Dear whitetrshsoldier, In reply to your post of 6/15/10 (#48): (quote not shown) It sounds like you haven't read my posts very carefully; I've already conceded that point 3 times. What this jumble seems to decoct to is this: Let's say that the 12-year-old girl, having copulated with the 30-year-old ...

Dear Scott, In reply to your post of 6/15/10 (#46): (quote not shown) Between "it could be" and "it could not be", that doesn't get us very far. How about pointing out any empirical error that you see? (quote not shown) I'm not sure I understand that sentence. The error I see --a...

Dear Scott, In reply to your post of 6/12/10 (#38): (quote not shown) Sorry. (quote not shown) It's not really an either/or matter. If by consensual you mean did the girl say "yes", the answer is obvious: it was consensual. On the other hand, if by consensual you are talking about the lega...

Dear Scott, In reply to your post of 6/12/10 (#36): (quote not shown) Is a dog incompetent to decide? For instance, we can assume that a person putting a plate of food in front of a hungry dog has consented in his own mind to feed it. It is then up to the dog's decision, rather than consent, as to w...

Dear Scott, With further rumination on this matter it has struck me that your objections are artificial and we need to return to a practical approach to the controversy. I propose that we discard the idea of competence of consent and simply feed the dog what it want/needs as is customarily done. If ...

Dear Abacab, In reply to your post of 6/9/10 (#9): Since this thread holds some interest for you, let me try this out for your take on it: Force-feeding, as the term itself indicates, necessarily involves force. That distinction is borne out by any dictionary. Feeding a normal, healthy dog does not ...

Dear Scott, In reply to your post of 6/9/10 (#27): Jackowens wrote: A. Feeding a hungry dog, and B. Feeding (force-feeding) a dog that has eaten all that it wants --and needs-- and struggles to avoid the ingestion of more food. (quote not shown) But no force is used in A. If I claim that A does not ...

Dear Scott: In reply to your post of 6/8/10 (#24): (quote not shown) Yes, I would too. But you seem to be making the same distinction I am between two actions on your and my parts. In other words ostensibly we're in agreement. The actions are: A. Feeding a hungry dog, and B. Feeding (force-feeding) ...

Dear Scott, In reply to your post of 6/8/10 (#22): Scott wrote: When a competent adult has sex with or gives food to an incompetent being it is rape (i.e. non-consensual sex) or force-feeding (non-consensual ingesting) respectively regardless of how desiring or seemingly willing the incompetent bein...

Dear Scott, In reply to your post of 6/7/10 (#17): (quote not shown) That's a start. (quote not shown) But that does not show an empirical error on my part. All you're doing is what you've been doing repeatedly: giving me your belief with nothing to support it in the sense of showing me that my disa...

Dear Scott, In reply to your post of 6/7/10 (#15): (quote not shown) I see that and pretty much all of what follows as little more, but in slightly different words, than what you've already posted. Where does that leave us? Apparently with the implication that I have a mistaken belief, that I'm guil...

Dear Friends, To Scott: Now that Wonder has posted, I can post the reply to your post of 65/10 (#9) on this thread where it belongs instead of on the "Same Sex Marriage" thread. (quote not shown) According to my Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary , "force-feed" is "to feed ...
