Discussion About Pedophilia and Sex With Children

Just as in all relations between human beings, sex between adults and children has its pleasant and unpleasant sides. But many of the unpleasant sides exist only in the imagination and have no basic in reality. Most objections against such relations are artificial and hypocritical, establish ethical norms which will not be fulfilled by nearly any other human interaction. It seems, only the absence of open discussion in the classical media allows to consider them as having some argumentative power.

Incorrect questions

Incorrect questions are another interesting point of many discussions. The point of an incorrect question is that any direct answer is incorrect too. The only correct way is to point out that it is an incorrect question. Often a short comparison allows to make this point. It is useful to collect standard answers for standard incorrect questions:

Comparisons

Comparisons are an interesting type of discussion. Human thinking is often inconsistent, and the consideration of analogical situations in other domains often shows this inconsistency. It allows to detect errors in "logical conclusions", "rational rules" and other statements: A correct statement remains correct if we replace the objects by the analogical objects of the comparison.

Every comparison has bounds. Without considering these bounds, the previous "replacement procedure" may lead to incorrect conclusions. It is often very interesting to detect how far a comparison goes and to find the correct analogon. Enjoy:
