Age of consent

[BuffaloBill]

Promote it?! Are you living in a cave?! Do you even have child?

No, I don't live in a cave, I have no kids. Do you read? Or is all your input from a CRT? Not to mention the inputs that gave you kids.

 

[Wenchy]

I have no kids

 

[BuffaloBill]

Oh and I'm Pro-Life..I'm not a parent so I can't have an opinion about bad parents?

You are entitled to your own opinion.

When are you adopting?

 

[BuffaloBill]

You are entitled to your own opinion.

When are you adopting?

That's so pro-abortion(and very liberal by the way)...pushing the blame and responsibility on to someone else. Someone has to be the victim here.

 

[vraiblonde]

I'm not a parent so I can't have an opinion about bad parents?

No, you can't. It's like having an opinion on how the military should conduct a war without any experience in the military. The Generals know more than the armchair quarterbacks.

Any other dumb questions you'd like to entertain us with?

Since when was pro-choice pro-abortion?

The difference between you bible thumping right to lifers and those of us "liberal hippy pro-choice freaks" is that we don't run around bombing abortion clinics, using pictures of aborted fetuses to further our cause, or generally get up in people's face about it.

Pro-Choice is simply that... preserving a woman's choice to choose... Abortion, Adoption, Raise the Child.

Sex is a physcial and natural urge to being in love,

There is no love involved in a bunch of overly hormonal teenage sex. It is NOT possible young teens in love to be having sex. Young teens MAY find love, but if it is the real thing, they WILL NOT have sex.

Love does not shut down all brain functions and propel a person into a mad frenzy of sex... that's called lust and is completely different. Teen sex involves hormones, infatuation, lust, feelings of inadequecy, insecurities, low self-esteem, and any number of other things, NONE of which have anything to do with love.

When I was in high school, we were asked to define love. The teacher told us we were all wrong. The right answer, the one she gave us, has always stuck with me and I've never seen it disproved..."Love is wanting what is best for that person."

There is nothing "best" about a 14 year old getting knocked up, which, regardless of what precautions are taken remains a possibility.

The other aspect of love that must be learned is that you cannot learn to love someone until you learn to love yourself. That is the answer to all the arguements you are now formulating about one-sided love relationships.

So please stop talking about "love" in relation to horny, fornicating teenagers. It doesn't wash.

..."Love is wanting what is best for that person."

That is not love, it is just a symptom of love.

 

[Dymphna]

That is not love, it is just a symptom of love.

If you want what is best for that person at all times (and I mean all times) that IS love. The trick is, you need to love yourself too. So, there is a lot of juggling and compromise involved. The statement is deceptively simple...the specifics are very complicated.

I was 16 when I started dating my husband. He was 20. I got married at 19.
We had sex beforehand. We were in love.

"Love is wanting what is best for that person."

But what if what *you* think is best isn't really what's best?

For example, some teen kid "loves" his girlfriend and thinks it would be best if they run away and get married so they can "be together forever". HE may think that's best, but it probably isn't.

When my son got engaged to my DIL, I thought it would be best if he didn't marry so young and ran around a bit before he settled down. Obviously I was wrong because she's a peach and they have a very successful marriage, and are insanely happy.

See what I mean?

Exactly. That's why I think the "you can get married without parental consent if you are 15 and pregnant" is crazy. Just because one is pregnant doesn't mean marriage is best, even though they might think so at the time.

And some people never get that no matter how old they are or how long they've been married.

This statement is itself, an absolute, meaning that either the person giving it is not intelligent, (which means who cares about their opinion) or they are wrong so ... :shrug:
