Should I have passed up the love of my life because she appeared to be under the age of consent? |

To Loren
Isn't it obvious that yguy is offended by the 'sex' part, not the 'minor' part?

Cut thee compulsory education, though--you get the license by passing a test. I think it would be quite workable. Look at driver's licenses, we have a perfectly good example of how to do it. (Note: The closest it would come to a practical would be putting a condom on a model.) |

If a 15-year-old girl lies about her age in order to engage in a sexual relationship with an older guy, and he's held criminally liable for said relationship, should she be charged as an accessory? It seems like we'd have to. After all, we can't allow psychopathic teenage superpredators to escape unpunished after subjecting poor, innocent children to that sort of sick and disgusting exploitation... |

He isn't trying to justify his behavior from what I could tell. He is denying that he willfully and knowingly had sex with a minor and he is right.
When you say he is the only here trying to justify his behavior, you are lying. He isn't trying to justify any thing. You are also betraying the fact that the behavior to which you object is the premarital sex, not the sex with a minor. |

yguy
I notice you are quick with the insults. I just witnessed a decision in a lawsuit in which the plaintiff who should have lost the case was awarded money because the defendant became belligerent and insulting. It hurts your case. Please refrain from it in the future.
I also notice that the best you have done so far is to willfully ignore the main point of the posts while concetrating on little points that you can handle. You have no argument. You have yet to address the fact that it is obvious that you object to the 'sex' part not the 'minor' part. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=justify Please click that link above and see that I was using the primary definition of the word "justify", if you were were using the secondary definition you are right. McDuff was not trying to say "everything is A-OK! I got away with it! I slipped through a loophole and got a great piece of ass!" He is not trying to justify it in that sense. What he is saying is that he only slept with her because he was fooled into thinking that she was legal. He is therefore only guilty of sex with a minor in a legal sense, not a moral sense. If you bought a car that was stolen, but the seller had cleverly fooled you into thinking it was a legitimate deal, by the letter of the law, you would be guilty of receiving stolen property, but ethically speaking you would know that you did nothing wrong, and I would defend you. If someone came along and said "Well, that's what you get for buying cars" it would be like your complaint against McDuff. Buying cars is just as legal as having sex with a consenting adult. Just admit that your complaint extends only to the premarital sex aspect of this case and quit picking on little points like "fair game" and slinging insults. Debate the issue, man! Show us why we are wrong. Address the issue, not the periferal verbiage! You are one more stupid, insulting comment from being ignored by me too. Obviously, McDuffie is not as patient as I am. |
