I’m reminded of [the Sokal affair](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair). ---

I’m not quoting all that again. I think you’re trying to say that those in authority have ruined someone’s life (Child A, I think) by… possibly telling everyone in their class about their sex life? And because of this, we shouldn’t keep murderers alive. Is Child A the murderer? ---

At least nothing incomprehensible has been brought up. > [@](#): > > -they have sex in first grade through third grade. Wait, what? Children aged 6-8 don’t have sex; they’re not equipped for it. **Are you talking about mutual body exploration, like “playing doctor?” Or are you asserting that they are actually copulating?** > [@](#): > > -the regulating authority talks to the parents about their sex, **Please identify who you are talking about when you mention “regulating authority.”** > [@](#): > > -the parents and that authority talk to child B about that sex You seem to have skipped a step. Or more. **What is the nature of the conversation that the parents and the authority have with child B?** **Also, you appear to be taking it as established that child A gets none of the adult intervention that child B gets. Why are you doing this?** **Is it simply for the sake of creating a hypothetical that supports a dire outcome for child A?** **_IS_ this entire thing a hypothetical, right down to the assertion that sex is going on between pre-pubescent children? Or is it something that you believe occurs on a regular basis in our society?** I can’t see any point in going further into your “chart” until the bolded and colored questions have been satisfactorily answered. I await your input. ---

Hey Henry, … Is English your first language? A simple yes or no would suffice please. ---

Since Mr. Underborn is able to communicate clearly in other contexts, this thread it seems was created solely for his amusement purposes, purposes which we don’t allow, i.e. trolling — or he is incapacitated in some way that’s causing him to post so confusingly. I may be mistaken, but either way this is such a mess that I’m closing the thread. When and if you are willing and able to have discussions that are coherent, **Henryunderborn** , you are welcome to start threads. Please be advised that going forward, you need to only post if you can express yourself, in an at least readable way, in not only threads of your own, but in others too.
