Is there a right to be informed about matters? That is a very tricky question to handle, but I dare say that if the answer is no, then there is no right to consent (as you can't consent to a contract of which you are uninformed about). If the answer is yes, then the internet, or a similar...

That is why having children when you are too poor to support them (if done consensually, so rape doesn't count) should be a form of child abuse and grounds for removing the child(ren). If you were well off, had kids, and disaster struck, then I'll be more willing to help you out, but if you are...

My question is what are relative objective morals or absolute subjective morals? As to the question in general: Even reality itself, on some level, is only experienced individual by individual. While you and I think we have a commonly agreed upon experience, the truth is that I merely have...

So what is you take on statutory rape laws? For example, where I live, if two 15 year olds have sex, they both can be sentenced to up to 20 years for statutory rape (and lifetime sentence on sex offender list).

All children should have a complete knowledge of sex before they can begin reproducing (aka, well before middle school). Remember, the how to have sex is pretty natural, anyone could figure that much out with time. The diseases, hormones, pregnancy bits, not so much. So you aren't stopping...

Yep. Lose that job for what ever reason, and to them, you are worthless.

I find banning some number to be immoral, regardless of what the number can be made to represent.

Christianity in particular has a lot of areas left wide open and thus is most able to adapt.

Do you mean the attraction or the action. Major difference. Agree here. Disagree here. Argument: If I can kill and eat an animal for no other reason that I like the taste of meat, then I should be allowed to use the animal's body for other forms of pleasure as well. One should remember that...

Just an FYI, but studying Hebrew marriage back in the Old Testament and some in the New Testament. God was at least amicable to child marriage.

Perhaps you are correct. One could perhaps do a comparison between the number of bills on the issue this guy sponsored and the average for individuals with related demographics. Protest about what? But I agree such a list would be fun.

Technically, they still are. But you completely misread it. I was talking about how, 100 years ago, society was widely accepting of them, but now they are condemned as one of the worst plights upon this earth. Even racism didn't change that fast or to that degree. Once again, misread. I am...

While you, I, or most anyone else here will agree homosexuality between consenting individuals causes no harm (when having safe sex), many of the individuals who stand against homosexuality actually are quite confused on who/what homosexuality is. Also, all mere desires are, in and of...

People really should not be discussing this crap like retards. So, did I just curse? More importantly who gets to answer the previous question? This is one reason why I oppose censorship of foul language, even though I try my best to not partake.

Possibility of being ordered to commit depravity? Has someone not yet read their Old Testament?:yum: (I attempted to pick an inappropriate smilie.)

God command that any man who seduces a preteen only be required to marry her (Duet. 22:28-29). Somehow I expect if you were deciding the law, you wouldn't follow God's on this issue. (P.S. I bring this example up so often because it is one of the biggest differences between our culture and...

Or how those who are most homophobic end up having homosexual urges? I have, for a long while after reading the story, wondered if this holds true in other areas? For example, are those who hate rapist the most (while we can all agree rape is bad, there are those who want to rehabilitate...

While that might work in this case (not really though, as this is all a fight about what is a reasonable age), what happens when this is used surrounding other things? For example, some kid was just playing around with some code and did some unauthorized things on some government website...

Sexual assault, not exactly rape. I guess the argument would be proved he kissed her and argue a kiss is sexual. By saying it would be effective, you mean you would plea guilty? My issue here is the bigger problem of prosecutors using big crimes to scare people into pleading guilty to...

And you are ok with scaring people, some who may very well be innocent, into pleading guilty? Are you ok with this way of circumventing trial by jury?
