You replied to me, replying to
@Jade Philosophies specifically. Hell, you replied to this entire thread, which is dealing with the aforementioned user defending his lust for teenagers. You can play cute all you like, but it makes you look foolish.
My reply to you was not a defense of
@Jade Philosophies and I haven't said a single word about or to him this whole thread.
I don't agree with him in the things he's saying. If I fall anywhere it's somewhere in the middle of your opinion which is "date only your own age" and his opinion of "yeah date 14 year olds"
I see nothing wrong with adults making whatever choices they want. I think that an 18 year old can choose whatever she wants, for that matter I also think a 17 year old could choose whatever she wants.
I don't agree with this "underage" business because underage is subjective to whatever area the law says is the age one has to be at or over, in most places that's 16 making 15 underage, and I don't think 15 year olds should be able to make adult choices, but I don't see anything wrong with 17 or 18 year olds making any choice they want whether that's military service, alcohol, driving a car, who they want to marry, if they want to go to university or drop out of schooling, sexual activity, etc.
I don't agree with this Jade person as much as I don't agree with you.
Obviously, YOU never peaked in intelligence, so it fits.
NORMS. CHANGE. It's not the 80s anymore, you nonce.
Norms do change, but the issue isn't norms changing, it's the reasons for those norms to change which are social issues, and the consequences of the change of worldview. I don't think our world is as healthy as it was in the 80s I think it's hard to argue against this and it's also hard or impossible to isolate one norm from another when the entire social system moves together. These norms have changed in addition to many other norms.
The cause of the shift and the outcomes the shift has created are the important topic of discussion.
