Comments on: Pedophile Uses World of WarCraft to Meet Girls

Just wondering that we can send them to war, teach them to murder before they are allowed to drink in the US. There is no exact science behind puberty. Our kitten went into heat at 5.5 months old, 2 weeks before she was to be neutered and 3 months early. The shock wasn't so much that I saw her with the local tom on her back, but that the cute little 3 week old kitten I rescued could actually want sex! Didn't want the kitten to grow up.
There is a girl in my son's 4th grade class who has tried to touch and kiss other girls. And then you have my son who febreezed the whole house after a classmate girl had to come home with us because of a family emergency. I had convinced him febreeze kills girl cooties so he would let her touch his things. Development of a libido just like growth spurts is different for everyone.

Consent and understanding are important. Pedophiles look for kids, but the kids look for them too. My son and his friends play xbox360 in private parties and check friend invites carefully. Other children we know are allowed full access in the privacy of their room and no monitoring. One family believes going to church every Sunday is enough.

My son was approached by a pedophile sending him a personal video of himself stripping to my child's youtube account. My son has me check all his messages since he got a rude one about a guy who likes to shoot cats. My son was 10 at the time. The pedophile was 12. I reported the video to the police and that is the last I know because even though he approached my child, he is a minor and must be protected.
Probably from me.
I overheard my son's classmate girls talking uncomfortably about a girl in the class that tried to touch and kiss other girls and they are all 10 and 11 years old!

Ignorance is bliss. But I can only protect my child by finding them before they find him

We may have tried to evolve, but are still ruled by our hormones and instincts. I had parents who always picked me up and dropped me off and never allowed a phone in the bedroom or computer. So, I was one of a small group of celibate teenagers who studied and had college-approved extra-curricular activities of volunteering at the hosptial, chess, math science clubs and swimming and water polo teams. To tired to get into trouble.

True. Most of the girls at my high school were sexually active and often with a teacher.
Hey, they are there to teach, right? Even in middle school, we knew of kids having sex.

a 82 year old is too old for a 19 year old but that seems to be okay

The only point I was originally trying to make is that there’s no need to whip out the pitchforks and hop on the wagon right off the bat without all the facts. That’s… it, really.

And yea, that doesn’t really roll off of the tongue so well.

I also want to point out that the news article I sourced was Australian and they were the ones that deemed him a pedophile. I just went with “pedophile” for the article because “Guy Who is Generally Considered Too Old To Date 15-Year-Olds” seemed too long for the title.

there was no shifting, but, if we go by your line of reasoning anything can be generally considered acceptable.

By: sporkfjord

sporkfjord — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:57:47 +0000

Haha, no, I wasn’t saying that. That’s why the word ‘generally’ is there, as applies to ‘crossing the line’, a -general- statement that could apply to a lot of things. Once again, I’m saying exactly what I’m typing, so shifting my words around doesn’t change what I intended to say.

So you can see there’s other factors here based on the individual and their particular environment, including not only socialization/normalization (upbringing) but local law. Now it can come down to your particular morals on interpreting this, or you can go with legality.

“I think crossing the line, generally, is when one is causing another to make a decision they wouldn’t normally be comfortable with”

so…if a 7yr old thinks its OK to do it then its no holds barred in your opinion?

The age of consent in Japan is 13 years old under the Japanese national criminal law code. However, all municipalities and prefectures have their own particular laws such as Tokyo’s “Youth Protection Law” which prohibit adults from having sex with youths who are under 17 years old. As an added note, even though the age of consent in Japan can be 13, the age of majority is 20 for voting. The age of adulthood is considered 20 and driving age in 20.

Haha, mostly. ;P Anyway, I just didn’t want this to become useless trolling. Dan, thanks for that bit – I made an assumption based on the plane ticket statement, which was my bad.
I think crossing the line, generally, is when one is causing another to make a decision they wouldn’t normally be comfortable with, but when someone is no longer a child is a much larger debate that has to do with the maturity of an individual, thus making it a lot harder to discern from society to society. If I’m not mistaken, the Japanese ‘age of consent’ is 13. This affects, and is affected by, a person’s upbringing in that particular social environment.

she did point out an interesting thing though, when is a child a child? 13 or 10 maybe 7? in this world where everything is considered alright when are you crossing the line?

madpuppy — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:24:00 +0000

ah, Dan, you know that I was just screwing with her…..mostly……:P

Would it change your argument at all if I told you that the girl in question is also from Australia? There seems to be this whole “halfway around the globe” argument that doesn’t apply because they’re both Australian. You’re also looking at the facts from an American perspective instead of objectively, and by that I mean that 15 is underage HERE, but it’s not underage everywhere in the world. Just something to consider when you start discussing who deserves the wood chipper.

