But you didn't answer my question as to what the cut off age is which is what you are expecting of me, you obviously have (I hope) some age in mind where it probably isn't okay. What is it?
I don't believe there should be any laws governing who has sex with who. People young and old will naturally gravitate toward what is in their biologically programmed best interest. The govt, or any religion for that matter only serves to cater to the fickle interest of societies constantly changing ideas of what is "right" or what is "wrong".
I met my wife when she was 15 and I was 20, we literally fell in love at first site and have 2 beautiful children 11 years later. Am I a "pervert" for being with her when we were both younger? Maybe I should've waited till she moved away cause she wasn't 16 yet, then I would still be dating or with someone I don't truly care for.
I'm okay not rushing out to find the science saying sex between a 45 year old and and a 13 year old isn't right. You did, do you have some kind of vested interest in these distinctions?
That's exactly the problem, when you look at issues like this or in the media, many times people rely on their worthless opinions which mean absolutely nothing if not backed by sound research and the science that makes it happen. That's all they are....opinions.
I've been a scientist for over 10 years and studied various fields of evolutionary biology, psychology, theory, and mating behaviors of humans.
I can reference mountains of research when I talk about stuff like this, research that is both peer reviewed as well as located in some of the most prestigious journals in the world. The problem with society is they think they know what they're talking about but in reality, have no clue what biological laws govern our predilections or behaviors.
I can tell you why males who are between 15-25 commit almost all the violent crime, I can tell you why a waist to hip ratio in women for .67 is ideal, or how about neonotenous features? maybe you'd like to know that the maximum age of fecundity is 21 (the age at which a woman is most likely to give birth to a healthy baby) or that women are more likely to cheat with men who have higher testosterone during the period when they're most fertile (ovulation)
I can engage you further in this conversation but only if you're willing to back up with facts or hard science all that you're saying, other than that you're arguing an "opinion" which is just that.
addressed at me but, I actually do make a distinction between the targets in the dateline stuff and two teenagers one of which is and another which isn't of the age of consent, that's just teen hormones. And the decoys didn't say they were 16 (again that is a whole different situation) they were clear that they were saying they were 13 year olds. Why the need to steer the topic into something that isn't the matter at hand? It's when you have a 13 year old and a guy with a 25-40 year age differential, it's pathetic, it's creepy, it's sick. Get over it.
get over what? the science and facts that I been giving you throughout my replies? The fact that there is no such thing as universal morality? or the fact that half the planet disagress with you strongly as is evident by their laws governing these behaviors?
