Fine words. You're arguing for the sake of arguing a provocative, idiotic point (AKA "pot stirring"), you're insane, or you're a pervert as JLA charges. Take your pick.

So far the good folks here have done a masterful job destroying the lunacy you have vehemently defended here. I have been disinclined to enter the fray because it is just that; pure lunacy. However, claiming that you don't know whether enough facts exist to determine whether that child was damaged is a bogus straw man argument. The laws are in place partially because of the high risk that any child will be permanently damaged by this type of sexual abuse. And that is but one of the legitimate reasons why there are laws in place making this act illegal. Arrrrg!
