It seems like a majority think that way. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a
law like it.

 MvdV> Yea, that may stop most adults. It will not stop the teenager.

It's not intended to stop the teenager, nor the likes of adults like Menno
Blom.

 MvdV> Perhaps. Point is that it will not stop the teenager.

What the teenager does isn't the concern of that law, it's what the adult
does that is.

 MvdV> So if the teenager decides to have sex with an adult (s)he will

You mean like Menno Blom.

 MvdV> The end result will be sex between an adult and a teenager, not
 MvdV> matter what the law says.

If the law were to discover what the adult did, he'd be in a world of
hurt, not the teenager.

 MvdV>>> and if the male of her choice is five or ten years older than
 MvdV>>> herself, then no law is going to stop her .

 MvdV> It will not stop ALL adults, so the law does not have the desired

The law's desired affect is to stop an adult from having sex with a minor.
It's quite successful in that regard.

 MvdV>>> Really? So what IS the difference?

 MvdV> You are not answering the question.

It's a moral thing. Not being able to read what was said, I now understand
your moral stance in this issue.

 MvdV>>> If the girl wants an adult, she will have an adult. No law can
 MvdV>>> stop that.

 MvdV> It wil not stop all adults.

Then they'll be prosecuted.

 MvdV> The law merely limits her available choices. To her disadvantage.

To people like Menno Blom...
