The fact that children can be sexually exploited is not proof that they have “sexual desires,” or that they are cognitively capable of sexual “manipuation.” You sound like Cesario. Do you ever think that toddlers are flirting with you?
It’s not acceptable. Everyone knows that ID’s are unreliable, and it would be irresponsible to the point of recklessness to give perpetrators get out of jail free cards if the kid had a fake ID.
What would you consider proof that children can have sexual desires, Dio?
Naw…
We want a Judge Wapner type trial. Once he finds out you don’t have any reciepts or a contract he immediately goes to “I’ll be back with decision” which is code for “you are so screwed”.
Duh Duh Dump…
They’re usually not going to get any time at all in the kinds of cases hypothesized in these threads, but hey, if you don’t want to do the time, don’t do the crime. It’s an extremely easy crime to avoid committing. I’ve never had any difficulty avoiding it.
Define “sexual desires.” Define “children.”
Sexual desires: “I want to put my tongue on some part of that person’s body in a naughty fashion, and I don’t mean just to be funny and gross”
Children: Under 14 years of age.
Diogenes, please remember that this kind of language is against the rules, even in the Pit, and refrain from it in the future.
No warning issued.
Did you see what I was responding to?
So you’re raising the bar from 10 year olds.
Children can have sexual feelings and thoughts. Prepubescent children are not capable of understanding the full range of consequences and ramifications for sexual behavior, and ten year olds cretainly aren’t capable of sexually “manipulating” men for their own desires, as Zeriel said. That sounds like cesario’s kind of delusions.
Why don’t you tell us, cause it aint obvious to me. AFAICT you over reacted.
Troll
Ha! You’re using “children” to describe 17 year olds when it suits you.
I was initilly responding to a post specifically about 10 year olds.
If I’d known that one day I’d be able to spin my inability to get laid as an affirmation of my moral code, I wouldn’t have felt like such a loser…
Read it again, then, and understand the context of ZPG’s post about 10 year olds blowing dudes.
What makes you think I couldn’t get laid? Are you saying the only way a guy can possibly get laid is to bang underaged girls?
He’s splitting the difference between 10 and your number.
I was expressing incredulity that it took you until this point of thread #3 on the subject for you to get that far.
Well, yeah, but here I can call him a fucking retard, which helps.
If “all but universally agreed” means “**Dio **says they’re completely unreliable while everyone else tells him time and time again that they’re generally accurate,” then you need to buy a dictionary that you didn’t scrawl yourself in crayon.
It wasn’t me who set the bar at 10, but fine… make it 10.
I think it quite probable that your own ten-year old has already learned how to manipulate you (albeit nonsexually, one hopes) to various degrees of success to get things from you, and that she’ll gradually refine her techniques as she ages. The “unable to understand consequences” standard is problematic, because there are any number of legal adults who haven’t mastered that, yet, and in any case I can picture the rare ten-year-old who has noodled out that “Activity X gets me what I want”, and Activity X can be something sexual, or it can be throwing a tantrum in a public place, or it can be endless whining, or any number of strategies.
I predict some rude awakenings for you as your daughters age, starting with the first one who talks about cool some boy’s car is.
