I've seen a lot of things go south in Pete Rose argument threads, but never someone who wants to debate whether a 30-something year old man should be able to have sex with a 14-16 year old because they said "yes."

The fact someone wants to debate this in a Pete Rose discussion and doesn't realize it doesn't need debating because it's creepy and disgusting is just as f'n weird.

Nice try asshole, but first of all I said nothing about "should". I don't advise others on how to live their lives. I'm actually too selfishly living my own to bother.

Secondly lumping 14-16 year olds together is fundamentally dishonest since I see that the age of consent in 34 American states is sixteen. So there's a very big legal difference between a fourteen year old and a sixteen year old. And that is an all-important difference.

"Wants"? Check the thread. I wasn't the one who introduced the topic. But willing to debate I always am even if jerks like you want to bring it down to an exchange of slurs. I won't be cowed from a rational assessment of this or any other subject.

Excuse me? Someone was arguing that Pete Rose shouldn't be in the Baseball Hall of Fame because of his relationship with a teenage girl. That statement demanded a response on several levels, e.g. the lack of proof that said girl was underage according to State law plus the fact that it's the Baseball Hall of Fame and not some Pantheon of Saints to which we're discussing admission.

And I really don't give a damn of how politically incorrect or offensive to some my responding happens to be. Screw that. Like I say, I'm tough minded enough to put up with the blowback from the small minded and name calling from the likes of you. I'll just say that I wish you only the worst.
