If you are old enough to know better than I am honestly concerned about the safety of children around you. If you cannot see that there is something very, very wrong with an adult having sex with say a 13 yr. old - then you need deep counseling.

Wrong? Maybe I see something morally wrong with it. It would still only be my opinion. I might see it as wrong when two gay men have sex. But I don't try to keep the former banned or try to ban the latter.

Why is that? Why do you assume I am trying to support this form of legislation (or rather, this lack of legislation) for my personal gain?
