indeed.

All I want to add is a point of legal clarification. I am not a lawyer but I have had to look into this in a few jurisdictions. If one person is under the age of majority, and in some jurisdictions especially if the person is younger than the other by more than three years, consent is simply not legally recognized at all. Even if the younger person initiates, the law will find the older person guilty of a crime if anything happens that is sexual in nature. I don't know Shaun at all, so this is not an accusation; it's just a clarification that mutual consent is not possible with a minor.

and that is why I am very careful about whom I engage with in a manner that is anything other than plutonic

because not only for legal reasons but also moral reasons.

Man of God heard the word paedophile, and stopped listening to the rest of the post. Just like when I see him talk about sodomites, I automatically assume he is one. Yes, this is the correct thing to do it appears.

I used the transcript feature myself. :-) And I added the clarification about consent because I don't want anyone to read into this the idea that all you have to do is ask or accept. Again, no accusation here, just making sure nobody walks away with a risky assessment of what's ok.

exactly. I have a legal obligation and a moral obligation to insure anyone I engage with sexually is of an age where legally and morally they are able to do so. Moreover, the likes of Jim man of god, need to keep their cocks in their casicks and their unwelcome and unwanted judgey opinions to themselves. don't you dare quote scripture at me and use it as a weapon. that's not something I will be a party to and that's not what God, much less Christ, intended the scriptures to be used for.

I actually appreciate doug, that you went and looked that up. just because I know a thing, doesnt' mean everyone else does, and I suspect they don't care either.

Aw, come on, Jim, that isn't what he was saying. You can be awfully judgmental at times!

People really like to run with the whole pedophile thing. They even apply it in situations where both parties are able to legally consent. If a 60-year-old and a 19-year-old want to be together, there's nothing wrong with that. if both parties are mentally able to understand what they're doing. But people will often call that type of an arrangement pedophilia as well when it's actually not.

Good morning everyone. Jim, apparently, you did not hear what Sean said. Shawn said he is not, with a strong emphasis on the word Knott, a pedophile. And Gordon, you're right. I don't know why people automatically assume that people are pedophiles sometimes. Sometimes, the world can be judgmental, and they're not looking at the whole picture.

indeed the flavored water had a considerable amount to do with it. Never the less, you are correct in that the choice to call me out, especially about things they know nothing about or even have heard and believe to be true, was not the way to go about things. If it is one thing I will not tolerate, it's my character being inpuned by accusations of any kind of misconduct when it comes to dealing with firstly children, whom I will protect with my dying breath, and women who are legally and morally old enough to engage in things best left for behind closed doors.

I placed my commentary regarding Christian handling of things like this in a fairly significant text comment on your more recent ramble about the rabit hole just now.

I see that.
