“Coolness and popularity come before anything else in middle school. Since SEX IS COOL, it comes before anything else.”

I gotta tell you, brandisnapnz, that it doesn’t seem to stop being the case long after middle school and often times I bet, after middle life.  American society is especially adept at embracing shallow values.
Forget the speed of light - fashion and trends travel faster. 

Sex, on the other hand, at least has an excuse: it’s glandular and intrinsically self-pleasing and a great way to show someone they rock.

its not bad. if you find experienced woman then you will enjoy your life. and you will enjoy your life its not crazy step its a good step for any young boy. if i will find such a nice and aged woman then i will take a step to marry her so happily.

hi live in scarborough and where i come from people call kids like him a nonse

i see nothin wrong with this if they love each other thatn they love each other let the couple be you cant come between love so anyone who was against our oppinion is just jealous so there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I’m real jealous. Wow, the level of discourse on this thread just keeps dropping like a boat anchor. I’m surprised some of these people have enough brains to remember to breath.

I think that they are dum. who parents in the rigth mind would let there kid marry a 42 year old women i dont care if they state allowed it i would not let my son marry someone that old.

There has to be some sort of motive whether it’s publicity, she’s paying his parents, or the boy’s parents are using the woman for money...something’s being done that’s not exactly right.......and if they are in love and everything they should be in a psychiatric ward!

Hey,i find nothing wrong with it, some people are much deeper in heart and soal, and these people are prolly soal mates. They arnt worried about what type of music the other person likes or how old the person is, they look on the inside and thats all that counts. If it was WRONG to marry someone older or younger then you, then it would be in the bible. But if they are just married for sex and stuff then yes it is wrong, but if your in love then you wouldnt be fucking, you would be trying to be as close to the person as you can, and making love to that person is the most beautiful thing. I’m 17 years old and my bf is 55, hes blind and hes not good looking at all, but to me, wow! Hes the most adorable man on this earth, and i love him very much, so i just hope you 2 the best. God Bless you.

Hey Jennifer.. aint that illegal for you to be having sex with a 55 year old man when your only 17?

Its sick. im 14 and i do not find 42 year old guys attractive. im in love with my best frind thats why (she is girl and so am i). there is nothing wrong with gay marriges, if your in love, your in lvoe. But 14 and 42 thats disgusting i mean when hes bad does she spank him? ewww

Hey Jennifer, you’re on drugs or something. Get off this wicked page you freak.

If it was WRONG to marry someone older or younger then you, then it would be in the bible.

Of course, everyone knows that!

Excuse me while my head implodes and I walk away, a sultana-headed person.

“If it was WRONG to marry someone older or younger then you, then it would be in the bible.”

Good lord, the integrity of this topic continues to fall. 

Ok, bottom line is the woman is a pedophile.  I dont care if they are “soul mates” or “In love”.  I find it hard to believe that a 14 year old boy would be mature enough mentally to fully understand the concept of love or what it truly feels like to be in love.  Hell, im 17 and I dont know yet.  14 year old boys are horney as hell, even if they fully dont understand the full parameters of sex.

When I was 14, I was looking at porn and such and exploring my own personal sexuality.  Everyone does.  I think the boy was in it for the sex and the woman has a sick attraction to small children and managed to avoid a jail sentence by convincing stupid parents they were in love. 

My question is...how dumb exactly were the parents?  I mean, I have would have moral conflicts if I asked out a freshman, and were only 3 years apart.  A few years makes a monumental age diffrence. 

If they were indeed in love, the woman would have been willing to wait 4 years for him to be eighteen.  But no, she practically assulted a small child rather than wait, thats not love, thats sickening lust.

this is abosolutly absurd, an act that could be termed as a phsycological derailment.it has never been heard nor happened ( i strongly believe that) and if it has, then it is aboslutly out of the “plane earth”. are his parents aware?? not at all i guess. this is completly out of the phenomenon” its a free world, all human should be liberal in there actions” this just abnormal!!!!!!!!!

his parents, the 42 year old wife, should all be arrested damn!!!! child MOLESTATION,and child ABUSE should be the charge. what a sick world!!! SOMBODY RESCUE THIS CHILD PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By what standard are you folks calling this wrong? I mean, only a few hundred years ago, 13 was a perfectly acceptable marriage age.

Just this weekend I was (half-seriously) proposing returning to that concept: It’d pretty much end the worry some folks have over pre-marital sex, and it seems that arranged marriages worked out more often than letting folks make their own choice like we do today.

But if you are going to allow unions between homosexuals, why not a 14 and a 42 year old? What is the standard or moral you’re basing your disgusted outrage on?

well we are talking about Alabama here.
The same state where just 79 years ago we had the Scopes Trial, the same State where even today in the same county as the scopes trial have just made it “Illegal” to be Gay.
Ignorance breeds ignorance.

I agree with David in that just 100 years ago, not several hundred it was perfectly acceptable to be married between 13-16.
Biologically you are in fact ready to mate as early as 14, so I personally don’t see anything overtly disgusting, its none of MY business whatsoever, actually I would say this 14 year old well get a good education from it in more ways that one.

Nunya, the Scopes Monkey Trial was in Tennesse.

David-Nunya:
Perhaps marriage at 14 was commonplace 100 years ago buy it wasn’t usually 14-16 year olds marrying. It was young women often being married to older men. Remember, women didn’t get the vote until 1920 and didn’t have much power. Read your history. These marriages were often HELL! This is why laws were enacted - to protect women from terrible marriages with rigid gender roles and little or no ability to work, own property, get an education, get divorced and retain custody of their children, etc. Most often the marriages were young girls marrying older men - not some other romantic notion. Sometimes they were both young - often in order to cement property/inheritance. Not always, though. Sometimes it was just plain old poor folks marrying to get out of their crowded homes and take the burden of feeding them off their parents. Let’s not look back on this time “fondly” as if they were the “good old days.” It was duty and burden, not love and romance, for most people. For heaven’s sakes people - what planet are you on? This is child abuse. This is a 14 year old child! Yikes! Change the law and get these people some psychiastric help!

This is just too sickening for words.....if this woman were a man and the kid was a 14-year-old girl, they’d call him a pedophile!!!  14 year olds barely even know what to do with boyfriends and girlfriends, let alone spouses!!  If this kid and his parents are too dumb to figure out that this woman is either clearly taking advantage of them (think about it, why the hell would a woman in her 40’s seriously want to marry a child?)or that she is so desperate that she cannot find anyone her own age, I’d say that they all deserve each other.  To top it all off, I her kid is her “husband’s” BEST FRIEND!!!!!  How disturbing is that?

Ugh, David, really.  Do you remember when YOU were 13?  Maybe you were 13 a “few centuries” ago, I don’t know.  But in my little world, 13 = child.  If you think that arranged marriages at an early age will curtail ‘pre-marital’ sex, well, yeah, you’re right. Because at that age, all other sex is going to be extra-marital.  Nice semantic difference. And if our fundie Islamic friends have anything to show us, it’s that girls are the ones who bear the brunt for this kind of thinking. But girls aren’t supposed to even LIKE sex, right?
As for comparing consenting gay adults with pedophiliac 40 year olds… Really, how many times do you have to hear that argument?  Your post just strikes me as morally dishonest on too many levels to count.  Fer shame, already.

You’re right, was tired as hell last night glazed right on by Alabama don’t = Tennessee, even though I listed the site and article that clearly states the state & county DOH.

Alabanesse I guess I was thinking.

Dayton TN IS a straight shot north of Alabama, tho.  Roughly 40 miles.

Check your history, ohmygoodness. Most arranged marraiges were between people of roughly the same age. Anyway, I was refering to hebrew custom. Who are you to decide whether they were happy or oppressed? I think your view that happiness comes from personal freedom would have not gone over well with the people of that time. It doesn’t even fly all that well with everyone of this time. It has been awhile since I was 13, it’s true, and one thing I have learned is that obediance and trust produce a lot more happiness in my life than personal freedoms.

Also, in the day we are talking about, 13 was a man (or woman), not a child. If anything, we have done ourselves a disservice in allowing people to think of themselves as children into their 30s.

Also your point about the semantics of pre-marital vs. child molestation is an excellent one. Generally speaking, the references in the Bible to the evils of pre-marital sex are about child abuse. There are only one or two of references that could be interpreted as strictly pre-marital.

Now, remember, I said I was only half serious. But there is some validity to the idea. But you still have side stepped my question: What idea of right and wrong are you basing your disgust on?
