I have never compared this guy to NAMBLA. don't misrepresenting what I said.

Some people here sure get personal as IF they have a vested interest in the issue.

I misread your statement which I apologize for. I question your strident position on why he's a sexual predator, but I'll have to just say we have a disagreement.

I try not to make things personal, but I'm amazed at the reaction to this story as opposed to other stories.

RDB3 never once intimated that my position was racist for supporting Lott in those debates though some other freepers did. No problem though, I know who and what I am.

As for this case, I can offer my own life experience. When I was a senior in high school I was still 15 until my birthday in September. My girl friend was 18. The notion that she was guilty of some crime requiring 10 years in jail is crazy.

If the sex was consensual, 10 years is wacky. It's a bad law that requires immediate attention. There just is no moral equivalence between an 18 year old having relations with a girl who is almost 16 and a twenty something having sex with a 13 year old.

There needs to be some judgment involved here.
