Mercy! Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 If the 16-year old were a female, this thread would already have 900 views, y’all would be shouting for pictures, and most posters would be high-fiving the old fart. Not that you have to be consistent, though. I just wanted to point out the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I agree that Mercy is getting piled on here. In general there is a double standard about teen sexual activity for men and women, and his comments were based on that modern day reality. Also, the comment is less inflammatory to me at least because in this story the kid is not 10 or 12, he is 16. Even back in the caveman days when a lot of us were growing up ( ), it was not strikingly unusual for 16 year olds to be sexually active or on the cusp of sexual activity. Don't get me wrong. The 87 year old guy and the 16 year old is really really vile. But there has to be at least some level of consent on the part of the kid who is almost an adult. That would clearly not be the case if the boy were younger. OK, back to poster bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the years I've been here, we've been pretty consistent in disgust towards child abuse. Now if the girl was 21, then a high five would be in order for her getting an old man that excited. No need for pictures. And it isn't that we universally are against same gender sex. I believe most were positive about the Carolina cheerleaders in the restroom.

Kid Gleason Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Fish? Anyways. I think high fives would be going around if it was an 80 year old of either sex getting a 21 year old of either sex. It gives us all a little hope in our twilight years by being still "active". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
