Children are not able to be in an equal emotional relationship with an adult. Age of consent laws are not about sex with minors being "icky" (although it definitely is). It is a way to keep adults from harming children while they are at their most vulnerable but don't realize it. All 16 year olds think they're grown up. They are not. I work with 16 year olds. They are children. Anyone who wants to have sex with one of them knows that. And while someone may be physically attracted to a teenager, crossing that line into action is predatory.

It's like, why is having sex with mentally retarded people wrong? They don't understand what is really happening, and they are immature and often will go along with anything an adult says to them or asks them to do. No, teenagers aren't retarded, but they can be manipulated because they don't realize how fucked up other people are or even that there are people that really would rape them or steal from them or whatever.

Children are much more likely to be naive and taken advantage of than adults, basically.

I think her argument is basically cultural relativism shows us that there is no objective morality to who it is ok to have sex with, which fine, is true whatever, but the vast vast vast majority of people in our society would agree that both society and individuals are healthier and safer under our ideas about this today than they were when girls got married off as a commodity at 12 years old. It's a question of utility. and again, there exists the need for arbitration. I have a hard time believing vixnix thinks it would be ok for an adult to have sex with a "consenting" 5 year old or something like that, so she can probably agree that a line has to be drawn somewhere. We now know that people do not finish developing cognitive skills such as reasoning, decision making, and judgement until their early 20s, so a higher age of consent makes much more sense than making it 14.

Having sex with someone who doesn't really understand adult relationships, while you - an adult - do, seems very likely to be wrong. No?

Of course morality is relative, everything is relative. In the vast majority of situations, an adult a significant age older than a teenager they are 'dating' (not talking 18/16 19/17 relationships) is going to have much more control over the younger person for many reasons. There is a inherent power imbalance. People who are okay with dating someone else who is very naive, childlike, immature, etc are likely to be predatory (if they are also not these things). Otherwise, people engaged in that practice wouldn't be engaged in it - they would want someone they can have an equal emotional relationship with. Am I explaining what I am trying to say coherently here? That is the difference between teenagers having sex with each other and teenagers having sex with adults.

Morrissey would actually be a great Doctor. However the Doctor has started getting ass from time to time in the new series

I know right he'd be so great as the doctor, all flippant and condescending. Such a galactic-class weirdass, he is.

I mean. I figure he'd be a dick to assholes who deserve it, good to his allies although a little condescending sometimes. I figure he'd be most like 5 with a little of 10.

who the fuck knows, he was the worst doctor by leaps and bounds. there were elements within the bbc aligning to kill the show at that point. I have no idea what the inside scoop is though. I know they also had serious issues with the actor. When he regenerated, they had to use Sylvester McCoy in his clothes because he wouldn't come back to film it
