Ah, you responded yet again. Wish I was here sooner to read it when it was fresh.

Quite possibly right before you ignored the rest of my post while continuing to respond to it.No. I simply chose not to respond to the specificality of your message, because nothing you brought up has counter-argued the driven-home point that I had made. They all simply fall under my very own point.And, what you said now in your most current response continues to fall short of a sufficient counter-response. I never said that all laws of the past are bad; in fact, I don't recall even ever being on the tangent in regards to "bad".To put my previous posts in the simplest paraphrase that even you would probably understand, laws are good to have, but they don't always (keyword) work well.However, none of that is something I haven't already mention. I seem to note that I'm not going to get anywhere with you and decide I won't waste much more time with my rhetoric. If you don't get it by now, I should assume you won't for a long time, if ever at all. Quote:Seriously, at what point to you say "murder shouldn't be illegal because it's a law from centuries ago, a time when they couldn't imagine a society beyond their own". HA! I absolutely knew the murder card was going to be played eventually. It was just a matter of time.I can go into yet another rebuttal, this one about relating your logic ^^^ with the equating of gay sex with threat of population On the other hand, I already advised myself to not go any further with you. (Then again, if you have legal qualms (or outright objection against) gay sex, then I guess that one wouldn't have worked anyways :P)By the way, murder has been legally justified before, spanding both geographically and chronologically. See? Quote:This crap you're spouting is the reason we have to teach our children to protect themselves from strangers and the reason I've spent so much time trying to help a teenager or young adult put back the pieces of a shattered life.And the fact that you are crying fire to a house that is not burning to the ground is specifically why I spend so much time developing an argument to discredit it and why I chose to speak here in the first place. And, it will be a reason why I, in the future, would have to console those adults, especially young pre-adults, who have been unfairly and cruelly hurt by pedophile laws.On a side note, MY children will learn the difference between "child predator" and consensual sex. I too will teach them that there are people out there out to prey on and expose children and will teach them how to protect themselves from sexually predatory behaviour.I respect you for your work to protect children and teens against the same.
