UK barrister wants age of consent lowered to 13 and victim anonymity removed:

I am gobsmacked at that. Totally gobsmacked.

lols @ the response to being confronted with the reality and (presumed) unintended consequences that one's chosen religion spawns.
Anyhoo, what does your subjectively arrived at morality think it should be and why ?
What/which benchmark should be used and why ?
Oh, and for the record, I'm neither gobsmacked nor supportive of the "want" expressed by that female barrister, especially considering there is also 'what is good for the goose is good for the gander' aspect never far behind.
I reckon we reap what we sow and the much of the world seems to be in a race for the bottom.
Woe on a generation who call evil good and good evil and all that ... and we see here that barrister trying to do that very thing by calling for a lowering of the bar so to speak so that something that is now rightfully (AFAI&YAC) a crime, ceases to be one ... a bit like the Macquarie dictionary chosing to redefining words at a time that proved useful for the ALP to weasel a linguistic escape from a cage they had put themselves in.
I reckon things are rapidly becoming just as the ancient texts promised would be the case prior to you-know-what and you-know-who and all that.
... and making like a gold-fish ain't going to change that.
How could you think that such things wouldn't happen once you took up subjective morality over objective morality ?
Who are you to say your subjectively arrived at morality is superior to the subjectively arrived morality of that female barrister calling for it to be made legal for the youngest possible teen to get jiggy with somebody old enough to be their grand-father ?
What is your benchmark and why should anyone else, let alone everyone else in the world, deem it to be valid and correct, wynter ?
... and while you're not answering that, how are you going with coming up with a logically coherent explanation to that other problem or twin horned dilemma you created for yourself years back re: species and required numbers of breeding pairs and all that ?
Here's something to listen to while you meditate on that.

Psst derspatz., I dont care what you say, god still doesn't exist.
The debate around the age of consent has been going for centuries
... in the England and Australia it was originally based around the average age of puberty and menstruation.
I have no idea what you are trying to say.

I was just thinking the same thing. He's building up a nice little stash of things and people to address in his biannual apology next time his girlfriend starts grating his pills into his weeties again.
Maybe I could help him out with a cut and paste of one of his apologies, actually I think from memory one names me in the sorry list.
I find reading some of his posts - like those above - quite good. I don't like the political or the religious rants much but those posts are quite entertaining and well written.
Try it, you may be pleasantly surprised
Really.
