Someone thinks that any of us have googled this shit? XD What's the point?

Quote:It's a ridiculous argument anyway, I can use statistics posted by Muslim Scholar though which actually defeat his own purpose as they say 62 percent of 10 year olds who had sex said they were persuaded by force or threats to have sex, the trend in the statistics is as they got older the less likely they were to have been coerced into it, therefore just as a guess I'd be willing to bet the percentage of 9 year olds who did have sex and were coerced was even higher than 62 percent.

And 38% of them had sex of their volition... perspective. Anyhow, maybe you can find the statistic? You see 10 and 11 as higher points than 12, but you do not see the data for 9, 13, 8, 14, 7, 15, 6, 16, 5, 17, 4, and 18. Calling it a 'trend' with only three data points?



Hey now... you might even be right. But... evidence where?

Are they? I disagree. I see them as just as easy to intimidate and abuse as just about anyone else.

Quote:The statics shows by Muslim Scholar show the younger a child is the less likely they are to have sex but those who have sex are more likely to be persuaded into it by force or threats.

That would be probable, considering that mostly people willing to break the law already would be involved in this statistic.

But no, let's not question the circumstances and selection and sample size of the data in question, and just call it 'trending' with three points of data

Well, he's a troll, or more accurately a poe, as you've noticed. I may sometimes troll, but I am certainly neither of these things Seriously paulie: I want a *good* argument out of you here... and I've been waiting, for gods know how long

Quote:And yes having sex with an animal is still animal abuse whichever way you look at it.

How about from the way of the animal coming up to you and sticking it's dick in you of it's own volition? Or would it still be animal abuse, humans being animals of course?

Dogs fuck birds, cats fuck dogs, dogs fuck turtles, pigs fuck dogs, horses fuck cows... is it such a stretch to say that an animal might actually want sex and not care very much what species you are? I've made this point before: tie a female human girl down, naked, in doggystyle, with a breeding male dog... see what happens

Any volunteers yet?

Quote:And 38% of them had sex of their volition... perspective.

From a statistical perspective 38 is lower than 62.
62 is higher than 38.

The trend is very likely to carry on in that way due to the biology of humans, the more older you are the more likely you are to have gone through puberty and puberty is related to sex.

It is logically unlikely that you will gather statistics from a group of 9 10 11 and 12 year olds to find the 10 year olds were having less sex than the 11 year olds but the percentage of those who did were mostly not doing it willingly 11 year olds were having less sex than the 12 year olds half of which were willing but then later find out the 9 year olds were having more sex than the 10 year olds and more willingly.

I'm arguing that 9 year olds shouldn't have sex it isn't exactly difficult. There's no pleading involved and I'm using the statistics of the person I'm arguing against.

Which is a better law for most 9 year olds, the one that allows them to legally get pregnant, beaten, distracted or totally brought out of education plus in realistic practical terms results in child abuse and forced marriages coerced by parents and so on.

Or a law which promotes not having sex with 9 year olds, good parenting education, no domestic abuse and so on, it's actually boring me how little effort I have to put into the argument, as I said I haven't even used my statistics and by the way yes I would say those statistics do result in 9 year olds wanting less sex than 10 year olds based on the information on those charts.

Guess how the majority of mammals on this earth came into being? By their parents having sex. Condoms split, contraception often causes medical problems so they aren't always advisable, abortions are often dangerous and basically it's just better for the 9 year old to remain not pregnant, call me old fashioned that's just how I see things.

Quote:And 50.1% is higher than 49.9%... struggling... to.... see... your... point.

My point is the majority vast vast majority of 10 year olds don't have sex, the majority that do, didn't want to and were persuaded by force or threats. You asked to see these statistics and they are provided to you by someone who is arguing the same point as you, now I paste them in front of you and you ask me what my point is?
Don't ask me for statistical evidence if you don't want to see it and refuse to see the point in it even if it is right in front of your nose.

Okay... then I'm arguing that 31 year olds should have sex it isn't exactly difficult. There's no pleading involved and I'd use statistics, only the person I'm arguing against hasn't provided any.

