I’ve seen no evidence against it, even if I have no reason to believe it’s particularly likely.
Meanwhile? I’m done with this thread. You seem to think your base assertions are unchallengable, but others are subject to you calling bullshit.
If you don’t have a cite, I’m simply ignoring any assertion you make from now on. It’ll make these conversations much more manageable, because you very rarely have a cite.
This right here, juxtaposed, is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day.
But you didn’t look. If you don’t know the age of the pesron you’re sleeping with, you didn’t look.
Unprovable assertion. Inadmissible by your own statements.
“You really need to learn the difference between facts and assertions.” as some guy on the internet once said to me.
No it doesn’t. Not enough to matter, anyway. Really, not at all.
We already have Romeo and Juliet laws. This is not something that happens, and when it does, I don’t care.
This makes no sense. If you didn’t know the age, then how can you say you verified it?
Unprovable assertion. Inadmissible by your own statements.

An easily faked one.
Put it this way, would you be willing to bet every dime you had that everyone drinking in a crowded club is drinking with a legal and valid ID? If you wouldn’t bet your money on it, then why would you bet your freedom on it?
Chit, if you had boys instead of girls you would know that the areas of the human brain that are responsible for judgment, controlling impulsivity and understanding consequences may not mature way past the 22nd birthday.
It’s your assertion, not mine. You are asserting that 20 year olds go to jail for sleeping with 17 year olds. Cite?
The really sad thing is, in many other threads DtC is a fountain of reasoned opinions and reliable information. He’s awesome in bible threads.
I wonder what my hot buttons are?
For me it was like 35.
I asserted no such thing, you are confusing me with Damuri.
Prostitution is not a defense to rape but a lot of states make it real difficult to convict anyone that has raped a prostitute. Its one of those things.
This is almost always the first thing I say–it’s only a few subjects (mostly gender-issue and sex related) that he gets this way about.
My bad. Still not my burden of proof, though.
I think the popint is that 10 years for something without mens rea seems a bit harsh. I mean there are even affirmative defenses to murder, why not statutory rape?
So the argument is “children under 18 aren’t competent for their actions, and thus can’t be held legally responsible for the deception and resultant sex (because that would take the responsibility from the defendent).”
And “people under 35 aren’t competent for their actions, thus…”
A better question would be to ask why the laws were written that way.
Why is the damage to a child (which seems to be the basis for punishing the statuory rapist who had no idea he was having sex with a child) any less when they have sex with another child than if they have sex with a young adult?
I’m beginning to get the distinct impression that **Dio **cannot deal rationally with any situation in which he can imagine one of his daughters. He’s come close to admitting that a few times.
This and a few other statements he has made make this whole thread seem like the age-old cliche of “I am afraid of my girls meeting boys like I used to be”.
