[QUOTE=SlayerFin;34633110]How it is pathetic? Age is just a number, it doesn't define the mental age and maturity of a person.[/QUOTE] Most people who get together with 21-year olds aren't exactly young geniuses.
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;34633128]Most people who get together with 21-year olds aren't exactly young geniuses.[/QUOTE] My friend is who she is. She is happy dating with an older guy and the older guy is happy dating with a younger girl. I don't see the problem if both are happy and consent.
[QUOTE=SlayerFin;34633110]How it is pathetic? Age is just a number, it doesn't define the mental age and maturity of a person.[/QUOTE] No. Age has everything to do with defining the mental capacity and social maturity of any individual. A 15 year old isn't going to be as capable of understanding social choices, behaviour and consequences as well as a 21 year old adult would. That's why there are age of consent laws in the first place, they're there to protect young individuals from being taken advantage of by people who are much older than them. I have nothing against a 26 year old dating a 20 year old, but a 21 year old dating a 15 year old is downright creepy and pathetic in my view. A 2 year age gap during the early stages of maturity development for teenagers is massive as it is.

Love is love and if both are consent, it's not pathetic in any way. Just saying.

[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;34633298]Do you know what love even is? Your average young teenager sure wouldn't even know.[/QUOTE] I'm not even going to start this with you. I just would like to see you telling this to my friend and her boyfriend.

I don't see the problem if both are happy and consent.[/QUOTE] Ok then I guess that is good for them but around here most young girls that hook up with older guys usually regret it, since it almosts always ends up real bad. I guess she's lucky.
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;34632789]I don't think children under the age of 13 are fully psychologically developed to know the ramifications of what they're doing.[/QUOTE] Which is why I said [I][B]informed[/B][/I] consent. I'd rather there be some sort of test before someone is able to have sex than have a set age. Like a driving test, sort of.

Like a driving test, sort of.[/QUOTE] I'm having a hard time seeing that go through. It's not like an 8-year old is going to say to her mother "I want to take the sex test so I can start making porno's already!". It's pretty fucking easy fooling children to think what you're doing with them is right. Just because they're "ok" (which they most certainly aren't) doesn't mean you can use them. Your suggestions are vile and horrible, the age of consent is there for a reason, and child pornography, in whatever form, is BAD. PS. don't get kids.
What a nice guy. This story makes me feel good. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Skelmech;34628013]And now this thread gets full of "Oh man pedophiles are so sick!!! they have a mental disorder!!! death sentance!!!" Pedophile =/= Child Rapist It's a fucking fetish people, its just that they get off to children just like how some people get off to feet its when the bad ones go rape a child that they move past the pedophile line and become a [B]child rapist[/B][/QUOTE] Pedophilia isn't "just a fetish", it's a problem - it's a problem because it catalyses child abuse. I'm not saying that all pedophiles abuse children, or that pedophilia is a bigger issue than lack of empathy or hatred of children for actual child abusers. Its like racism, or severe bullying, in that it can take preexisting negative tendencies and channel them in ways that may be more harmful than if those tendencies were left unaugmented, which makes it a negative tendency in its own right. A foot fetish can be brought to its conclusion through a prostitute or a cooperative partner, pedophilia can't be brought further than lolicon or imagination without serious moral infraction, and it becomes dangerous for those pedophiles who don't see that as an issue. It's mental, and it's a problem, so it's a mental problem. If you're one of those individuals who don't have the anti-social attitudes for their pedophilia to express themselves through, and you are perfectly happy indulging you fetish only partway, then it's not a problem [I]for those individuals[/I](even if it could be evidence of unhealthy sexual development), but its still a problem in a general sense.
