• I met an ex-heroin addict once.

    He said it was the greatest thing he’d ever done; made him feel just like Jesus’s son, to quote the song.

    He liked to curl into a tiny ball in the corner of the room, and then spring back with great speed to the size of a giant.

    It was fantastic.

    Also, he didn’t need food, or to have a wash, or anything. They…[Read more]

  • The worrying things is, drac, that I didn’t realise that it was a joke.

    think it was made in a chatroom discussion about liberalism and totalitarianism, but if it was pm then I apologise for mentioning it. To me, private is private, whether pm or mail or whatsapp.

    Even so, there seem quite a lot of dead bodies starting to pile up.

  • I think this a crucial distinction, but Ms K’s formulation of it betrays the problem, as well.

    Whatever age is made the legal age of consent – 16, 14 or 18 – seems to be arbitrary. There’s no actual reason why one rather than the other should be given.

    That’s shown by the constant resort to emotivism when writing of your feelings towards the…[Read more]

  • Drac,  If a 14 year-old girl agrees to sleep with a 60 year old man, or a 40 year old man, or a 20 year old man, it’s still rape, because the girl is below the age of consent.

    But why should execution be the right penalty, as you advocate on the other thread??

    What if a 16 year old slept with the 14 year old? It’s still rape. Why execution

  • Well…imho…

    I like to think of the wise words of Benny Hill, in an odd lowest middle class accent…

    I don’t believe in that sort of thing before marriage..and I’m not sure I believe in it after marriage either.

  • Speak for yourself.

    don’t let Boris Johnson know or

    he’ll have it plastered all over the country when brexit blows up and everything goes to Hell in October – sorry, if it blows up.

  • Not too high at all.

    You’ve got to understand that not everyone is mature at 24.

    An argument can be made for 46 as being the legal age, with strict  penalties for those who prey on the under-46’s.

    Mind you, I think 46 may be a bit high, and I’m absolutely certain that 7 is too low. Isabella, Richard II’s wife, was a widow at 10. Talk about…[Read more]

    I’m a failed sex pest.

    Are you a failed sex victim??

  • No.

    Why?

    I stated a preference for 24.

     

  • No.

    Why?

     

  • Sounds good, Gerry.

    Sorry, Mooosey. I try not to address you directly because our relationship seems to have more or less broken down. I address your points where needed, but I’m not making any snide comments about you or replying to the disparaging remarks about me, unless it becomes impossible.. Seems best to address propositions rather than…[Read more]

  • Noo. I don’t say that parenting is just what it’s about.

    I do say that parenting is what a lot of this is about. How do we protect grown children is what moves much of this debate, specifically whether older people are disgusting and should keep away form younger. It seems to be the case that parenting is important because it’s the parents who…[Read more]
