No, you took it completely out of context, and obliterated the common sense/concept of logic. Jesus christ; laymens terms it is. In society; a person that is 18, is considered an adult, correct? Yes. So anyone over the age is obviously an adult. Let's say a 45 year old attempting to go after a 16/17 year old; anyone that has half of a brain, and decent sense of morality would agree that compared to the 45 year old, the 17 year old is a young person. Not baby in the context of infancy...baby in the context of an inexperienced to life, young person, i.e not of their prime, mentally nor physically. Fairly simple process of thought...for most of us anyways.
"Not baby in the context of infancy...baby in the context of an inexperienced to life, young person, i.e not of their prime, mentally nor physically. Fairly simple process of thought...for most of us anyways" Well, then don't use the term baby if you don't mean it. I'm not stupid, you used the term baby to help bring more "shock/boldness" to your statement. "In society; a person that is 18, is considered an adult, correct? Yes. So anyone over the age is obviously an adult." Are they an adult? There not old enough to drink and do many other things. Did you see the legislation about moving the smoking age to 21? The age of an adult is an arbitrary number set by the government and it's on it's way up past 18 to 21. Clearly an 18 year old is an adult, but YOUR stupid american government can't seem to figure that out. While they continue to hold children as young as 11 responsible as "adults" for their actions, they seem to be raising the age of everything else(except for dying for your country of course.... when they need a war fought suddenly it's convienient for an adult to be 18). 18-20 year olds should not sit still and should start fighting for their rights as adults. And a right as an adult in the United States is to drink alcohol. "Let's say a 45 year old attempting to go after a 16/17 year old; anyone that has half of a brain, and decent sense of morality would agree that compared to the 45 year old, the 17 year old is a young person. " Yes they are young, what about a 45 year old "going after" a 18 or 19 year old. There still a teenager, no? ? Or a 50 year old "going after" a 25 year old. There's still a huge age difference. What's the difference? Your talking about morality here, not crime. Plus, I disagree with your morality statement. You can't possibly tell me that it's impossible for an older person to fall in love with a younger one!! and so what if they just want to have sex with the younger person. There's nothing wrong with casual sex as long as both parties are honest about it.(and if they do lie, it's morally wrong in my opinion, but it's certainly not rape or a crime) My point is simple, once they understand what's going on and they've gone through most or all of puberty, they should be legal. Basically a 45 year old has no advantage(except maybe he's rich) over a 23 year old. Women generally judge men on looks. That's all that matters, being older doesn't neccessarily give you an advantage. The whole idea behind stachatory rape is that the person doesn't know what their doing and is being molested. This argument obviously can't be made with a 16/17 year. That argument certainly CAN be made when talking about an 11 year old. Disarray, you can't tell me you don't see the difference between a 11 year old pre-pubescent child and a 17 year old. Your simply regurgitating what your culture has taught you to be ethical just the way a fundamentalist muslim would argue that a women should be stoned to death for lying about being a virgin to her husband.
I will use whatever words I please, and that particular association puts more emphasis on my point. The way you decipher the context is up to you, I'll just have to re-iterate. To me, 18 seems to be a valid age to consider one an adult. The legistation is attempting to raise the legal age of stupid vices, but that doesn't mean that it is the new found legal age; and it isn't guarunteed that it won't fall through. There are loopholes. There usually always are, it does amaze me to see how intelligent some people can be. Minors always end up having drugs, liquor, and cigs in their hands anyways...right? For fucks sake, I clearly stated that I don't have a problem with older people trying to get with people that are over the fucking age of 18. That wasn't my point. Personally, the age of 18 feels right; that is what I'm accostomed to. Once the person is over the age of 18, it is no longer an issue. I never did deny the fact that people can fall in love at any age, I just find it grotesque that they have to fall into the lengths to get it from a teenage kid. There isn't anything wrong with casual sex, but there is something wrong with those that prey on the young and, naive. They exploit them with circumstance to get themselves off. This certainly is a harsh way to learn a fucking lesson, isn't it. Yeaaah, you're not taking the consequence under consideration, are we. We just want to acknowledge what should be good. Since the young, and naive are just that, they have high expectations, and delusions; when their ity bity worlds come crashing down, and they get a reality check...well then there are going to be problems. Regarding stachatory rape, what about the being lead on by false pretenses that usually occurs? It does happen, and people are that stupid. It's not your problem, is it? No. My point is just as simple, and both of ours are equally invalid. We'd both like to think we have our say, but our words fall on deaf ears. Shit is going to happen anyways. It's about the aftermath of the problem. Heh, these kids are your future. If they're fucked (up), then we're fucking doomed, aren't we. I am well aware of the physical difference between a pre-pubescent 11 year old and a 17 year old. In all honesty, there isn't anything about a growth spurt, pubic hair, dropping testicles, or developing tits that is going to change my fucking opinion. And you can't tell me that you thought you could debate about a touchy subject (to some) and not expect anyone to oppose you. Old guys that hit on me freaks me out. Old guys that hit on younger girls freak me out. I don't like it, it's stooping low, absolutely disgusting, and extremely primitive. I can't believe you're coming off as completely oblivious to what could be the consequences of these situations. But given the frame of your mind, you could never relate to these opinions. I don't mean that as bad as it sounds, I mean you're all about the carnal pleasure and all that crap. Neither of us are right, and neither of us are wrong. I told you I don't give a fuck what other people do, if they want to get taken advantage of, and ruin their lives on account of "alittle fun", by all means do so. I won't disagree that these people have it coming. I'm just saying that if this occured in front of me, this is what I would think to myself; and then I'd walk away. It's not my problem; albeit I remain at ease that this government will never drop the age limit to under 18. But you are clearly into all this shit, and you still never answered my questions. But hell, if this is something will dedicate yourself to; well than whatever. For the record; I don't think a woman should be stoned to death because she's not a virgin. Those times are over, I actually do oppose it occuring. I'm not anti-sex. I just don't like the exploitation of younger people just for self gratification. Apparently that's a problem with you because you feel it's right. Because they're physically ready; which is true. But not mentally ready for the consequence. All things come to an end, there will be consequence.

