Default Re: What content should be censored from the politics forum?

Asking what the definition of pedophilia is, informs the political debate. Just as asking when life begins, informs the abortion debate.

It was a political question IMO.

The text of the OP in locked thread was:
<font color="green"> Does wanting to have sex with a 15 year old who has gone through puberty make you a pedophile? Yes, it is illegal in at least nearly every state in the union, when you are over 18. However, the question is whether it makes you a pedophile.

I do not think it does. Pedophilia is the act or fantasy (wanting) of having sexual relations with a child. A person is no longer a child if he or she has gone through puberty.

Am I right?</font>
