@Slatzism LOL
A few goof-balls are trying to get a rise out of people like you for shits and giggles 😀😀😀 and they succeeded.
No real pedophile puts any admission of anything on the net. The FBI is monitoring everything and can easily get a search warrant.

@BourgaultGilles @Slatzism The entire concept of chronophilia is absurd on the face of it.

How old do you think the male in that photo is?
Yep. It is totally unclear if he is 16 or 24. We can see he's a young adult for sure. He's got puberty in the rear-view mirror. But how long ago nobody can tell. 2 years? 10 years?
In fact that actor was 16 at the time that scene was shot.

@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg If no one under 16 years of age is allowed to consent to sex, then every 14 and 15 year old is legally barred from any sexual activity other than masturbation, right?

@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg If you raise that age to 18 you impose, by law, mandatory celibacy on 15 million people who have all the sex hormones and sex drive of every other adult American. That would end well for sure.

@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg "Abstinence Only" programs keep young people uninformed or misinformed causing serious harm
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg BY FAR the best thing we can do for our young people is to be honest with them about the challenges they will face.
Yes, that means extensive, thorough, comprehensive sex education, both informal and formal.

@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Why do parenting when you can have policing?
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg American parents are too lazy to teach their sons and daughters about sex, when to say no, when and how to choose a partner responsibly and have sex responsibly. Instead they get politicians to pass laws so the police will police the intimate lives of high school students.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Americans are the laziest and worst parents in the world. Instead of taking the time to teach their sons and daughters to drink responsibly they get politicians to pass laws so that the cops will do their parenting for them.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg I have answered Unicorn's question repeatedly and comprehensively.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg and there should be one real age of consent. If a 16 year old can consent to sex with another 16 year old, why is it a heinous crime to do the same with someone older? Age gap relationships have never been shown to be harmful. It is dumb AF to lock people up for that.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Exploitation happens to people of all ages. Laws should not be written to protect only one age group. Nor should laws demonize or automatically treat everyone under 18 as if they were mentally retarded.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg "but what if there's a particularly stupid 14 year old German who gets exploited?!?!?!?!?"
Yes. It is written into the German rape laws that exploiting anyone's mental incapacity, or financial crisis, or desperate situation of any kind, is a felony. As is should be.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg 500 million people live in the EU. In every single country there young adults aged 14 to 16 receive the right to choose what to do with their own sexuality. They really have no problem with it. Talk to some of them.
The hysteria, the insanity and stupidity is all in the US.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Some weirdo fundamentalists might prevent their sons and daughters from learning about the world. That's very unfortunate. A young adult's best defense against bad people of all sorts is good information.
A logical age of consent is between 14 and 16.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Laws should reflect the actual danger. They should not be arbitrary.
When young people become able to give or deny informed consent they should be legally allowed to consent.
@MatthewSpeak @brazen_unicorn @GibranStormcrow @freethinking100 @IckyVickyEww @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg Normal 16 year olds understand sex and relationships. These concepts are not new or difficult for them. They are not small children. 16 year olds are perfectly capable of deciding for themselves if, when, and with whom to have sex.
