What's your opinion of sharking?

[Esquilax]

So that's to the question:
Am I the only one in this forum who made pranks and mistakes in his youth and enjoyed them, regret them and therefor learn to show more empathy to teenagers since I know from personal experience how confusing, exiting and those years were?
That a No from Esquilax I assume.

Actually, it kinda is: I was a pretty well behaved kid, all's told. But your question does lead to another question: do pranks for you always entail the forcible manhandling and molestation of strangers?

Your insistence that these are just pranks is merely a repeated assertion that fails as a response because it doesn't address the concerns we're all having; you say that these are pranks. We disagree. Continuing to call them pranks, from my point of view, is simply you continuing to do the problematic thing that caused me to speak up in the first place, namely downplaying the severity of what's going on.

Yet you have made very clear that you don't want to treat them as kids.

Yes. When you commit an adult crime, you have left the area of social niceties where you can be treated with kid gloves.

Oh, and also? Just so we're clear: this is not just kids. There is porn of this shit.

Different people mature at a different rhythm so assuming that a certain age every person should be treated was an adult an therefor that goes for anyone is silly. So imparting a fair justice to all teens is impossible but apparently being more understanding and tolerable with them is a sin around here.

"Your honor, I should be tried as though I were a teenager!"

"But you're forty years old!"

"Yes, but I'm young at heart!"

At what point do you stop, with reasoning like that? And why?