The legal age of consentual sex is 16 in Connecticut, 17 in New York, 16 in Hawaii, 15 in Tennesee, 16 in Nevada, 16 in South Dakota --- www.ageofconsent.com I've stated this like 10 times in previous posts.

I thought you just said you don't have a problem with an age difference as long as their over 18, no? You've just contradicted yourself sweetheart. As for being "primitive". Were all primitive. We eat, we shit, we fuck.... simple. Disarray wrote: "I clearly stated that I don't have a problem with older people trying to get with people that are over the fucking age of 18" Do you not see a contradiction between these two previous statements? Your basically saying that an An older man liking a younger woman is absolutely disgusting Well, we now know where disarray's coming from. Why's it disgusting for an older man to enjoy sex with a young woman over the age of 18? It's natural sex, your simply afraid of it. This entire debate has now gone away from stachatory rape and now seems to be some kind of strange extremist debate about older men lusting after younger women. I guess the guy who masturbates to a playboy magazine is disgusting. I'm guessing you think all men are rapists too, eh? Your not comfortable with sex and extremely judgemental of other people. Who are you to judge? In your ideal world, all men would be faggots(I have nothing against gay people) and fruit cakes. Guys genetically like younger woman because there at a good age to give birth. The consequenses?? What are the consquences? You can walk across the street and get killed. The number one killer of people 18-25 is car accidents, not sex. Your an extremist disarray. Obviously something happened to you when you were younger that gave you some serious issues in the present time. Were you ever sexually assaulted by a man? Or did a man get your pregnant and leave. Is that the reason your now a lesbian? I don't mean this in an insulting way. I'm just wondering. Obviously you don't have to tell anyone if this did happen. It's private. I'm just thinking that something like that is affecting your thoughts. Disarray wrote: "I am well aware of the physical difference between a pre-pubescent 11 year old and a 17 year old.

That's one of the most idiotic statements I've ever heard. There is NO COMPARISON mentally, emotionally, or in maturity between a 17 year old and an 11 year old. Ask any phycologist. They'll tell you the exact same thing. Nobody would argue that there is no mental difference between an 11 year old and 17 year old. Why the vulgar language? Is your vocabulary so bad that you have to use vulgar language to get your point across? Disarray stated: "Since the young, and naive are just that, they have high expectations, and delusions; when their ity bity worlds come crashing down, and they get a reality check...well then there are going to be problems.

So basically stachatory rape should be applied to help prevent people's high hopes in a relationship from crashing down????? Wow. Very interesting. Your helping to prove my point. False pretenses? So if a guy says he loves a women just to get her in the sack, it's rape? Basically, I've won the debate and you've gone off on an off-topic rant about how it's wrong for older men to lust after younger woman for "gratification"(yes, your anti-sex and your a facist). This wasn't what the debate was about. It was about the legal age of consentual sex. I simply made the point that a large age difference is not the reason for the legal age to be 18 and if that were the case, a 45 year old would be arrested for having sex with a 25 year old. Now, you've unknowingly pretty much proved my point..
