@sickburnbro

has anyone asked the kid if he liked it?

@sickburnbro @perfect_brains Yeah that's been covered before. Especially in the case of a 5th grader (!!) this is a serious mind-f@ck when an old woman does this kind of thing.
@perfect_brains @EvilSandmich Is there any such thing as inappropriate sexual conduct?

@sickburnbro @EvilSandmich

who came up with the word inappropriate?
what real value does it have?

@perfect_brains @EvilSandmich It's simple, it's a word to define what is tolerated and what is not.

You either believe there should be a limit to what can be tolerated, or you believe there should be no limits on it.

@sickburnbro @EvilSandmich

"You either believe there should be a limit to what can be tolerated, or you believe there should be no limits on it."

how do you come up with these absurd maxims?

@perfect_brains @EvilSandmich this isn't complex, it's pretty basic philosophy. I hope you understand trying to argue against how law works is just going to make you into a clown.

Murder versus manslaughter versus self defense is a very clear cut example of this in practice.

@sickburnbro @EvilSandmich

oh, now you have elevated yourself to status of law

like newton's law of thermodyinamics?

@perfect_brains @EvilSandmich No, not at all like that. Laws of physics are actually just conventions.
perfect brains

@sickburnbro @EvilSandmich

and conventional regard rumors and old scare stories as law

@perfect_brains @EvilSandmich You don't understand at all. The physicals police aren't going to pull you over if you violate conversation of energy.

The use of a word to define something in science says vanishingly little about the use in governance.
