see anything that would keep me from doing that when i skimmed them. Hmm. I was told that this forum was a little different than some of the other ones. I'm not so sure it is. At least i haven't had any personal attacks yet other than "Dude" which is not too bad lol. I appreciate your posts & i know your oppinion is out there. I just thought i'd give mine & hoped that, that would be ok.
southerngirl: I'm sorry that you were raped. I'm surprised at some of those statistics that you pointed out. I'm not saying they're inaccurate but i don't have much faith in much of anything now a days, & surely not statistics lol. Especially if you can find statistics other places that differ. I'm not saying you can because i haven't looked i'm just saying in general on statistics. I'd like to think that statistics are facts like you do, but i tend to have a more realistic oppinion of them i think. At least that's my oppinion on the matter. Also i noticed that it looked like you grouped prepubecent & post pubecent together. And there are places in the world where having sex with a 16 year old, even a 14 year old is not considered illegal. Of course i think some of those laws in some of those countries might depend on how old the other person is. Of course i'm sure that you'd think that those contries, many of them european, are doing something highly immoral. But i tend to disagree. Of course personally i think that a huge age gap can be seen as immoral no matter how old you are. At least it just seems that way to me. I'm not saying i would never do it & actually i have had sexual relations with a woman that was twice my age before. I'm guessing that sense you've been raped that you are very sensative about this subject so i'm going to try not to say anything that would offend you. But i do think that you might be a little biased based on your experiences though.
doyathink: Well with a name like yours i wouldn't be surprised if you're the one that goes around bashing questions you don't like lol. Maybe i'm wrong. Well i think you are being a little simplistic. And once again what if this 13 year old boy of yours didn't look 13. And according to southerngirl you can go all the way up to 17 with this discusion. Not every temptation is something that you did not desire before. New inventions are created all of the time & people desire to buy them. People change there minds about what they want all of the time. And people under a lot of stress & who are not themselves will easily do things that otherwise they would not do.
Dako: Well perhaps your right in some cases. But i don't think you are right with all. And saying that adults are attracted to underage partners to feel power is something i don't believe is true. I mean that might be the case for some but i think that's a false statement for many. And the whole power rush statement. Like i said before if i gave into something like that it would be because i felt like i could relate to them not because i have some type of power over them. You're generalizing way to much here i believe. I'm not saying that law enforcement doesn't helps children doing stuff like this, i'm just saying that i bet they entrap a lot of people that wouldn't do it otherwise. Of course that's just an oppinion. Laws & those working for the law sometimes prevent unjust things. But injustice can be caused by those that create laws as well as those that enforce them. And the word crime depends on the laws & what are considered crimes in one place & in one period of time might not be in other periods of time. If you are blind to that i think it is you that might need some help lol. I agree that i need help lol. But i have a problem with people that think that they don't & then make narrowminded statements like you just did.
DN: Thanks for your assessment. I hope that that is the case. However my lack of faith in law enforcement makes me think otherwise lol. And i'm sure that depends heavily on where they are. I would hope that these people that do this no the difference between tempting people & being persued. There should be things that law enforcement aren't able to say or do when they go about doing these types of things even if they are contacted first in my oppinion. And like i said before, i hope you are right, but i'd tend to think that they have the ability to cross the line & justify it by the mindset of the previous posters.
