Other than the fact that I never defended Gaetz, solid point! 

Would've fooled me with the way you're getting your panties in a bunch because I called Gaetz a pedo. Maybe ask yourself why you didn't have the same reaction to the "multi day benders" people had over someone like Epstein.

Oh, they were all giddy over it. Then he drops out and they're like "Meh, never liked the dude. Happy he's gone"

Wow. Amazing economic turnaround by Biden in his last year in office.  He is still your President until January.

Too bad they voted that loser Trump into office. Or are they that uneducated in civics?  🤔

Expectations obviously

Personally, I was hoping for Kid Rock or Hulk Hogan

Hogan will be the next nominee for defense when Hesgeth drops out. He'll come into the Senate chamber with Real American blaring, rip his shirt off, body slam Bernie Sanders and hit Schumer with a leg drop.

Almost half as pathetic as defending a pedo on an internet message board after pretending you hated pedos for years on end. 

You are even a dick to the guy who owns the forum. You are miserable and angry, dude. Seriously, start exercising or get an outdoor hobby.

Did you just start working out or something? You seem particularly obsessed with the subject suddenly.

But but but the self identifying "smart" people on here said things were fine and the economy wasn't bad 🤔

I'm consistent in my suggestion he needs to exercise he is a miserable dude. Get out of the house. 

And no I've been in sports and outdoors my entire life.

Cool dude  You should definitely keep bringing it up.

Plan on it. Do you ask him why he is obsessed with saying the same few things or just have a thing for me? But people who exercise or walk or hike aren't as miserable as him.

I couldn't tell you. I'm up at 5am five times a week to work out.

Does "owning” the forum make his opinions any more informed? He’s a big boy who can separate his role as the guy who saved the EMB, and just another poster.

Seriously, you should look in the mirror. Your CVON meltdowns are epic.

He's a big boy but there should be a level of respect and gratitude from us as well in at least not being a dick in replies. It just shows how miserable WGB is. .

"In popular usage, the word pedophilia is often applied to any sexual interest in children or the act of child sexual abuse, including any sexual interest in minorsbelow the local age of consent or age of adulthood, regardless of their level of physical or mental development.”

 

 

This is an excellent point. We should go with popular usage like we do now with the word "literally". To hell with what words actually mean amirite!

This way we can use the word pedo to describe a woman who, on the morning of her 18th birthday, shags a boy that's one day short of his. Maybe we can do a sociological experiment and find two people who were born a minute apart, and get them together at just the moment the older one turns 18, then we'll see how quickly they close escrow.

I do and I'm not a miserable little guy like you. You should try it. You walk out your front door and leave the Shire.

It's 'popular usage' for people to type "would of, "should of" or "could of" in sentences too, that doesn't make it correct. 

Quote

"Pedophilia” refers to sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children.  "Hebephilia” refers to sexual attraction to post-pubescent minors age 11-14. "Ephebephilia” is sexual interest to those in later adolescence, approximately 15–19 years old.

As a practical matter though, and while there is zero possibility of any lawsuits this in this situation, as the legal 'owner' of the EMB, I have to go by legal definitions. Not what is 'popular usage'.

For instance, if it was you being called a pedophile because you had sex with a 17 year old and I didn't try to correct the situation by pointing out the error in that, it could possibly open me up to a defamation law suit. Would it be successful? I would suspect not (who knows?), but it would bankrupt me and of course kill the EMB because of the money that I'd have to burn through in my defense.

Now, there's no chance of Gaetz coming to the EMB and then suing anyone over anything, but now I've stated the legal definitions for any other situations going forward. So unless everyone starts using our Amazon link millions of times per month, leave me out of any lawsuits!

Somehow I just can't picture @Toastrel posting ten million messages a day that say:

TRUMP IS AN EPHEBO!

Epstein's crimes were exposed years ago, had been called a pedo many times by myself and several others, and yet somehow not a single person in here ever said, "Well, technically, he's not a pedophile, he's an ephebophile!"

Funny how that's suddenly an issue now that it's Gaetz being called that.
