[HELLRAISER II]

You are both right on your points, the people that make these films don't give a rat's ass about the people that they take advantage of, but these people asked for it so what can you say.

You are both right on your points, the people that make these films don't give a rat's ass about the people that they take advantage of, but these people asked for it so what can you say.

I'm not talking about the pornographers. I'm talking about the people here who say, ""hey, they're consenting adults."

Yes, the students "asked for it." The students aren't wholly innocent if innocent at all. I won't deny that.

But in principle society can act justly in forcibly preventing people from committing evil deeds. Should every sin be criminalized? No. Determining which evil acts should be criminalized and under what circumstances is a matter for prudential judgement.

OTOH, the "hey, they're consenting adults" attitude isn't born of love. It's an attitude of indifference, which is the opposite of love.

Revelation 3:15-16

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.
I wish you were either one or the other!
So, because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–
I am about to vomit you out of my mouth.
