The law is NOT the “only thing holding us back from killing each other”. There isn’t some crowd of killers ready to go, but oh shucks they just respect the law way too much. What a ridiculous notion. If the law prevented us from killing each other then nobody would ever kill anyone.
Dude the devil doesn’t need an advocate and you’re making everyone here uncomfortable by being so damn obtuse, and to what end? Does this give you dopamine or something because there are far better ways to get that.
Pedophiles won’t be attracted to 14 year olds. Pedophiles are only sexually attracted to kids before they reach puberty. Most 12 year olds are safe from pedophiles for biological reasons.
It’s not the pedophiles you have to guard your adolescents against – it’s sexual predators. And you cannot just assume someone is safe only because they turned 18 and lost all legal protection.
So, are 17 year olds adults?
Biological speaking, yes, and for a couple of years already.
Culturally speaking, no, and they’ve got a couple of years to go before they become adults – there was a reason why comming of age used to be at 21, not 18.
They are in between biological adulthood and cultural adulthood.
There is a term for this stage of life: adolescence.
17 year olds are neither children nor adults. They are adolescents, adults in training.

If a 17 wants to fuck an infant they’re a goddamn pedophile.
Jesus Fucking Christ, take off your fedora.
