There was NO 14 year old ... only adults playacting the part of a 14 year old.

When I'm late to a party...I apologise for being late. I will not apologise for being late to this thread...especially when the above comment was made.

Your apparent determination, by this comment, that no harm was done....makes me wonder.

Do you feel that no harm was done? I ask this, because the brevity of the comment makes it appear so.

Why do you think "no harm was done?"

That's a good question. I didn't quite say that then, it's your inference, but I can go with that. Note that I do, or have said in other posts in this matter, that's Ritter's behaviour is shameful, a bad act, stupid. And even further -- since he was caught in a prior production of this playacting, he was warned, and that warning made Ritter's second-time joining of a play in progress far worse, more shameful, beyond stupidity.

Yet no harm was done. What harm was there, if you see some?

Okay, the easy question is who was harmed? Do you think that a 21+ year old police woman was harmed by meeting Scott Ritter, winner of the I'm as sick as Hollywood so they will love me prize, in a restaurant. No sexual activity is indicated.

Maybe the girl who was on the internet with him when he promised to do the manly thing, and wave it around? Oh, we're back to a 21+ year old police officer.

I believe this sting was on the sixteen year old, so I will say it again and it is important. It is legal in my state. I may not like it that way, and if I had any young daughters I would have some stronger words, but it is legal and pathetic here. My state says that even if the sixteen year old girl was real, it was okay. But then again we have Patty "Osama Mama" Murray as a Senator.

I like your name, maybe, my state will swing back to some sense.

Me, I think society was harmed a little (no real victims), but ages of consent have been one of the most contentious issues for states to deal with.
