Reply #59: Wasn't meaning to be snarky but what exactly is a "minor"? [View All]

[karlrschneider]

I mean in the real world, never mind it means many different things from culture to culture and even from state to state. It even changes from time to time...20 years ago, 18 year olds were able to
buy beer but not vote...now they can vote but not buy beer. We allow 'minors' to drive autos and trucks in every state and the right to enter into contracts varies widely across the country. I have known
several 16 year old fathers...nobody ever tried to take their children away that I'm aware of.

Does anyone with an IQ over room temperature in 2006 think there are any 16 year olds who aren't
(too?) familiar with the spectrum of sexuality that exists? And nobody has yet provided a rational
explanation of why this kid who had lived and worked in Washington DC continued the conversation with
a guy he thought was "sick sick sick...."

Talking dirty to a 16 year old may be a lot of disgusting things but it is NOT pedophilia.
