Yes, but at the core sex is sex, in or out of marriage. And it is mindboggling to me how it can be believed that a married 15 yo is not getting ‘pedoized’ but an unmarried 15 yo is. Thats like the muslims saying that if you marry the rape victim that it wasn’t rape.
No matter the statute's phrasing, it is hard to justify that idea that two students in the same school, sharing the same daily experiences, are SO far apart in experience and wisdom that one must have their liberty taken for a decade or so, and have their entire future destroyed (registered offender), just for getting into a youthful relationship.
Pedophilia is actually an adult having sex with a pre-pubescent child. Sex with an adolescent (by an older person) is called ebeophilia or some version of that word.
It would be good if people used the correct terminology.
What needs to happen are two things.
1. Sex outside of marriage needs to regain shame.
2. Homosexual acts need to regain shame and illegality.
A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree 794.05 (1)
You must be a proud Muslim. Shall we start the Honor Killings, too?
I don’t disagree at all. But we both know it will never happen. Thus the ‘devo’lution will continue unabated.
On the pedo thing, How many people ever even knew the other word existed? Words no longer mean anything. I’m sick of fighting it.
End of discussion.
I humble beg to disagree. I think the devolution will hit bottom (almost has) and will turn the other way, back to reality. I really do. That is why I maintain my good cheer (most of the time, I do have to take breaks from FR) and why I am still in “fight it” mode.

Taking a look know, will reply. Who is that person who is attacking you, anyway? Any history?
I was thinking the same thing. Almost looks like a computer generated police sketch. Left eye is very odd.
“Democrats love kids having sex, you would have to be blind to miss that.”
Actually, all like it. The well acculturated conservative kids just know the risks are not worth it.
The logical solution is to implement a Romeo/Juliet exception to the Florida law/ For example, if the couple is 3 years or less apart in age, then the crime gets downgraded to a misdemeanor or something like that. Other states have these logical provisions.
This thread would have gone a lot easier if the libertarians would conceed three things: Age of consent laws were put in place to protect parents rights to determine what is acceptable for their children, Fifteen is probably on the young side to be having sex, and when a fifteen year-old and an eighteen year-old get together the eighteen year-old is usually the one who initiates sex.
