My argument is that people in general, and us specifically need to stop wanting blood so badly that we ignore reality. There is nothing but evil in that mentality.

Categorizing a crime as one thing, when it is obviously something else is a crime in itself and must be avoided at all costs.

That is my argument. I am not talking about changing any laws. I honestly don't know how I feel about the age of consent. The line has to be drawn somewhere I guess, though I really think it should be more case by case than a specific age in an ideal world.

I have known many 18 year olds who were too naïve and gullible to be interacting in that way with older people (or anyone really). I have known many younger teenagers that were more than mature enough to make their own decisions about that. But really, that's a much more nuanced and difficult conversation and really has nothing to do with what I am talking about.

I am talking about looking at situations with reason, instead of hate.

No sound decisions are made with hate. Stringing someone up for a crime they didn't commit because it looks somewhat similar (in some minds) to a different, worse crime is the worst possible way a society can conduct itself. That is not justice, but vengeance, and its worse than that because its vengeance for a crime that was not even committed by that person, but by someone else.