That wasn’t intended to legitimize a relationship with a pedophile. I agreed with her statement simply because it is true that girls used to get married and be sexually active at 13, and only law decides what is technically a ‘child’ nowadays. I agreed with her because what she said is technically true. I never said it was right. In fact, not once in this conversation have I argued for right or wrong. It helps the discussion if you stop putting words in my mouth.
However, now that you have used gender, immaturity and an emotionally and sequentially unrelated situation to try and prove a point that doesn’t even counter mine, I’m through with this. Have a wonderful evening. :)

the correlation is emotional. not meant to be similar in any way to the article except for it’s emotional value. but, sitting up there it would be hard for you to see that.

I should have known you were a woman, agreeing with what seasonedsalt said:
“I don’t think 15 is pedophile territory anymore. We’ve kinda come full circle on that. Way back in the day girls were getting married off at 10 and starting families at 13. Society got all “girl power” and tried to stop that, and now here we are with girls embracing their sexuality, getting their periods at 10, and having babies at 13 anyways. Only difference is that now they aren’t married.”

Nobody who has ever had children and loved them has ever agreed to that sentiment.

only someone that is 15 years old themselves would use that logic to legitimize their own relationship with a Pedophile.

The problem with the scenario is it had nothing to do with the article.
You went from someone’s daughter being involved with an older man across the globe via the internet, to walking in on my significant other cheating on me in my own bed. I don’t see the correlation.

By: madpuppy

madpuppy — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:01:34 +0000

well, that changes everything. there was no hope in the first place. :P

you apparently don’t know what deductive reasoning is if you couldn’t apply the scenario to yourself.

By: sporkfjord

sporkfjord — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:46:28 +0000

I’m a woman, actually. Srs bsns. And this is an article. On the internet. It’s up for discussion, not meant to get personal, and thus I have the right – nay, the responsibility to be passive, so I can be objective. :P
Anyway, I don’t see what that scenario has to do with anything we’ve talked about, especially the bit about me claiming fault. If you can manage to tie that situation event-for-event to the things that I said to you, I will be amused for the day, and you can has +1 internets.

By: madpuppy

madpuppy — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:32:00 +0000

ok, your apparently a real passive guy. If you came
home one day from work early and walked in on your wife banging the milk man, would you sit on the edge of the bed and wait for them to finish so you can have a long conversation over coffee with the both of them to see what went wrong with you marriage, ask her how you were at fault? and how you can make things better?

By: sporkfjord

sporkfjord — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:22:57 +0000

…That would warrant this discussion even having a basis. :P
Simply, a lot of people jump to violent things like ’shoot them all’ and passing people into a wood chipper from various angles before they even know all the details. I found it interesting.

By: madpuppy

madpuppy — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:20:29 +0000

you got me, you never said he was right, but, you seem to think that other mitigating circumstances that would show……..what?

By: sporkfjord

sporkfjord — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:16:27 +0000

Case in point. When did I ever try and prove that the guy was right?

By: madpuppy

madpuppy — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:07:00 +0000

I get what you are trying to convey, she could be a
walking petri dish and have been around the block with older men many times, sure. There is still no way that you can prove to me that this guy is right. what he did was tantamount to cruising junior High schools for a chance to bang a slutty underage girl.

sporkfjord — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:56:08 +0000

I’m getting the impression that you’re missing the point of what I’m writing, so I’ll just say, I don’t know if I would like him to be banging my underage daughter. Because I don’t know him. And I don’t know what my daughter is going to be like when she’s 15. And while I can see your point and I seriously doubt I would want her to run off with him, or anyone for that matter, a one-sided debate is pointless.

By: madpuppy

madpuppy — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:51:18 +0000

Yeah, he could be the greatest “fella” on the face of the planet, but, would you like him to be banging your underage daughter?
