Ethically, the question runs deeper. Then the debate of the universality of rights and their legitimacy asfaras approving desired actions is thoroughly questioned. And there enlies the bulk of this debate. Legally, no debate here, it is acceptable in the United States as Isherwood has pointed out with his cite of NAMBLA. Therefore, let us not waste our time with legal debate. The primary debate lies in the ethical implications of affirming such a resolution as the one proposed by the thread starter.

Posts: 5,718 | Re-reading the title of the thread, I have no idea how you could get a lump of packaging to praise peadophilia.....or indeed, how you'd 'do' something like that! :eek: I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered. -George Best, on being asked what he did with his footballing fortunes. |
