Apparently it's a tribute to her stylist, who died recently. Unfortunately, much as I'd love to be sympathetic, it's the most overblown and ridiculous thing I've ever heard... and, in true foreigners-speaking-English style, they don't seem to realise how inherently wrong it is to base the chorus of a pop song around the word "scissors".

Just make sure you erase the NAMBLA site from your IE history before inviting her round for a game of Counterstrike and some tea and crumpets.

Gracia - The Man With The Scissors (just to prove to Brock that she's managed some kind of career since coming last at Eurovision. ) Never before has the word "scissors" been sung with such passion.

He really does shout "Wasser!" for no apparent reason. I'll MSN you the song.

Well to be honest, who's NOT listening to that?? Surely that just went without saying? 77898[/snapback] It rules most rulingly. Dodgy translation alert, but: http://www.neubauten.org/en-disca-10-04.html What's not to like?

Absolutely, and I won't claim for a moment to have been the same, either emotionally or physically, at age 14/15 as I am now (no beer gut, for a start) - but, by the same token, I was already through with a good amount of what puberty had to throw at me, and more importantly I was already pretty sure that I wasn't going to fit the Hetero Male model of life. From what I know of other people, that makes me more the exception than the rule, and obviously the law has to try to find an "average" age that fits the reality of the situation as snugly as possible, but it doesn't change the fact that I knew what I wanted pretty early on. I suppose in this day and age I might've just stayed at home, surfed for porn and knocked one off instead, but that option wasn't open to me then - and when you're not the kind of teenager whose underwear elastic catapults across the room every time Baywatch comes on, your experimentation inevitably tends to take a different form. A potentially dangerous one, maybe, but then so (one might argue) are anyone's first steps into relationships and sex, whatever their age... EDIT: And yeah, I know (of) people who were, to some extent, taken advantage of by people who probably shouldn't have been anywhere near someone of their age, so I'm not denying for a moment that it happens - I just feel like, if anything, in my case it was me doing the exploiting. *shrug*

I'm still not massively convinced that "pre-pubescent" was the ideal choice of words in the context of the conversation, mind.

There are at every school, m'dear, you just learn to hide it well if you like the idea of actually surviving the experience. 77451[/snapback] I sat next to lad at school who has since come out. I reckon I turned him. 77453[/snapback] Onto his back or his front?

Why, do you want some tips like? Howay man, I didn't say I went out on the prowl at the local old folks' home or owt. It was just people I knew from school, friends' older brothers, sons of family friends, that kind of thing... no different to the kind of lads your average 14-year-old lass could easily end up with, really. Other than the fact that they liked the cock, obviously. Point being, it's that kind of legal/moral discrepancy - "why should it be illegal for a 14-year-old and a 19-year-old to have sex when they can both think for themselves?" - that organisations like NAMBLA try to capitalise on to expand the statement to, say, "why should it be illegal for a 50-year-old to prey on an 8-year-old?". Funny thing, the law... 77402[/snapback] Not all 14 year old can be 100% sure they want a stuffing in the rear surely, especially if they are being persued my a 19 year old! 77413[/snapback] Hey, some 14-year-olds prefer being on top.

Playing devil's advocate here, I suppose their argument would be "why should the boy have to wait if he already knows what he wants?" I do actually believe it can be mutual, within reason... some early teens are far more mature than others, after all. But the law's there for a pretty good reason, at the end of the day, no matter how arbitrary it might seem at times. I'd probably have a little bit of sympathy for their cause if it was merely a "reduce the age of the consent to 14" campaign or something (not that I'd necessarily agree), but no civilised society can really justify removing all legal and social barriers when it comes to the age thing...

Part of the problem is the way NAMBLA dress their arguments up in "child-oriented" soundbites in an attempt to legitimise their position within the "acceptance for outsiders" ethos of the wider LGBT scene. I don't doubt that there's a decent minority of legally underage males who enjoy sex with adult men - hell, I was one myself when I was 14 and 15 - but it's more than a little suspect to push that as the official party line - "we're doing this because minors like sex too!" - when the people who really drive the organisation are the men and not the kids... *removes Militant Fag hat*
