Defending the Truth

That's slippery slope; it doesn't work that way. I could easily just say to you, "So you want to ban teenagers from having sex, what's next? Kissing? Then touching? Looking in certain places? Soon enough we're going to have to make our kids wear burkas!"

Obviously I think the line should be drawn at fourteen. Anything younger than that will probably harm the child emotionally.

You don't think it works that way? I disagree. I have reason to believe it does work that way. Here:

CNSNews.com) - A Dutch political party that failed to qualify to participate in the country's general election Wednesday has blamed harassment from "far right" elements that took issue with its pro-pedophilia platform.

The PNVD was forced to end its campaign recently after it was unable to obtain the signatures required for it to contest the election.

Although the party only needed 570 signatures - 30 from each of the Netherlands' 19 regions - and had failed to reach even that modest target, a conservative family organization in the U.S. warned that the episode should be taken seriously despite the fringe nature of the group.

"I think we should take it as warning here in America," said Janice Crouse, senior fellow at Concerned Women for America.

"Certainly this is coming here and there are people already in America who want to say that children enjoy sex and that children ought to be taught sex by adults," she said.

PNVD party secretary Norbert de Jonge told Cybercast News Service in a telephone interview that people who wanted to sign in support of the party's candidacy had been threatened and intimidated.

Pedophile Party Blames 'Far Right' for Campaign Collapse -- 11/22/2006

Yes, and there's a Nazi party too...and in America, but I doubt their policies will be implemented.

Actually, your article would be proof of how it DOES NOT work that way.
The group FAILED to move back the age of consent to a younger age.
The "slope" was non-existent and society didn't "slide" down it any further.

So... When are you moving to Canada, FoundIt?

I would suppose someone said those exact same words when the age of consent was lowered the last time.

That was a mind-bogglingly stupid response.
I think you STILL don't comprehend that you attempted to prove a "slippery slope" by pointing to an example of the "slope" failing...

It's like trying to prove that A causes B, by pointing to an example when A occurred but B did not.

Now I'm as confused as you are.

Let's start simply...
One question at a time.

Do you get the fact that the example you posted DOES NOT prove your point regarding "slippery slope"?

No. I stand by my statement. Considering that the age has been lowered, considering the fact that there are people in the Netherlands who want no age limit, I will stand by it.
