Second, I get there are some gray areas. But 14 doesn't seem to be one. And if your using the whole "16 is kind of sort of legal in some states" just stop. As adam and yacht have already stated, that's just....gross and weird. Throw the whole legal argument out the window (along with my newly discovered inability to condemn people to hell) and how about we agree that such an age preference for your dating life is disgusting. On top of that, my point was that every interview I've heard from him or his surrogates have used that "permission" defense over and over again. Seems weak.
So, he deserves this.........unless the girl was considered of legal age in the state she lived in, in which case it was OK? Or do you appoint yourself judge jury and executioner to determine what is acceptable? I understand the outrage in cases where a person who is clearly a child is involved, but the bottom line is, the law determines when that is, and since those laws vary depending on where you are, I tend to question looking at it in such black and white terms. If you break the law, you should pay the penalty the law imposes, but condemning men to hell is for God to decide. As far as the number of years difference in age is concerned, to say that having a relationship with a girl who is young, but is of legal age, is wrong for one man and not another based on how old they are, has no real moral basis. It is basically a matter of cultural acceptance.First, thanks for clarifying that I can't condemn a man to hell. Totally didn't know that. I guess my weekend plans are now blown to bits.