The only part of this for a 31 year old I have a problem with is the being beaten part, if a 31 year old doesn't want education or wants to become pregnant I think that's totally fine. Or if they want to marry someone for their money or whatever.

Quote:I've only denied this straw man six times... are you really that dense?

I didn't say you were arguing for people being beaten, I'm staying on topic for the thread, I'm talking about what I'm arguing against.

I know the only thing you seem to be for is the portion of the argument that allows 9 year olds to have sex but the thread isn't all about you, it's about Islam and the quran and part of being married according to the quran means your husband is allowed to beat you if he fears arrogance from you and has already warned you verbally and banished you from the bedroom as a 2nd warning, it's not strawman.

Quote:Okay... then I'm arguing that 31 year olds should have sex it isn't exactly difficult.

Go on start a separate thread and do it then, I'll debate with you on that thread too that 31 year olds should be legally allowed to have sex if they wish. As opposed to 9 year olds who shouldn't.

I was pointing out that the legalization of 9 year olds and 10 year olds being allowed to marry would be more of a benefit to pedophiles than to 9 or 10 year olds who want to have sex with 9 or 10 year olds, the statistics are substantial to the argument because they show as I suspected that most 10 year olds don't have sex, the majority that do were coerced, if you don't see a substantial point in that then that's your problem.
I'll add again those statistics provided by Muslim Scholar the man in favor of allowing adults to marry 9 and/or 10 year olds.

Because being pregnant suddenly isn't a problem for a 31 year old woman? Everything hangs in the balance, and here comes a disruption.

You THINK that's totally fine? It's almost as if you're learning... you may yet grasp upon the idea. Subjectivity's gonna hit you like a ton of bricks. Or a pound of feathers.

Quote:I didn't say you were arguing for people being beaten, I'm staying on topic for the thread, I'm talking about what I'm arguing against.

And I'm not arguing what you're arguing against: Abuse is abuse, regardless of the age of the person being abused, so kindly do not quote my statements and respond to them as though I am.

But then, I also am arguing what you're arguing against: that it's totally fine for a nine year old to get married or have sex with someone of any age from 5 to 95... as long as no party within said relationship is being abused

Quote:I know the only thing you seem to be for is the portion of the argument that allows 9 year olds to have sex but the thread isn't all about you, it's about Islam and the quran and part of being married according to the quran means your husband is allowed to beat you if he fears arrogance from you and has already warned you verbally and banished you from the bedroom as a 2nd warning, it's not strawman.

Social protocol and logic class time, please do pay attention.

You create sham arguments that you set up to be defeated, without addressing my arguments, and say you've addressed them. Learning experience: what you've created is a man of straw, and he doesn't have a brain. Thank heavens, for you set him aflame enough to make even the most basic of nervous systems scream bloody murder.

When someone quotes another person and responds to the quote... one is expected to be responding to the person's quote. Example, say I quote Tiberius on capitalism, but I'm REALLY responding to RevvieJ: Tiberius will be left believing I have neither read his argument, nor have any idea why I'm going on about the syndicalist content of "his" posts.

So, now that you've learned to not make straw men: impress me... illustrate to me *LOGICALLY*, and without a single arbitration or case of special pleading: how marrying a 9 year old is not acceptable... yet marrying a 50 year old is acceptable.

Quote:Go on start a separate thread and do it then, I'll debate with you on that thread too that 31 year olds should be legally allowed to have sex if they wish. As opposed to 9 year olds who shouldn't.

You and germans both... why should I put forth the effort to "debate" you when you've yet to show me a capacity to debate?

Do you have a morbid fascination with special pleading, or are your really too dumb to realize what you're doing?

Paul Wrote:I'm pleading with you to either make your point or shut up, nothing dumb about that.

Age lines are not a logically defendable legalization tool. They are made out of economics, and they are made for the perceived median archetype of the <stated> population. Emotion plays a pretty solid role in formulating or modifying these, even. The lawmakers just 'feel like' the age of majority should be X, very few go deeper and ask "Why do I feel this way? What's so special about 10/13/14/16/18/21/30/etc?". Just take a look at this thread as an example... take a look at all of the other nonsense we've had about age over the years (if you feel like a field trip )... and you'll notice a very similar theme within. Actually, you could expand that to a hell of a lot more than age (it's freaking fascinating! I should have been a sociologist/shrink, haha)... but let's not let the subject get too out of sight.

