Clarification

It's one thing to believe that people should ideally wait until age 16/17/18 or marriage to have sex. But it is another thing to codify such a belief into criminal law. And plus, these AoC laws and their offshoots criminalize all sorts of trivial actions, such as chatting to "someone you BELIEVE is a minor" (!) about a sexual topic (see MSNBC's To Catch a Predator series). Most of the men caught in the deplorable operation were sentenced to three to ten years in prison. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Does anyone else hear the sirens of the thought police?

Many stories of people being arrested on CP charges because they WERE SENT a pornographic image of a minor? Society needs its head thoroughly examined and perhaps some meds too.
