Anyway, maybe I'm not making any sense, but this is sick and should be soundly rejected by society. Children must be protected from this filth. This isn't a debate to even have.

I think that one of the problems is that people don't want to consider the facts, they want to dismiss it as "sick" and rail on about "protecting the children". As a result, those pushing the "child-adult sex is okay" propaganda can use that as ammo, claiming that their opponents don't have any factual arguments, just emotional knee-jerk reaction.

I think that the best reaction to attempts to legitimize adult-child sex is to present real facts with little emotional rage. Yes, express anger and revulsion, but don't do it when refuting your opponents -- stick to the facts to show that their arguments are really weak, don't try to get into a shouting match. They'll bury you in intelligent-sounding pseudoscience.

You're probably right. This is my gut level reaction as a mother of three young children.

However, in debates, I would simply ask the audience: Should your child be allowed to have sex with an adult even if he/she wanted to? Start there. Bring it home to people. Then, throw in facts and sound science.

However, it all goes back to whether society should be condoning or encouraging pre-marital sex, and at what age? Are there any studies done on the divorce rates for couples where one or both of the spouses were virgins? Or on the promiscuity rate compared to the divorce rate? Then we have studies on abortions (oh, yeah, the liberal pro-aborts don't keep good records, surprise surprise), increase in births, adoption, suicide, education, economic status, etc., etc.

Someone SHOULD do the research and counter this argument; I don't disagree with that. I would be pleased to quote and use it to refute this liberal witch. But there are so many factors in child-sex issues that I wouldn't even know where to start.

"present the facts"

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of those facts you're talking about? I could really use some now as I've got a little fire storm brewing with my daughter's school and the fact that the Madam (school principal) seems more intent on running a whore house than an insitution of learning.
