What's new

Don't Ask, Don't Tell is officially history!!

When one party calls off the fun and games things can get messy and quality of work starts to slip.

That's also why many companies don't allow interoffice dating. If I'm correct, the Army is another entity that doesn't allow it, barring marriage.
 
Let's run this again. Consent is the issue here. Animals cannot consent to sexual activity with humans. Children cannot consent to sexual activity with adults. That is why it is bad, because you have to exert force on another being in order to have sex. That's sound reasoning, not rationalization.

So if consent is the issue... lets say I give you a gun, and say i now give you permission to kill me with this gun.... does that make it ok. Let's assume I am of the age of consent.
 
It's only "reasoning" if it jibes with JazzSpazz's worldview. If not, clearly it's "rationalization". Being dismissive is so easy when God's on your side.

I believe I said it was my opinion.
I have faith in God.
Never once did I say I speak for God.
You seem to have issues with anyone who believes in God, because you did not address my points... but have attacked my belief in God which was just background to my thoughts on the subject.
 
This is very different than pedophillia. In order to prectice pedophillia you must commit rape. Just as mentally ill people are not allowed to harm others, even though we do not consider it their fault that they might try, we will never allow pedophiles to rape children just because it "isn't their fault." We might eventually send them somewhere other than prison, but we will not tolerate thier actions.

We already do send them somewhere else, but AFTER their time in prison, possibly for life. Look up Article 10 of New York State's mental hygiene laws. I think most other states also have equivalents. I think Florida's was the Jimmy Rice Act or something like that.
 
After removing the layers of ******** rationalizations...

Who are you to say you removed layers of what I said?
You formed what opinion you wanted to form, which is not anywhere near what I said.
Congratulations.
 
Except I have addressed some of your points.

on consent
on society crumbling based on use of the ***** for non-baby-making efforts
on rationalization v. reason

It's clear you're trying to believe something based on the dogma you subscribe to. No amount of reason, data, etc. would convince you you're wrong or otherwise misguided. You are firm in your belief because of your religion. Is this not true?

Religion is fine until it turns harmless people into villains, and persecutes them as such.

In Utah, even if proven mentally ill after commiting aggravated child assault, the perp must serve a mandatory 30 day sentence before being released into a mental health living facility. They then serve a mandatory one year in the mental health facility. I guess where they go from there depends on what the doctors at the facility decide the perps mental status is.
