A 14 year old is a child. What is wrong with you? I guarantee you don't have daughters. And if you do, I don't even know what to say, except I hope to hell their mama is watching out for them.

No, there are no states where the age of consent is 15. https://www.legalmatch.com/law-libra...-by-state.html

I'm sure you'd say the same thing if Obama was accused of trying to date 16 year old girls when he was 35, you'd say "big deal."

I'm more concerned about how we have altered our historical acceptance of rape and pedophilia into the modern day morals. I'd like to return to the good old days. Trump will help make america great again on the morality front.
Poe's Law strikes again. I have no idea if this is satire.

Ok, now I know you're a troll.

But when it comes to sex, girls, especially younger ones, see it as more of an emotional thing, versus a boy or man, where sex is purely a physical thing, no strings attached. This is why most men that were raped or molested by older women do not see it as a bad thing, some even consider it a great thing, or wished it happened to them.


The legal system cannot treat the two sexes in different ways though.

Anyone want to go on record and accuse these 4 women of being liars? Let's take the next step and truly own it. Don't just say "fake news." Go ahead and flat out call these 4 women liars.

I wonder if 4 women accused Obama of sexual harassment decades ago, would Trump supporters be asking for evidence before asking Obama to step down? That was rhetorical, because of course we know the answer.
Not sure what they're saying. This is going on gossip - what she told her friends, what her friends said she said.

I am personally unaware of any context in the US today where it is acceptable for a 32 year old man to undress and touch a 14 year old. If this is something you defend, or perhaps even practice, that is a reflection of your character and not what is acceptable.

To be more specific, you think there is context that can justify a 32 year old attorney at the DA’s office in Alabama undressing and kissing a 14 year old high school student in the 1980s? Jim Zeigler, is that you?

No, actually that's wrong. It was not 'gossip', it is based on the independent statements of four women who had contact with Moore when they were young. Why are you being an apologist for Moore?
