I don’t care what you asked me. You make assumptions and judge.
If you don’t explain yourself, how do you expect anyone to know what your point is?
Jeremiah I’ve stated it several times. Many people cheer when its a 14 yr old boy raped by a 24 yr old teacher. Its a “learning experience” or its making him a man.
If the sexes were different many people here would be condemning the charges. Its also very unlikely charges would have been made against the older student.
By making a criminal case of it you are handing the gay community a prime opportunity to use it for pushing their agenda. This is what has been happening for 40 years and they are winning. Sure Christians win in the end but how many souls will be lost in the meantime?
In many colleges it is the norm for girls to have a boyfriend and a girlfriend. They are socially ostracized if they do not have a girlfriend.
So when you make a big deal about it because its two girls the younger generation is only pushed further away from Gods plan and anyone not supporting homosexuals is minimized.
. Many people cheer when its a 14 yr old boy raped by a 24 yr old teacher. Its a “learning experience” or its making him a man.
And those comments disgust me and many other people. FR is becoming like a cesspool. I’ve posted my disgust many times. Of course my comments were scorned and jeered, as usual.
As far as handing the “gay” community an opportunity to push their agenda, the time to worry about that was over at least a decade or more ago. If they don’t have an opportunity, they’ll make one up, or do without.
The only recourse at this point that I can see, is for people who still have the wits and character to understand the difference between “morality” and “immorality” and what societal acceptance (what to speak of promotion) of immoratliy does, need to stand up, shout, and not shut up. Courts and judges are larded with leftist pukes, the fedgov the same, and it seesm as though the outright tyranny many have feared is now on our doorstep.
Not shutting up is about the only option left.
and if that is where you have sex then you too are disgusting
I have NEVER had sex in a public bathroom (which being on school grounds this one was)
I'm with you, Nifster. It's disgusting. I've never done that and never even considered doing that.
My point was not that sex in bathrooms is good, but rather that my reviews of police reports for many years show that public bathrooms have become a common place for such activities. Numerous incidents of sexual misconduct on school grounds have involved bathrooms as well.
yeah unfortunately there are certain public rest rooms that have a reputation as being hook up points. I am not naive it was just more the yuck factor that I was trying to express
OK... just didn’t want to leave the idea “out there” that I have ever engaged in such activities, let alone in bathrooms or other public places.
I’m talking about not throwing seed on stony ground. Not “shutting up”.
you are good....no such impression
OK. No problem.
People Google and I’m sure you can understand why I can’t leave that out there without a response.
I understand completely

Here's my response:
Your column includes this paragraph:
“It really is time to give some serious thought to changing the laws on sexual contact between teenagers. I know the laws are designed to protect younger children from older kids who might be more aggressive in pressing forward with a sexual relationship. But when we try to legislate something as hard-to-control as the sexual urges of teenagers shouldn’t there be some wiggle room? Say, consideration of extenuating circumstances like their scholastic achievements or their past contributions to the community? Do we really want to imprison a church-going, straight A student bound for college because he or she acted on a normal urge?”
I have a very major problem with the people trying to portray 18-year-old Kaitlyn Hunt as a victim and the authorities in Sebastian, Fla., as some kind of persecutors instead of protectors of Kaitlyn Hunt's 14-year-old “lover.”
Change this situation from an attractive 18-year-old lesbian cheerleader and a 14-year-old girl whose parents object to the sexual relationship to an 18-year-old male football player and a 14-year old female freshman (or eighth grader) whose parents object to the sexual relationship. How much sympathy would there be for the 18-year-old male?
Statutory rape laws exist for a reason. Eighteen-year-olds in high school should not be having sex with 14-year-olds regardless of their gender.
When they do, and **ESPECIALLY** when the parents object, law enforcement agencies have every reason to get involved.
Put bluntly, this isn't love. This is abuse of power.
Parents and police exist for a reason.
Society is getting worse and worse.

A Dogged TV Reporter Defends Herself in the Jackson Case
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E00E2DB163BF935A25755C0A9639C8B63
I don't know Dimond’s work well enough to know if she's changed her views since 2005, but it certainly looks like she's an example of a high-profile opponent of pedophilia who has been recruited — or who has offered herself — to defend sex between 14-year-olds and 18-year-olds.
I get the point that what Michael Jackson did is more obviously wrong than what Kaitlyn Hunt did. A 46-year-old man sleeping with boys grosses out most Americans, even today.
Eight years ago, Dimond wrote this about Michael Jackson: “I have said that it's inappropriate for a 46-year-old man to sleep with other people's children. He says it's innocent. My response is that society doesn't see it that way.”
My response is that society is quickly changing. That's not a good thing.
There are standards of right and wrong — not just whether “society sees it that way” — and when we lose sight of those standards, we fall off a cliff into an abyss of moral relativism where eventually virtually anything may end up being viewed as okay.
It's amazing to see how Diane Dimond, who for years was being attacked for doggedly digging into the Michael Jackson debacle, is now defending 18-year-olds having sex with 14-year-olds as being acceptable.
In Dimond’s words:
“It really is time to give some serious thought to changing the laws on sexual contact between teenagers. I know the laws are designed to protect younger children from older kids who might be more aggressive in pressing forward with a sexual relationship. But when we try to legislate something as hard-to-control as the sexual urges of teenagers shouldn’t there be some wiggle room? Say, consideration of extenuating circumstances like their scholastic achievements or their past contributions to the community? Do we really want to imprison a church-going, straight A student bound for college because he or she acted on a normal urge? Mental health experts will certainly say it is not healthy to declare a young person’s first sexual urges as ‘criminal’ or somehow taboo – whether they are opposite sex or same sex attractions. The heart wants what the heart wants and no law can extinguish human desire.”
There's something really, really, really wrong when the desires of the parents of a 14-year-old girl to protect her from the sexual advances of an 18-year-old get characterized as being something bad.
Society is getting worse.
