It's a wonder this hasn't been called into attention before. He's obviously too critical in these fields to just "kill" (figuratively speaking). |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 48926558 United States 09/14/2019 05:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.thedailybeast.com (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77741255 Stallman was apparently also quite open about his ideas not only on age of consent laws, but also pedophilia. In 2006, he wrote, “I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing.” The law does not allow for “voluntary” pedophilia. In 2006, he said it wouldn’t so bad for an adult man who worked for the Department of Homeland Security to have sex with a 14-year-old, as one government employee had allegedly propositioned: “Supposing she had voluntarily had sex with him, presuming that they used a condom and suitable contraception, it would have done no harm to either of them.” He reiterated his point in 2013: “There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.” Wow. Stallman was always off IMHO but this is reason to lock him up. He was a GNU/Linux guru from the beginning back at Berkley. I don't believe he actually ever created anything but takes a lot of credit for the whole Linux Free Open Software concept. Whack job! |

I know everyone uses LLVM now. But until then, GCC was everything (outside of MSVC). A Reddit user said, he's been "hagiophied" A hagiography is a biography of a Christian saint, generally with the purpose of telling how good and holy that saint is, without particular concern for historical accuracy. So “hagiophied” is a kind of back-formation meaning “made into a saint through the telling of stories, possibly without too much concern for accuracy”. See: “Hackers”, by Stephen Levy, for example.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78004076 United States 09/14/2019 06:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How can this guy, with his supposed pedigree, not understand the simple laws of power dynamics in the determination of will and desire? The reason why the legal age of consent exists is the fact that immature humans are easily manipulated to believe anything (and believe it was their own idea) and age is inextricably linked to experience which is a good way to gauge relative willpower. The difference in conscious understanding and willpower between even a 21 year old male and a 14 year old female is so great that in order to craft laws with any ability to judge righteously more often then not when applied across a sea of peoples we have to err on the side of caution. It is too time intensive and monetarily expensive to judge perfectly all interpersonal power dynamics on a case by case basis so the general rule must one easily and plainly applied no matter the context; this is entirely for the reason to protect the most innocents from harm as possible. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77997578 Pakistan 09/14/2019 06:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just because immature humans are easily manipulated, does not imply that that is an unavoidable occurrence.The argument here, which evidently Mexico (with its federal age of consent still 12, apparently[1]), is that it is possible for there to be a situation where a young person can voluntarily participate in a hug, or a kiss, or whatever else. As for the informed-ness of consent, I would guess he has similar philosophical views on this as Amos Yee: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] [1] [link to www.quora.com (secure)] |

So you don't deny such consent is possible in principle, just that it's impractical from a regulative standpoint. I agree. |

Their apologist protectors and enablers should be horse whipped. If a State is not willing to protect the children then they do not deserve to exist. |
