Re: Are you a Caveman?

If it is wrong then it has been wrong and will be wrong regardless of where it happens.

This contradicts, completely and directly, all your anti-absolutist arguments you've advanced, especially vs Dante and I, who have argued with you in explicitly absolutist terms.

I don't claim to be right or essentially logical so fire away! You will probably tear holes in my logic and philosophical beliefs but since when has logic and philosophy governed the real world?

I'm probably not mixing in the right circles but I haven't seen any evidence for pre-pubescents campaigning for adult/child sexual relations to be made legal or non-paedophiles doing so.

What about every single instance of charged-against "statutory rape" where the minor doesn't want to witness for the prosecution?

There might be a wealth of reasons why a child would do so and I am sure you can envisage those reasons as well as I can, so stop playing games.

particularly when it is not essential to a child's early development.

Reading is not essential. Even talking is not essential. Walking is essential, but swimming, jumping, climbing, and even running, are not essential. So, will you talk to your children or not?

Good try but show me the evidence.
