Split from Dating section.

[Ember]

Ok, to bring it back on topic.

The objection I have with there being a so-called dating section would be the legal liability that it opens to this website. Lets say some 16 year old kid joins the forum. Lets say his profile pic is shirtless and he has pictures of himself in his underwear in his profile. He flirts with random people here, so desperate for attention he is. He meets someone from the forum (which it appears he already has) and they engage in consensual intercourse.

Whoops, that's a felony. And guess what website helped facilitate it? Guess who's liable? So no, a dating section is not a good idea.

Pedophilia refers to children. Ephebophilia is the correct term.

Wrong, if your under 16, your still considered a child, youth if you will. So it would be rape of a child.

:\

Can you at least look stuff up before making yourself look stupid? Pedophilia refers to prepubescent children. Ephebophilia  is 15-19

And can your ego a little less inflated? =/
Anyway, Ive only heard the term Pedophilia being used in that term on the news and media. Guess people rather simplify it.

How the f**k do you enforce that law without breaking rights of privacy when it comes to teens having sex with each other? its like the law against pot, nobody enforces it unless it is solliciting or a bust and it so happens to be found.
also this is a DATING section post, not a F**KING section post.

First, minors have reduced rights. Secondly, there is no "right to privacy" in the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms.

being a Minor sucks.
don't start me.
Why should the government, or anybody else, tell me what i can and cannot do with myself and my body?
I don't understand why suicide is illegal -not that i want to do it- but if someone truly wants to die, why do people have to interfere?

[Lt ReiStark]

the laws against under age sex are to hard to enforce without busting into bedrooms at random hoping that you find two teens. let's face facts, that would never happen in Canada.

back to dating!

Minors by their very definition lack the life experience to make informed choices about many aspects of their own lives. They can't, for example, sign legal contracts because chances are fair they don't understand at all what it is that they are signing. This is what you have parents for, and the reason that parents have far reaching legal rights over you. Pretty much every sixteen year old thinks they are super smart and have everything figured out. They aren't, and they don't.

Suicide is not illegal in Canada, assisting suicide is. (Source: http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/showdoc/cs/C-46/bo-ga:l_VIII-gb:s_241//en#anchorbo-ga:l_VIII-gb:s_241 )

well... whatever, I don't care if i'm labeled as a "minor" I'm so sick of being told i'm just a kid.

It can, and does happen. Especially when the minor is approaching/being approached by people in a public space (say, a forum) and posts threads like this:  http://www.bcfurries.com/forum/index.php?topic=2634.0

If such a minor was to be doing stuff like that, it would be in his best interest to keep it quiet.
