same reasons that the U.S. allows lots of odious groups to exist, like various Neo-Nazi groups: Freedom of speech and freedom of association. Legally speaking these groups like NAMBLA can put forward and advocate their hideous ideas all they want, but if the group or members actually act on these ideas and do something illegal the perpetrator can be held accountable.
first amendment. 23crossdressersAren't there limitations? Surely one can't form any association they want? Youbsayin someone could form an association devoted to eating babies and nothing could be done about it?
[QUOTE="23crossdressers"]first amendment. Capitan_KidAren't there limitations? Surely one can't form any association they want? Youbsayin someone could form an association devoted to eating babies and nothing could be done about it? Yes, they can form the association. They cannot, however, act on it. Actually, they can act on it, but they would be processed under the law of course.
[QUOTE="23crossdressers"]first amendment. Capitan_KidAren't there limitations? Surely one can't form any association they want? Youbsayin someone could form an association devoted to eating babies and nothing could be done about it?It's not illegal to be into or love children. It's illegal to act on it.
Where's a libertarian crying about the first amendment when we need one? Especially someone who thinks that parents have the right to kill their children.

First I've ever heard of it, if that happened in the UK they would be charged and convicted as sex offenders purely on the intent and high threat they pose to the public

Freedom of speech means tolerating even speech that we find repugnant.

Indeed!
Shouldn't a true libertarian loathe the concept of an "age of consent" law?!
Why should a libertarian "loathe the concept of an age of consent law"?actually i think it's great that they're allowed to exist no matter how much i dislike the idea that has gathered them together.

Why should a libertarian "loathe the concept of an age of consent law"?Because the Constitution doesn't stipulate an age of consent, and because imposition of an arbitrary age of consent chosen by the judicial system (as opposed to one chosen by the child's parents) could be construed as "authoritarian".
[QUOTE="worlock77"][QUOTE="Laihendi"]If there were limitations, then it would not be freedom of speech. The purpose of freedom of speech is to allow people to express controversial ideas. If only the uncontroversial was allowed then there would be not purpose of a rule saying that it was allowed, because no one would object to what was being said anyways. Speech and action are different things. Speech is the communication of an idea, whereas action is the physical implementation of an idea. Obviously members of NAMBLA should not be allowed to actually rape other people's children; that would be deplorable. No rational parent would consent to that.Laihendi
But what if the parent did consent to it? That should be legal right? Since the child is the parent's property.
Theoretically yes, but in reality that will never happen. Allowing your children to be raped contradicts any self-preservation instinct that even an irrational parent would have, the same instinct that lead them to producing children. For the rational man who has children for rational purposes rather than instinct, he would not allow his children to be raped because that would be irrational. So really it is a non-issue. Just like your previous emphatic assertion that parents never rape or abuse their own children?Parents do not rape children...Unfortunately, many do... Even if it does happen it has to be so rare that it is statistically negligible. It is some bizarre anomaly, and laws of nations should not be based on senseless exceptions to the laws of nature and objective reality. That would just legitimize and encourage the behaviour.[QUOTE="Laihendi"][QUOTE="PannicAtack"] Just like your previous emphatic assertion that parents never rape or abuse their own children?

Just like your previous emphatic assertion that parents never rape or abuse their own children? Parents do not rape children. That would be absurd as I have already explained why. People like the MSM and various political activists act like it is a possibility because they are fear-mongers who are trying to rally the public into supporting new laws that will further violate our individual rights by doing things such as granting the government broader surveillance powers.[QUOTE="Laihendi"][QUOTE="worlock77"]

You are being ignorant. Kuraimen please give me an example of a parent raping a child. I have never heard of anything like that happening.I linked you to an article about a case quite a while ago. You very flatly ignored it.
Are you familiar with To Kill a Mockingbird?

[QUOTE="PannicAtack"][QUOTE="Laihendi"] I have read it. How is that relevant?LaihendiYou recall how a major implication in the book was that Mayella was raped by her father? That is just fiction anyways, so it does not matter even if it was implied that Mayella was raped by her father.Moving away from your hilarious interpretation of To Kill a Mockingbird, let's back up for a second...
You say that this is irrelevant because it's a work of fiction. But a while ago when you are on a tear about how the poor are all lazy moochers, you drop a name, but the name is that of a fictional character from a book.
So... it's alright when you do it?

How can a person that mentions the world rational so many times be so irrational. Parents selling their kids for sex has happened, happens and will happen in the real world.
