Pedophilia - The Next Taboo To Fall?

[Mountain Man]

It is also about an older person taking advantage of someone with no experience.

I think I made it pretty damn clear that I am adamantly opposed to exploitation of any kind. Also, we're not talking about pedophilia but about physically and emotionally mature young women who are fully capable of consenting to a moral act (again, I am not implying that consent can turn an otherwise immoral act into a moral one!).

I'm not sure why you're so intent on misunderstanding me, but this argument has become needlessly tiring because of it.

It is not just about marriage. It is also about an older person taking advantage of someone with no experience. It would be the same if a 30 year old took advantage of a mentally disabled person. That is immoral isn't it? Yet I don't see anything about that in the bible.

Marrying a girl isn't taking advantage of her.

There are no physically and emotionally mature 14 year olds. They are all immature children not "young women". They are not capable of consenting to anything. even 16 year olds are not able to even enter into binding contracts.

Now you're just begging the question.

Er, this is a matter of law, not ability.

[Sparko]

I countered your idiot assertion. There is no question to beg.

[Sparko]

Er, this is a matter of law, not ability.

And we have that law because they are not mature enough to be responsible to go into a contract or consenting to it.

I have a 13 year old niece. If any 30 year old man came sniffing around her I would probably beat him to death.

She still plays with dolls and likes my little pony. She isn't mature enough to have a relationship with anyone much less a 30 year old.

No, we have that law because someone (or a group of people) decided that they were not mature enough. My great-grandfather was mature enough to emigrate from Germany by himself at 13.

So, she'd get along with Nick just fine.

I know you were joking but it is a sick joke and I am not in the mood after seeing you, MM, and teal actually defending this • Edited by a Moderator •.

Now might be a good time to start another bacon thread.

Every thread is a bacon thread.

Perhaps because you're emotion-posting. Your arguments have been terrible, which is the only reason I'm countering them. There are good arguments to be made for your position - you just haven't been making them.
