What the hell is wrong with the world?

[Internet Kraken]

I really don't see the problem. It sounds like the two actually care for each other. I know a lot of people at that age are confused and can make stupid decisions, but it seems like the relationship between the two of them is legitimate. He isn't hurting or exploiting her, so why do you care so much? Let them be.

Erm... sleeping with 15 year olds is not paedophilia.

To clarify this point, it's ephebophilia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephebophilia], not to be confused with hebephilia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebephilia] and, indeed, paedophilia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia].

so why do you care so much?

I thought it was obvious. Because the OP is totally crushing on the 15 year old himself.

Which is just as 'wrong' since his profile says he was born in 1990 - making him 19 at the moment.

I'm with a 19 year old. I guess I'm part of whats wrong with the world.

 

[The DSM]

Whats wrong with our world?

Everything.

 

[dududf]

Just gonna throw out there, where I'm from 15 looks legal. not by the law but body and how they dress @w@



Also to answer the title directly, there is nothing wrong with this world, it changes how it feels. The inhabitants on the other hands is a different story :3

I find it weird how with an age difference of 5 years, it seems creepy and wrong when the ages are 15 and 20, but it's perfectly normal when the ages are like, 35 and 40.

So heres the scene. I know this 20 year old thats dating a 15 year old. I hate him. I want to strangle him and/or brutally beat him with a bat or other blunt object. However, it seems that i am the only person on the face of that seems to think that way. Everyone else thinks that her being underage and the 5 year age difference is perfectly acceptable. Furthermore, these people are this guy's friends, because, "He's a sweetie!" (direct quote from several people) Also, he's not a bad person because, "He's never done anything wrong to me, and how he lives his life is his business." (another direct quote)

And I just think...what the FUCK has come over people lately? If a rapist is the sweetest person in the world, do we let the fact that he's a rapist go? If someone brutally murders people, do we let it go just because thats how they live their life? If a someone is a known child molester, is he a good person so long as he's not molesting YOUR kids?

I know I might have taken things out of proportion a little bit, but sometimes thats really the only way to get people to listen. Has humanity really gotten selfish enough to say "Well so long as it has nothing to do with me, its not bad." Is a criminal no longer a criminal if they don't mess with you? Are we seriously letting people's personality forgive/excuse their actions WHILE they are doing them?

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention, even though i sorta did reference this earlier. The 20 year old is male, the 15 year old is female.

I dunno, personally the gap is too large and I wouldn't date a girl at 15 (I'm 21)
Buuut... is he a criminal? I mean, you seem to let your issues with him cloud your view : P

I know a girl at age 20 who is together with a guy who's 29 (They got together two years ago and is now engaged)
That's a 9 year gap and to both of them, it's perfectly fine : p

I realise though, you might have a problem with the "under age of consent"... buuuut, -if- they're both mature enough to take precautions and understand the consequences, what's the hassle?

 

[axia777]

I love how many people have apparently forgotten what they were like when they were fifteen.

I don't. And what does that matter anyways? She is 15. If she was 17 or 18 there would be no real issue. But 15? That is bullshit pure and simple.

Nothing wrong with age gaps. My parents are 10 years apart from each other.

Yah, as adults. It makes all the difference in the world.

 

[Kinguendo]

Erm... sleeping with 15 year olds is not paedophilia.

Ohhh... I would like you to quote the part of my post that made you think I "sypaphise" with paedophiles, because that is a pretty serious accusation and I really want to answer it.

Wow, you are all about misreading arent you.

No one said anything about sleeping with 15 year olds... I said he was dating a minor.

I said the guy who made out with a 13 year old is a peadophile.

Your entire "seeing the things I write as you are" thing that you keep on doing gives me the impression that you might be looking for any excuse to get a peadophile out of a harsh wrap... and you still havent acknowledged how you completely misread what I wrote... twice now.

 

[Julianking93]

That shit happens all the time.

I honestly don't know any teenage girls who go out with teenage boys. They all date men in their 20s.

What I don't get is how come its perfectly okay for that, but when I (a 16 year old boy) starts to date a 21 year old girl, people practically shit themselves. So what? She's older than me, get over it! Why does the man always have to be older?

 

[Skeleon]

Why do you compare him to a rapist and murderer?
He's 20, she's 15. The age gap is a bit wide for my personal taste at that age, okay (in later life, 5 years are nothing).
But she's above the age of consent so why is this supposedly wrong?

 

[Amnestic]

I love how many people have apparently forgotten what they were like when they were fifteen.

I don't. And what does that matter anyways? She is 15. If she was 17 or 18 there would be no real issue. But 15? That is bullshit pure and simple.

The arbitrary lines of age for sexual consent are bullshit.

Your 20 year old female friend is now a woman. She is no girl. That is the difference. And if anyone thinks they are mature enough for a serious relationship at 15 they are deluding themselves seriously. And obviously if a 20 year old male is dating a 15 year old girl he is no where near real maturity. No mature man would date a 15 year old girl. He would date a women his own age(or near it).

I love how many people have apparently forgotten what they were like when they were fifteen.

I don't. And what does that matter anyways? She is 15. If she was 17 or 18 there would be no real issue. But 15? That is bullshit pure and simple.

When and if you ever have a daughter you come back and tell me that. Or a son for that matter.

If the male was even 17 I would not have an issue with it at all. I would not want her having sex if she was my daughter, but dating a 17 year old if the is 15 is not a bad thing. But he is 20 man. 20. That is just fucked up.

 

[Symplify]

If a rapist is the sweetest person in the world, do we let the fact that he's a rapist go? If someone brutally murders people, do we let it go just because thats how they live their life?

OT: He's dating a 15 year old?
Well, it's not illegal as long as she's ok with it.
But people tend to only look at the surface of these kinds of things.
People suck sometimes...

If they are doing anything sexual (which I'm sure they are, a 20 year-old doesn't go for a 15 year-old because she's such a mature conversationalist), then it is very much illegal.

I find it incredibly wrong.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

How can people be so fucking selfish? Surely it can't be our DNA.

I really don't see what's going on here...where's the selfishness? Because, don't take this the wrong way please, but from what I can see here you're the only one being slightly selfish. Surely if she's your friend and she likes this guy, and he's not doing any harm, you should just try to tolerate him and be a good friend?

 

[Liberaliterr]

Its only one year off the legal sex age, and so what let them do what they want, its not your relationship

Oh excellent, you've played the parent card. I guess you win this argument. No wait, that's not how life works.

You have yet to really say why a 20 year old man dating a 15 year old is 'fucked up' beyond your own emotional driven response.

[HEADING=1]Young people have sex[/HEADING]

I know. Shock, surprise, horror. This girl is doing this of her own free will and that you would jump in to forcibly separate two people who seem to be happy together makes you come off as a very cruel and unreasonable person.

If their both fine with it then fine, it dosen't matter
