I made the same point I made here -- that some of them choose it whether they are able to legally make that choice or not due to competency considerations that consent of that kind are limited by.

As a father and grandfather, I'm as appalled by and against the idea and practice of child prostitution as any do-gooder here, and a supporter of the age consent restraints the competency thing places on children and the adults that would take advantage of them.

All you're repeating here is either a grossly inept or dishonest deconstruction of what I wrote that another posted, where meaning was found by them or completely made up where none existed or was intended -- just as the poster I responded to here fell victim to.

I was arguing for legal prostitution for adults, and will again should the desire arise.

OK so you're talking about American child labor laws being bad because children can't work gollygee Sep 2014 #162
