 69.137.223.3, you really nailed the subject, as far as I'm concerned the real issue with all that underage sex non-sence is this, the entire debate has been split in a Pro VS Anti, and so anyone who has Anti views his automatically righteous, and everyone disagreeing with the Anti group is automatically Pro, which is an untenable position, and if you have the bad luck of being labeled as being of the Pro group, not only are your views, whatever they may be, will be compared to the vilest of baby-raper, but your yourself will suffer the extreme ostracisation equivalent of having been convicted of raping kids 

 I just don't see how there can be any kind of civilised debate of this issue in this kind of atmosphere, every argument can be won this way  

 Person A: "I claim that there may be a possibility that we as a society, are wrong about people who are over 18 and had sex with people under 18" 
 Person B: "BABY RAPER  AAAHAHHH, GET HIM, WE'LL HANG HIM ON THE NEAREST TREE !!!!!!!11111one" 

 unless I am mistaken, this is pretty much how witch hunts worked 
 but hey, Person B's position is reinforced by the flailing arms "think-of-the-children" philosophy of parents everywhere so it's not going away anytime soon, as we all know, parents would rather sacrifice 2 innocents out of every suspected child abuser, than risk a single one being "out there" (which in parent mentally means, right there on your front yard waiting for you to look around) 

 well in any case I won't take any chances of being labeled of a member of one side or the other and will return to my shed in the wood, talking to no one and shooting trespassers  ! ;)
