“Your definition of "ignore" is almost as stupid and perverted as you definition of "Pederasty".“ It is not surprising that I would consider pederasty as it was practiced by cultures for centuries. After all, I am educated and widely read in the arts. And you (obviously) are not. The issue suggests more to me than one line in Webster’s! In 500 B.C. pederasty was a commonplace cultural activity and considered normative. An educated person acknowledges that. At the same time, an educated person understands how ideas of human rights have advanced to protect the weak and the vulnerable and to give ABSOLUTE terms to the idea of “consent”--(an Age and a Competence). Are you able to differentiate between the cultural ideas of pederasty in (say) the times of Jonathon and David in the bible--or Augustine of Hippo...and modern ideas--where profound thinkers such as Jefferson, Paine, Rand, and Ingersoll have given human individual rights a top level hierarchy??
