I'm not going to split hairs with you. I don't want to make you upset while your hanging out at the middle school.
It falls in the category of statutory rape. Even in countries with a lowered age of consent it is still frowned upon. The connotation of pedophilia is descripitive of children below the age of consent aside from the actual definition. But I'm sure Noah Webster would be proud that you are protecting his dictionary.
You must have had quite a busy day at UF yesterday lecturing everyone about the definitions of "racism", "nationalism", "free speech" "nazi" etc. Tell all your friends at Kannapaha Middle that i said Hi!

I see where you are coming from Threat, I really do with the proper definition of words. And I like you as a poster. Unfortunately, I don't have as much sympathy as you do for people who rape or take advantage of children.No need for personal attacks rev.
Glad you brought up a few of those terms because that is my point. Words like "racist" and "sexist" are thrown around so much that they have lost their meaning. I'm all for calling something what it is when it is what it is. But when you over use words they become meaningless. Pedophilia has an exact meaning and it isn't sex with a minor or below the age of consent. Pedophilia is an attraction to prepubescent children. That is worlds different than propositioning someone that is sexually mature but under the local jurisdiction's age of consent. Call a spade a spade but when it ain't a spade use the right term so as not to lose the impact of the term that you are misusing.
If you called a duck a tiger, and someone corrected you, would that annoy you?I personally dont care about Chris Leak I just take personal offense when people try to police my speech. If i want to call him a pedophile, I'll call him a pedophile.
Who, in their right mind, would set up a training room or office so that 10th graders could give massages to naked coaches with only towels on as a regular part of them learning to be a full-fledged athletic trainer? How does this happen in a Public School System?
Not excusing Leaks actions in any way. He just basically ruined his life.

The good news is that since I only play a doctor on TV, my diagnosis of Chris Leak as a pedophile is not binding. He is free to not be attracted to prepubescent children (pedophile) and still molest teenagers all he wants (pedophile)!
You cant convince me that a 30yo isn't taking advantage of a "sexually mature" 15yo due to differences in maturity and cognitive development, but you are in good company with men such as Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, and Luc Besson

Of course not. But I have heard an Ox called many a terrible thing.If you called a duck a tiger, and someone corrected you, would that annoy you?
