    IMO, legally, I don’t care. If someone wants to put themselves into this situation, then fine. It doesn’t really affect me.

    Why… would it affect you. What on earth are you talking about?

    You know, one guy murdering another guy over a pack of raisins doesn’t affect you, but I have no earthly idea why this should stop you from caring it happened.

      For me it’s about freedom.

      Freedom has limits that most don’t really talk about. To me, the limits of freedom exist where your freedom and the freedom of others intersect. If your freedom is impacting the ability for someone else to enjoy their freedoms, then it needs to be a matter settled by law.

      Murdering someone kinda removes that person’s ability to exercise their freedoms.

      Someone getting freaky behind closed doors, doesn’t affect anyone else’s freedoms.

      Both individuals engaged in that act should be free to consent to the act, and revoke that consent at any time.

      I’ll reiterate, this assumes informed consent, not implied or assumed consent. Again, reiterating: children that have no understanding of sexual acts, or what they entail, cannot provide informed consent because they do not understand what they are consenting to, or what the ramifications are of that consent.

      Does that clear things up a bit?

        A 14 year old.

        I like how you keep putting up these disclaimers like they’re supposed to absolve you of being a weirdo, but you keep building in these little exceptions for “very mature” children.

        Mystik, how much the child knows about sex does not matter. That’s not why it’s illegal.

          The law makes it legal or illegal.

          You miss the point.

          The fact is, the law specifically allows for this shit. Holy crap people.

          The judicial system is so fucked that you can get parental consent and do whatever you want with the underage person. That’s fucked.

          The laws are fucked.

          Now that I’ve pointed it out, and you bozos don’t know enough about the law you live under, you think I agree it should be allowed. I don’t.

          It’s allowed.

          I don’t agree with it.

          It’s it clear yet? Fix your laws. Period.
