I guess I'm not a pedophile (or a republican)

[MoseyWalker]

I believe that cruising the internet(s) looking for same sex partners who are 36 years younger than I am constitutes pedophiliac interests.

Semantics don't matter.

An older adult looking for a pre ADULT sex partner constitutes pedophilia.

One can argue until they are blue in the genitals, but this means an adult wants to have sex with a child.

1. I believe that adults cruising the internet ...

... for 15 - 17 year old kids makes one a sexual predator, regardless of the gender of either.

*I'm not talking about "adults" barely out of adolescence (I do firmly support "Romeo and Juliet" laws)

2. You say semantics don't matter...yet your entire argument is semantic.

However, since your argument's already been argued 10000 times, I'll go in a different direction -- why does it matter, criminally, morally, or semantically, whether one is crusing the internet for a same-sex or opposite-sex partner?

5. it doesn't n/t

3. of course it does.

the rest of this crap is insanity.


I suspect a few people were abused as a child, therefore are defending it.


GET REAL. I am the mother of an 18 yr old and 14 yr old... say that shit to my kids and I will strip you of your balls and make you beg for career worries before you ever lay a hand on my teens.....

4. Sexual Predator.

Hitting a stranger on the street is assault. Hitting a family member at home is domestic abuse and assault. Both are hit, both are hurt. Semantics matter for legal purposes, but reality is that it is just wrong.
