        Would you say they’re pedophiles if they’re children themselves? At the end of the day you are raised not gifted intelligence.

            But if I, a 30 year old want to fuck a 17 year old, would I not also be called a pedophile? But if an 80 year old wanted to fuck me, he wouldn’t be?

            Define your terms of you end to be ableto communicate.

            This is where we get into the worse debatable territory. Is a 17 year old an adult because if you say yes a lot of pedophiles will love you a lot more now. How about 16 if we can go down to 17 why not just go below, say a 14 year old should understand enough. Hell if you teach a 12 year old properly they should know enough to be treated this way as well they might just not know how terrible they are. See why it’s important to make the distinction between child and adult? So I’m going to ask again is a 17 year old an adult to you?

              Pedophiles won’t be attracted to 14 year olds. Pedophiles are only sexually attracted to kids before they reach puberty. Most 12 year olds are safe from pedophiles for biological reasons.

              It’s not the pedophiles you have to guard your adolescents against – it’s sexual predators. And you cannot just assume someone is safe only because they turned 18 and lost all legal protection.

              So, are 17 year olds adults?

              Biological speaking, yes, and for a couple of years already.

              Culturally speaking, no, and they’ve got a couple of years to go before they become adults – there was a reason why comming of age used to be at 21, not 18.

              They are in between biological adulthood and cultural adulthood.

              There is a term for this stage of life: adolescence.

              17 year olds are neither children nor adults. They are adolescents, adults in training.

              Dude the devil doesn’t need an advocate and you’re making everyone here uncomfortable by being so damn obtuse, and to what end? Does this give you dopamine or something because there are far better ways to get that.

                If you don’t then you ignore everything we have been for and throw yourselves to the nature state because you can undermine law whenever you feel like it. This doesn’t matter until you realize the law is the only thing holding us back from killing each other. Go search up jury selection and understand even they cannot have any level of bias to the case.

                  The law is NOT the “only thing holding us back from killing each other”. There isn’t some crowd of killers ready to go, but oh shucks they just respect the law way too much. What a ridiculous notion. If the law prevented us from killing each other then nobody would ever kill anyone.
