Exactly, and why have we made that decision as a society?? Is it because the child doesn't have the mental capacity to make that decision? Maybe, but that is pretty individualized isn't it? There are some children who are very mature and intelligent for their age and would likely be able to be just as "informed" as an adult.
The reason our society made that decision is because deep down we all know that an adult having sex with a child is WRONG. It isn't some intellectual equation that spits out the answer. You know it in your gut. Some of society has chosen to become numb to the idea of homosexuality, the same way we have become numb to alot of things that used to turn people's stomachs. Doesn't make them any more right now than they were before.
Face it Nostatic, even a liberal like you has morals...as much as you hate to admit it. You simply choose to have more lax morals than I do. And guess what? There are lots of folks who have stricter morals than me!! It's all relative.
