DT, buddy:

I quote myself:
me wrote:Before responding, I looked up UK law. I figured it wasn't my place to speculate on how you misrepresented what he possibly could have said, and so I left it at that. Now that you've gone there, I'm even more convinced you've interpreted something in your trademark way to get that alleged quote; if not fabricated it based on what you see as plausible backstory
me wrote:I find it an extraordinary claim to say that Chap said in a universal, unqualified statement that 16-year-olds are adults in any thread where DT is participating or might possibly participate
So, I've just repeated the exact Google search I did when I said "I looked up UK law", I googled: "age of consent in england".

It returns the A.I. Overview, which states: "The age of consent in England and Wales is 16 years old,..."

and the first question under "people also ask..." is: "Can a 30 year old date a 16 year old in England?"

LOL! It was like a double eye roll. Upon seeing that, I already know how Chap is going to get implicated into your scheme. But I didn't want to speculate about what he might have said. Now that all has been revealed I have to ask -- do you know how to read? Seriously. Of the two options I gave for your behavior:

a) I'm even more convinced you've interpreted something in your trademark way
b) if not fabricated it based on what you see as plausible backstory

I'm happy to see that b) is not the case and that your mistake is a), twisting Chaps words into something he didn't say. Noting the age of consent in his home country is NOT Chap saying or even remotely implying that "16-year-olds are adults". For that to be true, Chap would have to state point blank that 16 year olds are adults without qualification, and then if he wished to back it up, use laws or research to back it up. There's a serious disconnect in the way you process information.

It's not even believable that somebody of Chap's posting caliber would make a universal statement such as "16 year olds are adults" and then back it by citing his own local law. You have absolutely no grounds for your claim.

The issue isn't whether he said "under 16 minors" or "16 and above adult"; the issue is he's citing his local laws, not giving his personal opinion.

Would you be willing to create two threads for me? I'll find what he said and post it, do we have a deal?

Agreed, no grounds for his claim.

How are we still on this... Let's do a poll. So we can see once and for all where everyone stands.

In the UK legally a 16 year old could date a 30 year old. Morally it would be wrong.

No need for a poll. This has been going on for years. The only reason this continues is because DT continues to start thread after thread after thread where he speaks of women as things, especially young women (very young women!!!!), and where he expresses his desire to have society "approve" of his desires, and possibly even assist him in his scummy efforts.

If he thought of women as human beings it wouldn't even occur to him to keep asking society to accept and validate his wish to date younger women, because he would realize the only opinion that matters is that of the woman he is seeking. Until he stops objectifying women, he will not get to this point. Please don't humor his misogyny.

Taking a closer look at my posting history

Post by doubtingthomas »

I'm not obsessed with discussing sex and dating. I've created far more threads on unrelated topics, but the difference is that my posts about dating and sex garner significantly more replies. It's called Confirmation Bias.

So, I wonder: who are the people truly obsessed with sex? Here's a sample of the topics I created from Sept 2017 to Sept 2018

While the caption on this image is a bit tin-foil-hat for me, i can't deny its value as a counterpunch.

Im curious what the Democrats on this board think about this image.
