Really? I’ve never been carded in Virginia. Admittedly, with the grey hair and beard, most people wouldn’t mistake me for being under than 21, but still…
This opposite reaction is the reason that Dio is getting pitted. His stated position is that there is no way for a minor to be mistaken for someone legally able to consent and that no matter the circumstances they should get
It’s also been pointed out that in some places that if reasonable steps are taken then there is no crime
But again this hasn’t mattered to DIo. Who continues to state that anyone pushing to change laws in other states just wants to help out the pedos.
Sometimes gets into these schticks and there’s no reasoning with him. Here’s an example of him at his asshattiest. John Mace tries to reason within him, but he is impervious to anything except the preconceived notions he formed away from reality in his own little world. He enters the discussion with Post 197.
Since I have no doubt that it was Dio who reported me in the last thread, I offer this response:
I feel very sorry for your daughters having such a retarded father. I wouldn’t care, except I honestly think they are in real danger. The fact that you would teach them that even consensual sex is not their fault indicates that they could go around raping people, and you would still blame who they raped.
Yeah, yeah, you’re going to ignore me. But I am absolutely certain that I have offended you. Hopefully I’ve made my point. Offending people just because you can is stupid. It even can get you warned.
I dunno; it’s a little irritating when Dio comes swinging in with absolute pronouncements about things that you really can’t be absolutely sure about, but it seems to me that it just makes him look a little foolish to say things like that.
It’s obviously possible to imagine a 14 year old girl that had plastic surgery to appear older, was outfitted with a new set of documents from the Witness Protection Program, settles down in Montana with an ID that shows her to be 21, gets a job bartending, and after a year of working the bar six nights a week, goes home with one of the waiters and has sex.
So there’s a guy that’s known the girl for a year, and is still having sex with a 15 year old.
OK? It’s possible.
It’s obviously not too likely. Where Diogenes enters massive fail mode is his utter inability concede the rare possibility, and simply point out that the vast majority of cases will not involve such levels of deception. In such a case, we can imagine that the hapless waiter would be protected by prosecutorial discretion, jury nullification, or judicial leniency. It’s hard to imagine a prosecutor that would bring those charges, hard to imagine the jury hat would convict, and hard to imagine a judge that would impose a harsh sentence.
Meanwhile, the strict liability laws protect the other 99.999-ish percent of the cases where the guy needs to be prosecuted but could hide behind a “I thought she was 18” defense and avoid justice thereby.

Alright, that’s 3, but fuck it. Say a brothel has took on some new staff, they all pass the usual rigorous background checks and a year down the line it turns out one of them was only 15…should everyone who has schlepped her be hunted down and charged with child abuse?
I think the word you’re looking for here is “schtupped.” Schlepping might come into play if we were talking about the Mann Act.

That’s pretty much it. Dio doesn’t argue, he just repeats his stance over and over and over until people give up and go away, and when that stance is zero tolerance it’s especially stupid. But I suppose you have to be thickheaded if you’re going to take zero tolerance as your stance.

Don’t be so hard on him, it’s difficult for anti-semites to use Yiddish properly.
To a certain extent, I can see where Dio comes from. I know my husband and his best friend have talked about how crazy it is having a daughter, and how they view all men (and their own actions in their youth) through a different lens now.
But damn it, they need to understand that their daughters are not their property. There’s a way to raise a girl that allows her to have sexual autonomy and not have hangups about her future sex life. Because it’s gonna happen, whether you like it or not, and they will absorb the attitude you have about sex, just as they absorb everything else you say and do. And teenagers are going to have sex. What you need to do is prepare them for it both physically and emotionally, and make sure that they trust that you won’t fly off the handle if they confide in you–it’s your responsibility to make sure your sexually active teen has access to birth control, for example. If they think you’re going to go nuts and call their boyfriend a predator and freak out, they’ll just do it behind your back–which is dangerous to their lives and your father-daughter relationship.
My parents had open discussions with me about sex from a very early age, and I knew that if I wanted to have sex, I could go to them and they would take me to the doctor and get me on birth control. I did, and they lived up to their part of the bargain. I lost my virginity at 15 to my 18-year-old boyfriend. He was not a predator–we were one grade apart in school, and cared for one another quite a bit. If my parents were nuts about it, I still would have had sex–I just may have been much less safe about it.
ETA: Nah, I can’t pull the trigger on that one.

I didn’t report you. I wasn’t even offended. I don’t know who reported you, but it wasn’t me.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, “They read your posts.”
They would find no such sentiments in my posts.

Yes, but Dio is highly entertaining while he’s doing it. I don’t care what he’s talking about - it doesn’t matter - he takes some extreme position, and says it again and again and again without conceding anything whatsoever, and eventually people get mad at him! It’s awesome.

Sorry, but I can’t picture Chuck Berry schlepping under any circumstances.

…it wasn’t me.
It must have been some other body
uh, uh child, it wasn’t me
I bet Dio’s daughters are total sluts. And not in the “attractive and enjoys sex responsibly, nothin’ wrong with that” way, but in the “fat chick who will blow literally anybody but waits till mid-way through the second date for anal” way.

Also, the fact that you insist on continuing to ONLY make this about men fucking underage females points pretty strongly to your personal dog in this fight. Just lock your daughters up until they’re 40 already and leave everyone else alone.
20:1 says one of Dio’s underage daughters is getting plowed right this very second because he’s too busy fucking around on the Internet to notice she’s not home.*
- Please disregard if Dio’s kids are under 13, I’m not a pervert.
ETA: Ninjaed by Rand Rover of all people. I think I’m gonna be sick.

That was uncalled for. As much as I disagree with Dio’s absolutist attitude in this thread, his daughters are not taking part in this discussion.

. . . because they are too busy taking part in some double penetration.

My daughters are 10, 4 and 1.
