Yeah, we get it. Why?

Let me cut to the chase:

"Because."

[ikestoys]

because 16 year olds aren't full adults in any society.

[ikestoys]

In other controversial positions, punishing high school teachers for nailing their students also doesn't bother me.

No.

This sort of hurts your case actually. This is something obvious to an adult but may not have been understood by the 16 year old.

Do you see any differences between these two scenarios?

edit: Just asking btw. Given your responses thus far, I don't think it's possible to have a debate with you on the subject.

[ikestoys]

Not really, tell me exactly what the difference is.

[Brian]

You're quick btw.

Should a 35 year old be allowed to have sex with a 5 year old, so long as the 5 year old doesn't protest? According to you, the five year old has consented. According to society, the 5 year old is not able to give consent. Nielsio's "moral agent" doesn't apply to certain people.

plz?

No it hasn't.

Also, sex with 5 year olds is a strawman.

If you want my opinion, sexual maturity = mature enough to have sex. It's not exactly rocket science.

[Nielsio]

Taso,

One thing is for sure and it's that the judge is not in a position to decide if the girls were or were not capable of consenting to this.

"Davies recalled that one of the complainants testified that it would have been uncomfortable to continue working at the restaurant if the relationship ended."
