Who the fuck is think "Danm I really need to get laid right now" when they are 12?!? I mean are fucking serious?!, I was still playing with my fucking Ninja Turtles at 12, can't say I ever remember thinking "god I really want to fuck right now"
Seriously Justin, Ninja Turtles at 12? I'm really quite surprised at the reaction people are having to the age of 12. At 12 years old you're in the 7th grade, going onto the 8th. That's really not as young as people think. Most people in my school when I was in 8th grade were already smoking pot, drinking, and experimenting with sex (most not actually
doing it; but experimenting). Fuck I was reading Camus at 12 and already had a job.
So now you're saying children at the age of 12 are okay to have sex?
God. I mean, it's just hopeless, trying to debate with you. You're absolutely no challenge at all; you make it far too easy. Please show me where I even hinted that it's okay to have sex at 12.
There is a HUGE difference between a 12 year old and a 16 year old.
And is that difference just as huge between a 15 year old and a 16 year old? Because you can't consent to sex at 15, but you can at 16. Where's this magical maturity fairy that comes along on our 16th birthday?
My point was that 12 is a much more mature age then you seem to think. Puberty has already started by that time; you are no longer a child at 12, you're on the edge of being a teen. You're a young adult as they used to call them at my old school. Though I'm sure you'll misinterpret this as me advocating 12 year olds to go forth and copulate, right?
The only people who think differently are the 12 year olds. And I'm starting to think you're very close to that age.
Oh man, that one really hit the gut. You're right HBK_aholic, I am in fact a 12 year old boy. How'd you ever figure me out? Was it my astounding lack of vocabulary? My limited life experience? My miniscule knowledge of the arts? How ever did you catch me?
Completely different situations for a start. I didn't say all 12 year olds are 'innocent' in that sense. They're not, and I know many that are little bastards. But does that mean they should be raped by adults? Because legally that's what it would be.
Dear god. With every paragraph you top your last; it's actually quite the achievement.
Yes HBK_aholic, that is exactly what I was saying. I believe that all 12 year olds should be raped by adults. Man you've got a keen eye.
Christ, you're logic is so flawed it's ridiculious. So by your logic of "They just don't know any better! Gee shucks!" the kid who murdered someone in cold blood should just be let off easily because "he doesn't know any better!" right? If you're old enough to kill, you're old enough to fuck. Is that me proclaiming that it's okay for 12 year olds to have sex? No. It's me proclaiming that a proportion of 12 year olds are infact mature enough to understand the repercussions of sexual activity.
Adults ARE sick if they have sex with children. It's rape and it's awful. But once again, I never said all people attratced to children WILL attack them. I simply stated I wouldn't leave my child around them for fear of it happening.
Yet again, for the ten millionth time, when did I say that it's okay for an adult to have sex with a child? I didn't. Ever. This whole debate came from me saying that a 12/13 year old can be mature enough to know the repercussions of sexual activity. That's it.
But every single post of yours has focused on ONE thing; people who have sex with children. THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT. It's about people who are
attracted to children. Again, there is a difference.
Are there not peadophiles who go out and abuse children? I'm not saying all do. But if you were a parent, you'd do ANYTHING to look after your child and make sure they were safe. As I said earlier, your theory on them being normal is great. But in reality, it's never going to happen.
A) When did I ever say that there aren't people who abuse children? Never.
B) I never claimed that sexual attraction to children is normal, not once. I did however say that sexual confusion is a common element of human life. Which it is. Who's to say that some weirdo *********ing in his basement to kiddie porn won't outgrow that attraction, marry, have kids, and live a normal life? My point was simply that these are PEOPLE we are talking about. They are NO DIFFERENT from you or I; they're flesh and blood just like all of us. But you talk about them like they're demons sent from hell to destroy all children. I guarantee that most people here have met pedophiles who seemed perfectly polite and normal and whom you never even knew were pedophiles. That was my point. They aren't monsters; they're human. Flawed, but human. Just as we all are flawed.
As I said above, great theory. But in reality, people don't, and never will, see it like this. A parents instinct is to protect their child. If I knew someone was atracted to children lived around us I'd move.
Then you'd better live in an underground bunker if you have children, because pedophiles are much, MUCH more common then you'd think. The odds are that you have one in your neighborhood right now. I have one a few blocks from my house who we had to be notified about and every thing; I've never even seen the guy in the 2 years since then.
And I already explained what my "theory" as you put it actually means above.
I know you were exagerating. But it's one of those stupid exagerations that really has no place here, unless it's actually what I said.
How does it have no place? All of your posts in this thread come out as someone who totally and utterly despises anyone attracted to children. You've said yourself that these people aren't "normal" and aren't like you or I. So my exaggeration makes perfect sense in this context; I'm saying what you're implying.
I'm not calling them evil though, am I? I'm simply saying I'd be cautious, and wouldn't let a child near them.
So if they aren't evil/bad people, then why wouldn't you let your child near them? Bit of a contradiction. I'm not saying we should all go find a convicted child rapist to babysit our children; I'm simply saying that these people aren't so incredibly simple as you make them out to be. How do you know that the pedophile down the street who looks at kiddie porn (but has no contact with children) doesn't cry his eyes out every night and think constantly of suicide because of his attraction? How do you know that he isn't incredibly ashamed and disgusted with himself, but can't help himself? You don't. The world is not black and white, good and evil, right and wrong. The world is full of grey area.
You just dislike the fact I won't say "Oh yes this is what I think" to your stupid exagerations. Because you've got them all from no where.
Wow. Just wow. Again, you apparently fail to understand the definition of the word "exaggerate". To say "Because you've got them all from no where" proves you don't understand the word. THAT'S WHAT AN EXAGERRATION IS. It's NOT based on fact; that's what makes it (drumroll please):
AN EXAGGERATION!.
Feel free to continue to respond, but I doubt you'll have anything to say worth my time. But if you feel as though you somehow have any ground left in this debate, please feel free to respond.
