and watching District 9, and... well, the short version is that she started coming on to me, and I turned her down for a variety of reasons.

The irony is noted.

 

Adults rape victims do tend to allow rapists get away with the crimes when given the chance to testify against them in court. A good person who does nothing in the face of evil, is just as evil as the person who commits the crime.

 

I know more about the subject than I ever wanted to know. It is not ironic. You simply have no (*)(*)(*)(*)ing idea what you are talking about. Children of sexual abuse have manifestations which have much more profound effects on them than adults, as they typically manifest earlier, during critical life stages. They range from obesity to psychosis to becoming abusers themselves. Your assertion is idiotic and unfounded.

 

No it isn't. It is a fantastic way to attack victims, and I will simply ignore the impetus to do so... but manifest abusers creates an exponential victim ratio.

Overwhelmingly worse... by an exponential factor.

 

I have aboslutely no respect for a person who knowingly lets a rapist go free just because they don't want to admit they were raped and testify in court. How many others would be raped because of their cowardice.

 

No, manipulating people who have no understanding of sex should be illegal. But age is only casually associated with how good your understanding of sex is, thus there is no reason for an age of consent, only mental capacity barrier for those who are too stupid too understand sex. Also to prevent rape of children, sex education should be taught from day 1 in school.

 

And how does one objectively, consistently, and non-arbitrarily determine who fully appreciates the consequences of sexual intercourse and who does not?

 

I love it when posters like Black Monarch, who have no kids, pontificate on what their FUTURE kids will be like. They should wait until they have kids and see if they still think their little 7 year old will be as wise and worldly as they project.

I strongly doubt that any of the people arguing in favor of pedophilia, and make no mistake, that is what they are arguing in favor of, have any children or are even married.

 

i dont even know the point of arguing this stupid suggestion, the poll speaks for itself and kills the thread on its own. almost 90% of the people say "hell no" to chester the molester and his merry bunch of diaper thieves.

no onto more important things, should child molestation carry a minimum sentence of life in prison and a high possibility of the death penalty?

im torn on that one, in one hand id like the sick freak to be executed right after the judge makes his/her sentence. on the other hand i would like the piece of garbage to be sent straight to prison wearing a pink jump suit with a sign on the back stating he is a pedophile, throw his ass into general population and let nature take its course.

i just cant make up my mind.

 

...are not the issue here. The issue is abused people who are incapable of giving informed consent, including retarded adults and excluding well-informed children.

Common sense: so rare, it's a superpower!

According to over 100 people who voted in this poll, it has something to do with the stroke of midnight on your 18th birthday

Most parents expose their kids to Disney and Dr. Seuss. I'll be reading Robert Heinlein and Ayn Rand to my kids at bedtime instead. I won't teach them to believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny. If they want to know how something works, I won't give them the dumbed-down version (growing up, I seriously did not believe that things ranging from gyroscopes to sweating worked as advertised because the explanations that I had been given were oversimplified crap). Wise and worldly? Certainly more so than the average cast member of Jersey Shore.

Also, genetically augmenting them with an over-expressed NR2B gene won't hurt.

 

Did I not warn you about this in every single gay marriage thread?

 

Or a 43 Year old Gay Man & a 16 year old boy ?

 

I have to say it makes me want to vomit. Truely sickening.

 

Your a disgusting (*)(*)(*)(*), the majority of pedophiles are insane, and thus cannot be held responsible for they actions.

 

Oh...I would sure like to see proof of that claim.

 

lol you would love that wouldnt you? no pedophiles are predators, they desire to prey on children for whatever sick reason they like. they choose to do this on their own, yeah they are nuts but they still choose to go along with their urges.

who you gonna blame, the child for being a child? lol death to all pedophiles, let the open games and slaughter on pedophiles begin lol.

are you speaking from experience?

then why would you want them to have sexual relations with kids if they are so bad?

 

and if a 15 year old boy did it with his male teacher would you be ok?

 

and who would it be deciding whether a child has given 'informed consent'? the perv diddling her?

very convenient for you and the rest of your NAMBLA friends...cant' wait to grow your own huh? PLEASE do show this thread to all your future wives before you have kids with them.

 

yeah, let's protect our children's innocence....by destroying it...



let me guess...YOU volunteer to 'teach' the kids all about sex, right?

 

im sure he would make sure the children were very,very informed.

 

No the judge, the child and experts would decide.

 

What do you mean by innocence? There is nothing wrong with having sex you know, so there's nothing to be innocent from.

 

Technically, the age of consent should probably be raised to about 22. Up until that point the brain isn't finished developing. Up until that point the frontal lobe (controls reasoning) isn't fully developed. "Kids" are more likely to act on impulse instead of considering all of the possible consequences of their actions up until that point.
