I'd say Rebecca Solnit, a feminist and brilliant author, said it best concerning her being an adolescent in the Bay Area in the '70s.
“The dregs of the sexual revolution were what remained, and it was really sort of a counterrevolution (guys arguing that since sex was beautiful and everyone should have lots, everything goes and they could go at anyone; young women and girls with no way to say no and no one to help them stay out of harmful dudes’ way). The culture was sort of snickeringly approving of the pursuit of underage girls. It was completely normalized. Like child marriage in some times and places. Which doesn’t make it OK, but means that, unlike a man engaged in the pursuit of a minor today, there was virtually no discourse about why this might be wrong.”
It was a different time. It would be looked on entirely differently today.

Metallica made 2 records a while ago, called LOAD and RELOAD. Did you like them?
You want to explain that? I know Metallica had nothing to do with this topic. Is that a veiled threat of some sort???
I strongly suggest you explain that or I may need to get a second opinion.

Are you Tomi Lahren? Kind of sounds like it.
You're beyond assumptive. In a plethora of ways.
How much Tomi Lahren do you watch to make an "assumptive" comment like that? Doesn't she have a political show? We're not gonna go there.
No, her show is just ignorant baseless opinion.
So now you get why I said what I said.
Kinda like what you say.... I can do this all day GasLighter.

It says a lot about the people here who are looking for any reason to say molesting a child is ok.
The trend by these monsters seems to be "what is the lowest possible age I can @#$%& and get away with it."
You people expose yourself. Frankly, I am naively shocked at how many child molesters or wanna-be-child-molesters are on this site.
Please...keep exposing your ideology here...let the world know you support child molestation.
BV...5 pages deep...thank you for answering the questions. Debating politics is in bad taste but defending child molestation gets the stamp of approval on IORR.
You people are disgusting monsters.

A veiled threat, eh?
That explains a lot.
It also explains a lot that you read something and didn't get it.
Well, that's done then.

No obviously I didn't. I'm specifically asking about LOAD UNLOAD, Im taking that as a veiled threat of gun violence by you and if it's not then say what the reference is to or I need a federal agency to explain what you meant by that. Am I clear now???

There was this daughter of songwriter John Philips, Mackenzie Philips, rumours there too, no one evolved in these rumours has ever been forced into sex with Mick, that's not in question, it's just that he does seem to like them young and that can be a problem for people and understandably so.

Let us continue this case a bit further. If we assume that both women - Mackenzie Philips and Rae Dawn Chong - are here saying the truth, then we do not know which case is an anomaly - that of him following typically the law or not - but what we do know is that Mick Jagger was awere of the illegality of having sex with underage. So morally speaking, we shouldn't give him a free pass, despite how common it was at the time in those circles and when seemingly 'no one cared' (o tempora o mores). Jagger, at least, seemed to care (or was awere of its legal consequences, no matter how unlikely those were). However, Mick could defend his misconduct by claiming that 'it never occured to me that she, such a hot thing and a woman all the way, could be underage - so I just made a terrible error in judging her age, and I was too stupid to confirm it by asking her I.D.', which propably could give him a certain moral free pass (at least to please his own conscience), but, of course, not in terms of law.

Can we please be more precise with our terminology. Pedophilia is attraction to PRE-PUBESCENT children.Quote

Given the current hysteria in this thread, allow me to state that in no way did I suggest gun violence against schillid by mentioning Three Dog Night. Please don't contact another country's law enforcement agency in the name of Jeremiah the Bullfrog.
My parents were born in 1940 and 1942, respectively. My Dad was 18 when he married my Mom who was 17. I think, according to the IORR standards, he may have been a pedophile. Oh the shame this brings to me and my family. Who knew? It's wrong now. It was wrong then. It was wrong when a First Century Jew like Mary was betrothed at age 12. Now that's a Godawful crime if I ever heard one.
I figured as much regarding your sarcasm, and I tend to agree with your assessment overall.Quote

keefriff, I know the definition of pedophile and why it's being used as weapon incorrectly here (and likely deliberately). That was one of the points of my sarcastic post.
I'm also the monster who offered up the high school cheerleader example.

Can we close this thread, folks ? It's all getting a tad National Enquirer-esque.

First off being that I am of Greek decent I certainly know and understand the meaning and definition of Pedophilia . Secondly I find it morally reprehensible . It is beyond disgusting that people cite ages of consent in various countries across the globe ! I am engaging in this topic and discussion and expressing myself the same as you and others are doing . So just because I disagree with some , as I do ,that I should take a hike ? Really ? Seriously ? You have got to be kidding me ?Quote

Hmm... So you are basically claiming that Mick Jagger is a pedophile (since aren't we here talking about Jagger's doings)? Probably you should check what that term means. And if you after that still believe so, you probably should rethink if this site a right place for you.

Why do you find that disgusting? Age of consent laws are the only concrete, objective guidelines that exist for governing this type of sexual behavior.Quote
