It's called Statuatory rape by law, but it is not the same as actual Rape. Actual Rape lacks consent, while statuatory rape is a violation of the age limit, the law calls it such because it wants to IGNORE existance of Consent the way you do.I never said children are mature enough to have sex. I said some teenagers are.
Sex is not a bad thing, so get over it. Owning a gun is deadly, driving is dangerous, smoking and drinking are unhealthy.
Sex is not wrong, nor is it comparable to those other things you keep trying to bring up.
I am not justifying shit. I am telling you that [b]CONSENT EXISTS
between a teenager and adult, and i am vouching for it based on my ability to give consent when I was 15 to a 24 year old.You're decision to ignore that shows how pathetic and narrow minded your stance is.
Yes, you're an idiot, because you're NOT presenting facts...you just keep saying "Oh, i dont thnk consent exists, because i think it's disgusting and immoral...yada yada yada." [/B]
Again, we're not talking about a 17 being with a 19 year old, though still illegal the justice system see's a difference as the punishment is not as severe as a 14 being with a 40 year old. You do not see a difference and claim a 14 year old can give consent and is mature enough to know the consequences.
Sex is a great thing, I agree, but we're talking about children having sex with adults here; there is a difference. I beg to differ, sex can be very dangerous (HIV) and would you trust a 14 year old is mature enough to understand the consequences of having sex with a 40 year old who has possibly been around while you wouldn't trust him/her with driving? Is this 14 year old old enough to know about protection him or herself from STD's or pregnancy?
Great, you were mature enough to get f#cked by and 24 year old when you were 14, I understand; you are super special. But you're using you're own personal experience to say it should be legal and alright for other peoples children.
Did I never say it's immoral? Have I brought up any kind of religious stance? I just happen to realize that children are not old enough to always make the right decision for themselves and as adults we protect them from making bad choices as best we can.
I'd rather be an idiot than a chicken-hawk, so sure.