I don't have a problem with the fact that older guys chasing after other people that are 18+, I do have a problem with older guys going after me, That isn't a contridiction hunnie. That's fucking specifics. I know we're all primitive...thank you captain obvious. Uh no. Actually, I said that I think older men chasing after girls under the age of 18 is gross, hence the whole discussion. Quit twisting my fucking words around. I also said that guys chasing (other) girls 18 and UP is appropriate. But the older guys (I'm talking in their 50's, asshole.) that go after me is disgusting. I'm not attracted to guys. I don't see how you could fuck up this sequence, it honestly isn't that difficult to comprehend...at least for most people; but I guess you'll go to any lengths to save face. Are you a fucking half-wit? Seriously. Once again, for the third fucking time (in this fucking post alone). This time maybe it'll get through your dense skull. I do not have any issues with older guys fucking females that are 18 years old and up. This is not the discussion at hand. I do have a problem with old geezers making obscene gestures/remarks, and trying to get with me. But any self-respecting female would feel the same way. This is to much for you to intake, to little brain capacity, hm? This entire debate is about old dudes that are trying to fuck girls underage. You're turning this around, and trying to make me look like an asshole. Uh dude, I masterbate to playboy. I am comfortable with sex, I am uncomfortable with the lengths people go to in order to get sex. Who the fuck are you to judge? Speaking of hypocrites. You completely over-look the rest of the argument. To you, the point is to just get your wuttle pee pee into someones' hole, but young girls. The consequences do not phase you. You try to make morality seem like a bad, bad thing. God forbid people have some fucking compassion. Oooo, no scarey. That really wouldn't be so bad, actually. But that's not ideal for me. Guys genetically like younger women because they feel it's a challenge, the want to prove themselves adequate, and make sure they still have it. You speak of theoritical love, and the desire to breed, but that is the farthest thing from the truth. People want to live their lives before children even become a part of the equation, it seems most people don't even want to fucking breed. It's all about the sex. Cause and effect. I guess everything goes over so great for you, so you've never learned from lifes' bitter lessons. But those of us that have gotten reality checks tend to bare in mind our past experiences, thus this effects a lot of fucking things that happen in people's everyday lives. Nope. I'm a lesbian because I am more attracted to females, and I always have been. I've experimented with guys, and it didn't take to long to find out what all this shit was all about. I never been pregnant, nor did I ever have the desire to breed. Never been molested or anything, I just learned my lesson. Oh okay, there is no emotional or mental maturity in a 5 year span from adolescence to teen-age years? Are you a shut-in? There are girls are at age 11 that are concerned about their barbie dolls, wearing mommies make-up and worried about getting caught, and about their little hello kittie dolls. Then there are teen-age girls that are concerned about shit that they can't even keep up with, considering that their minds change so fucking often. I will ask a psychologist. I use vulgar language because I can, and it emphasizes things a little better. Is there something you're not going to do about it? Your grasp of context is completely off the scale. I didn't say that statchatory should only be applied to naive teens. Pathetic, you have to twist my words around in order to fucking convince yourself that you've won a debate. Your bitch-ass didn't win shit. What I did say is that in order to get the young and naive to fuck you is under the circumstances that you lie to them, or pressure them. On any account, if they're underage, and you're well over 4 years older (I'm going by the laws in MA), well it would be statchatory rape under ANY fucking circumstances. But there are pathetic fucks out there that think they have something to prove, or they're just to much of a loser to get someone around the same age group as them. I didn't say false pretenses would result in rape either. I'm saying it's a means to get the naive in the sack, you half-wit. Naw, pretty much you lost with your attempts to throw the readers off with your misinterpretations, and off sense of judgement. I said I (that means it's not a generalization, this is my own opinion) think it's wrong that some sleazy fuck has to chase after a younger woman (that's underage by law asshole, don't try to pull some trick shit with another misinterpretation) as means to get off (that's not anti-sex). It's stooping pretty low, and you think you can justify. What is wrong to sticking to your own fucking age group? And then your going to try and tell me that old fucks fucking young girls is irrelevent to what you think the consentual age should be? Well it is, and it goes a little deeper than that, which was what my argument was this whole time. And if the legal age were to become 18, then how the fuck would a 45 year old get arrested for fucking a 25 year old, since a 25 year old is over the age of 18. If anything, that is irrelevent. Your point is moot. You lose.
"Actually, I said that I think older men chasing after girls under the age of 18 is gross, hence the whole discussion. Quit twisting my fucking words around. I also said that guys chasing (other) girls 18 and UP is appropriate" Now that's a clear statement. Your previous writing is unclear. "after a younger woman (that's underage by law asshole)" Then WRITE under 18 in your sentence like you did this time(underage-same thing)!! Otherwise the statement simply states "A ass hole chasing after a younger woman" There's no way for me to know what you mean without the underage statement put in. "Old guys that hit on me freaks me out. Old guys that hit on younger girls freak me out. I don't like it, it's stooping low, absolutely disgusting, and extremely primitive" Your over 18, because of the unclear writing I assumed you meant over 18 as well. When you write, you have to be much more clear. You can't assume I know what you mean. What might seem clear to you, might not be clear to other people reading your writing. A good definition of writing is the most meaning in the fewest words. Having clarity in your writing is also extremely important. Anyway, thanks for the debate. I still hold my position firmly that the legal age of consentual sex should be lowered to 15/16, but you have your right to your opinion.
Same here (about maintaining my current opinion that I've had throughout this debate); and likewise (about people having the rights to their opinions).
