you implied it clearly. by saying that the justification for the line given in the age law is 'evolution' CLEARLY indicates that you feel that this line is a product of a realisation of absolute moral code. thus the lack of consideration that the line may be just as well placed at 15 or 13.she was an anomoly. bringing up a rare exception does not prove a thing. most 15-16 year old girls are able to give birth. there are some late bloomers, of coarse, but the vast majority can, just as many if not most 14 year olds can.
nature decided the age range. in fact, we seem to be evolving in a direction where that age range is getting lower. some blame the hormones they put in milk, but its still change. nature has set its own age range. thats just a single point to illustrate that the laws we place on age have nothing to do with anything absolute, which you contradict completely...the point is that you cannot logically tag it as "wrong" any more than you can place the same lable on a 16 year old or even 18 year old having sex. simple as that. the only line is the one which society's opinions can meet on. some thought younger, some thought older, they settled on 16 consentual and 18 absolute. since you agree with this law, you declare yourself master of reality and call it "progression". i think your conclusion is mindblowingly pretentious and utter horseshit. is that clear enough? point taken?
I didnt say some. i said most. now read it again, as i typed it and meant it, THEN address the point
our very existance as a society is completely a product of opinion.
some however consider their opinion to be absolute truth while others acknowledge that its an opinion, even if universally accepted.
I did not, I said progression/evolving as in moving forward, not reached perfection.
I've noticed something, you never gave a reason why this law should be passed like Bardock and Urizen did. All your doing is taking the philosophical broo-ha-ha route of 'what is right' 'what is wrong' good/evil, 'who's to judge' etc.
So state your case why a 12 year old should be allowed to have sex with an adult and why child pornography should be allowed and I will be happy to discuss why I think the opposite.
