You say there is no seeing eye to eye on this...the simple fact is I already stated I would NOT fuck a 16 year old.
What once again you are not getting is you coming off with this half cocked attitude about what you think is going on in other people's minds.
As has been pointed out on this thread and what you can't quite grasp is that:
1. 16 is legal in some places.
2. History has shown older men marrying females younger than 16, and this concept of protecting them now is roughly about 100 years old.
3. People mature at different ages.
4. The ages of webmasters answering this poll range from 18+ so you can't just assume they are all "dirty old men."
5. You apparently wish to push your values on others.
What it boils down to "IF 16 IS LEGAL WHERE YOU RESIDE" is a moral issue...and sorry but that is not for you to decide.
If it were then it would be for others to decide what I can watch on t.v., listen to on the radio, or view on the internet.

First of all - the concept is 100 years old because people started living longer. The average life span of a woman used to be 40 years old - and child birth was the highest cause of death. Times have changed - come into the 21rst century.
Second of all - as far as pushing my values and it being for me to decide - it's called stating my opinion on a public board, which I did. On a subject I have strong opinions on. Your comment on this is ludicrous - as what I am doing is no different than what you are doing.
That's right, it is a moral issue. And I've stated my views on the morality of it. As far as 'dirty old men' go, as far as I'm concerned, if you are 21 or older and looking to fuck 16 year olds, you are a fucked up loser.
Your last 'example' is silly. One is you reading, watching, or listening. The other is you doing something with another person - in this case, a 16 year old. Total apples and oranges, and completely disrelated. I have only two keywords when it comes to what adults (note the keyword there 'Adults') do: adult, and consent. And both have to be present. As long as what is happening involves consenting adults, I don't care what you do.
The moment either of those two words drops out of the equation, then that is where Society steps in, correctly.
Lastly, when I give a shit about 'phasing you', I'll let you know. I was making a point, the point was made, and my reply remains 'my point exactly.'
