  In that case, you shouldn’t fuck. I hope you aren’t fucking, because you are not an adult of sound mind.

  Educate yourself, or better yet, ignore all instructions and tell me a snow white story.

    Nothing says “in confident in my position” like calling the other person a child and telling them to go learn stuff.

    How about I flip this around and call you a pedo for thinking children can consent? Maybe your whole argument is a justification for your desires?

    See how stupid that makes me sound?

      I’ll stop arguing with you because you must be a troll.

      Any person who says “children can consent” is fucked up, I agree. Except that that’s not what I said.

      People under 18 can consent. They are not necessarily children. I don’t know what the age cut is, probably under 15 or 16. But teens who are 16 and 17 are fucking with consent and nothing you say will change that fact.

        Google “age of consent laws” and you’ll see that some are below 18 and some are at 18. Since I don’t know which geography we’re talking about, I go with 18.

        Underlining “fact” doesn’t make something a fact. Referencing laws does.