Which leads to the real point: this isn't about 9 year olds, but instead this: *WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF <A BEING> WHICH ALLOW FOR (in your eyes) THE FUCKING AND/OR MARRYING OF SAID BEING?*

Quote:Explain in detail why this is important, without any verbal dancing around or crap jokes that I normally have to plow through when I read your posts.

In detail: What is more common... homosexuality... or heterosexuality?

Ponder, then... boys and girls are often not allowed to be unsupervised in the same room, especially not when they're together as a pair, and especially not when they'll be that way for a significant level of time.

I haven't made a crap joke in a good while. I should get back to toilet humor, since so few seem to grasp anything beyond it. I MADE THIS FOR YOU!

Quote:In a thread topic about the Islamic system of marriage how do gays lesbians or bisexuals come into this when the majority of Muslims don't accept homosexuality as acceptable?

Am I invisible? Are my letters as white as the forum snow? Do my words fall upon deaf ears? Did my observation that LGB(t?) people typically have their first sexual experiences earlier than heterosexual people just get ignored again in favor of something I'm not arguing... again?

I'm rather more impressed that we're not rambling on about penis... we're 20 pages in, and still: a surprising absence of pedo jokes. I'm not sure if I should be impressed with the forum... or seriously disappointed.

Quote:Again explain in detail minus the crap jokes and verbal dancing around, which is funny because I know that's impossible for you.

You're a very hurtful person... I'm so glad I have friends



The point can be summed in first: feeling better about oneself, and second in justifications, for instance: "What have I got to lose?" Some people will, in a moment of weakness, commit an act that either A: They find atrocious, B: Their friends and families find atrocious, C: the law or God(s) finds atrocious, or D: some/all of the above and/or some more. Oftentimes, this person will feel guilty, lonely, angry, depressed, self-loathing, disgust... sometimes a point of weakness deeper than that which preceded them.

Good people are often criminals... anyway, it was more of a suggestion that you read up on 'criminal psychology' in general, as it's of particular fascination with pedophilia. Homosexuals were the same way (to an extent) at one point. Also... if you stereotype a whole swath of people and treat them as though they <whatever justifies your violence): you shouldn't be too surprised when some of them are pressed into meeting that stereotype.

Quote:I repeat again, because 9 year olds are more easily intimidated and bullied into situations and are usually not fully mature by this age in anyway shape or form.

9 year olds, women in general, asians, effeminate men, gay men, and geese all have that in common. You realize that it's not so much on a person to be not easily intimidated and bullied... as it is for the intimidator and bully to... ah... not?

Maturity doesn't save you from bullies, abuse, or intimidation. Presentation can help, but it's no guarantee.

Prove that someone is a poe or a troll... XD I don't believe that he defends islam, quite the oposite, infact.

As for why I wouldn't believe him, we have a few (well, at least one) really good muslims about who have talked about this specific thing before. Most of them do not recognize the young lady married to Mohammed to have been eight (or whatever), but rather at least 13 (or somesuch)... and not necessarily (or even likely, given Mohammed's character) consummated at that time.

About arranged marriages involving young people: they are usually implied as investments for both families. Only a fool would risk damaging such an investment... mind: there are as many fools in the middle east and in africa as there are in america. These are not problems with age, though: they are problems with relationships in general. They only appear magnified because of age... had these men you've presented had older wives: they would be suffering a similar level of abuse.

Maybe you'll present to me how this isn't so?

I still ask for data, since we have *THREE* data points... which *is not a lot*. I see the salmon run data from 2003, 2004, and 2005, and state it's trending up (implying that 2006 should be a better year than those before it), when the years 1995-2002 were mixed batch of 2-3 year swings up and down. But I don't have this data... and so I spend all my money in 2005, expecting to make it all back in 2006: crash.

DATA POINTS. MORE OF THEM. COLLECT... or stop bleeding using them

As if it's the only 'disgusting thing' a man might search for on the internet

Seriously though: the data is *not bleeding relevant to my question*... so once more with feeling:
