I was hoping to show how posting has changed at BoyChat over the years, and how there are very few people posting these days. So I was going to suggest that, for fun, peeps could try altering the URL in their browser to view posts from the past and see the difference. But when I did so (by altering the "1620359" from a current post to "1220359" and then poking around a bit), I stumbled on the following post, which discusses a topic that is ("déjà vu" much?) currently being discussed further down on the board -- about BoyLovers "rights": https://www.boychat.org/messages/1620304.htm ... and notice how no-one in that thread even bothers to define their terms, so they are talking at cross-purposes. Anyway, here's a thread from almost 14 years ago: Posted by Bridgebuilder on 2010-August-28 22:09:47, Saturday Although it does not always work out in practice, in theory older males who are emotionally and sexually attracted to boys have the legal "right" to live their lives without interference so long as they do not break the laws where they reside concerning sexual contact with boys, as well as the laws concerning erotic images of boys. This is the way things currently are, whether or not any given individual feels such laws are reasonable and proper. But, assuming that these societal restrictions are artificial and intrinsically "wrong," should "natural" (as opposed to man-made) law be seen as allowing these older males to solicit, recruit, encourage, or otherwise attempt to persuade boys to participate in sexual activities? Or, under "natural" law, do boys themselves have the intrinsic, sole, and exclusive right to choose how and with whom to explore, experiment, and enjoy their own sexuality, with older males becoming involved only at a boy's specific behest? Respectfully submitted for civil discussion. ------------- Take a look at the responses to the above post, and see what I mean... Anyway, try changing the URL again, at random. Sometimes you find pearls, and sometimes just putrid oyster flesh... And you wonder where those earlier posters went, and where they may be now. And you wish that many of them would come back.. M. Do 'pedophiles' have any 'rights' concerning boys? https://www.boychat.org/messages/1221032.htm |
