You're back to the "Everyone who criticizes this movie supports child trafficking!" nonsense. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you on that idiocy.
There are plenty of pro-pedo libs. It's not a stretch:

There are pedophiles all across the political spectrum. Including plenty of conservatives. Please don't pretend otherwise.

Conservatives don't get to call them Minor Attracted Persons and keep their jobs at university.

Eh, from an academic perspective I get it. The base assumption is that people don't actively choose who they are attracted to. A straight person doesn't choose to be straight and a gay person doesn't choose to be gay, it's something that is inherent to their psychological profile. Likewise there could certainly be people out there who are attracted to minors without having actively chosen to be.

Should they face punishment for a feeling beyond their control? I'd say no. But at the same time acting on that feeling is criminalized because we have declared that minors can't provide informed consent. I'm also fine with that.

In an academic sense.

How about in a legislative sense?

Quote:

California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a controversial new law regarding judges' discretion on whether or not to add individuals to the state's sex offender registry who have committed sodomy with minors.

Newsom signed the bill, passed by the Democratic-controlled state legislature, into law without comment on Friday, expanding the discretion granted to judges in statutory rape cases, according to ABC 7 News Los Angeles.

California law permitted judges to decide whether to place a man on the sex offender registry if he had consensual intercourse with someone 14 to 17 years old and was not more than 10 years older than the other person. However, that discretion only applied to vaginal intercourse, which LGBT advocates, including the author of the new bill signed into law Friday, argued was discriminatory toward gay men.

Conservatives don't legislate it. Liberals do. Such as California refusing to categorize child trafficking as a "serious felony", until this movie became a thing.

Conservative pedos hide the fact that they are pedos and, if discovered, are prosecuted/shamed/etc. mercilessly. Liberals (such as those referenced in the video) write books about it and are praised by fellow liberals.

Lots of states including Texas have what are sometimes called "Romeo and Juliet Laws" which allow relationships between minors and young adults depending on the age difference. I doubt anyone objects to a 17 year old dating an 18 year old, but at some point we get to an age difference where it is objectionable. What's that difference? I don't know. I'm glad I'm not a politician that has to decide it either.

And on the flip side of this we have Republican elected officials defending child marriages for some reason. Which is worse?

A pedophile. No.

An illegal act? Yes.

And that California stops at 14 only temporarilly if history is any guide.

That's not the objectional part. The part I highlighted is.
If you believe that it is OK for an 18 year old (an adult) to have a relationship with a 17 year old (a minor) then you are by definition saying that in some cases it is OK for an adult to have a relationship with a minor. You seem to not find this objectionable.

I fail to see why following that up with asking at what point that relationship becomes a problem is objectionable to you.

It's not saying its legal, its just letting the judge make the call if they have to register as a SO if its within 10 years. California is more strict than Texas in this regards.

Let's cut to the chase: Do you think it's okay for a 30 year old man to bang a 17 year old if both say it's okay?

No. But I'm not seeing how that's really relevant since that is a 13 year age gap (in other words would not be left to the judge's discretion under the California law Squadron7 is talking about).

I'm not familiar with what Squadron7 is talking about. But liberals in California did refuse 9 times over a decade to count child trafficking as a "serious felony" making it ineligible for the "3 strikes" law. In what sane world would somebody want to exclude that?

So basically you're just out here accusing people of "justifying pedos" without actually having any clue what is being discussed.

Cool.

You do realize that multiple examples can be discussed at once?

Did you even watch the video I posted that talks about the subject (before Squadron7 posted his)?

If in your world, you have to ask what's the difference between pedophilia and a 17 year old dating an 18 year old, then I don't want to know what color your sky is.

They weren't saying "what's the difference" in the way you read it. They're asking what the difference in ages is / should be for it to be objectionable. Like difference as in X minus Y.

This movie is about little kids being bought and raped by grown ass men. In that context, it's pretty gross to ask, "but what age span is okay?", don't you think?

I'm not upset, in disgusted by your question. Why would you ask that in a thread about an anti-child trafficking movie? You might as well ask, how old is "old enough"?
Rocag

Because Squadron7 and I were discussing a California law he brought up that gives judges authority to decide whether someone who has sex with a minor should be on the sex offender list for cases in which that age difference is less than 10 years. You know, that part of the thread you already admitted you weren't paying attention to? It was not in direct relation to the movie.

Honestly, it's not that difficult to go back and read the thread and see for yourself what the context was. Hurling insults and accusations against people in conversations you aren't even paying attention to is pretty low.
