Foley was hitting on 16 year old young men. The males I've known, including me, were NOT sexual children at 16. I've read one of the teens met Foley in a gay bar. 16 year old males don't go to a gay bar because of their selction of imported beers.
Two males hitting on each other is disgusting - but this is NOT pedophilia! This is homosexuality.
If Foley had hit on me when I was that age, I'd have told him to get his creepy @$$ away from me before I broke every bone in his body. I didn't need Congress to pass a law to protect me from old men.
Damn, but we have a lot of wussies running around...
if he did have sex with those boys it would be statutory rape. Foley was what, 50 or so and he's hitting on 16-year olds? Sorry, but that's pedophilia. i know what you're trying to say, that 16 is old enough to know better or whatever, but the law is the law. what would u call it if Foley was sending these IMs to 16-year old female pages?

Great points.
The kid admits using a fake ID- so, he passes for 21 in some places.
When I was 16- I was almost a man. I worked after school, I drove a car,
I was contemplating joining the military in 24 months.
And like you- I sure as hell knew not to tolerate sexual approaches from some old guy.
I wasn't a child. I could take care of myself.
The media and the Democrats are calling this child abuse- Pelosi was almost in tears talking about Foley and his child victims yesterday.
If you read the kid's responses-he ain't no child and he ain't innocent.
