Grown men ****ing pre-teen boys ALWAYS causes harm, and
is ALWAYS wrong. You have conceded that it is
age-determined, although you are too stubborn and
stupid to acknowledge the concession now.

Adult men ****ing pre-teen boys ALWAYS causes harm, and
is ALWAYS wrong. You've conceded that.

Yes, AT ALL.

You are plainly wrong to claim they don't care about
the law. They may not respect the law intellectually,
but many do indeed "respect" the law in the sense of
being deterred. There is a wealth of literature in the
criminology and economics literature that examines the
deterrent effect of punishments. You are completely
unfamiliar with the literature, and have your usual
ideologically driven sophist's need to pretend it isn't
there. It is there, and it refutes you.

queers enjoying special privileges.
