Good argument

Its there But this not proves your theory about immigrants though.

Even if I take this part for granted (even though, I haven't seen anything that would support this or would confirm this), I still wouldn't be okay with some kid's life getting totally fucked up, because of the groomers, because again, the harm is not comparable to a kid to kid relationship. If these relationships are standard, then again, I don't see how this would be good or beneficial for the kids, when kids can have normal relationship with each other, where the potentiality for harm is not as high. @integral Can you list your reasons how such a relationship would be generally good for a kid (if we take into account the potential harm as well)?

Question is why would we allow the worst case possible scenario, when it is not necessary. We have to judge this issue from a potential harm vs benefit issue, I don't think the potential benefits that such a relationship could bring to a child could ever outweigh the potential harm.

Its not standard. The potentiality for harm is different, because adults have an upperhand physically, financially, cognitively etc, so they can abuse their power much more easily and in a different ways, compared to a normal relationship where a kid is dating a kid. Its also an assumption, that they are not being taken advantage of. - I mean its not rare ,when adults groom children. Also, we are not necessarily talking about stupidity but more about maturity and being able to see that certain actions can lead to certain unwanted consequences. There is no one perfectly good way to measure maturity, however one thing is sure, that you need to live and experience things and learn about yourself, in order to get more mature - this is why there is age of consent.

I don't have any particular stats on this particular part, so I admit that I don't know, but even in theory I don't see how could you get around the massive power difference part. Is this an assumption, or you have some source, that can verify this?

I don't think its safe to assume, that a relationship like that is a good idea in general. There might be very few exceptions where such relationship was beneficial to the youngster, but I don't think we should use exceptions to make a rule. I think that the potential benefit vs potential harm ratio is just bad.

Do you think minors can give proper consent to adults, when there is a massive power difference?

There is a difference between being okay retrospectively with an event that happened to you vs being okay with it morally on a societal level.

Veganism to me - is about moral and environmental considerations. I think there are very strong arguments in favour of veganism.

Yeah it is, but delusional people don't think the same way about this, thats why they called delusional. Some pedos think that the child is attracted to them and it would be good to have a relationship with them, but of course, there are other pedos who know that its a problem.

It would, if you would think, that what you do is good for that person.

So in your mind its impossible to imagine or super unlikely, that someone is ready to kill or ready to commit a crime or ready to do horrible stuff out of love?

Here is a weak study on "Sexual Attraction and Falling in Love in Persons with Pedohebephilia". https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32086644/

So generally, you don't think that people in a family love each other? Because again, most crimes and hurt are happening between family members.

Oh thats definitely not true. Most violence and crime and most hurt are behind family doors. Also don't forget that it doesn't have to be intentional.

How do you know that? Can you absolutely exclude the love for the child in all instances?

In that case, there is 0% chance that anyone will change his/her opinion on this matter.

Can you write down specifically where Carl is wrong?

I will provide a link (This won't say anything about immigrants, this just shows a basic crime stat comparison between the US and Sweden): https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Sweden/United-States/Crime/table Relevant stats: Total crimes per 1000 | Sweden:138.35 Ranked 2nd.

Do they have a choice not to play it?

@SQAAD Why would you hate hot woman specifically , when Narcissism as a trait is not exclusive to them Not all hot woman are narcissistic So at the end of the day, according to your logic, you shouldn't hate hot woman, but you should scan for narcissistic traits ,regardless of the hotness aspect.

Stargate Project : This guy researches topics like this very extensively. These two video summarize this topic in a digestible way, with quotes and sources. Sources for the first episode: https://pastebin.com/ug0vH78L Sources for the second episode: https://pastebin.com/JbrN02Kk

@Danioover9000 Those are good examples, however the context of the question was around , when one have a disagreement or when we misunderstand each other.

If people would be certain, that non-existence is better than existence, then even if its super stressful to kill themselves, they would do it, because they would percieve that as a better choice. - Example would be fanatic religious people, who are seeing more meaning in the afterlife, so some of them are 100% willing to die for the greater cause. But what I see, is that people aren't so confident in that belief, and I also see that people generally give more weight to love and meaning comapred to suffering.
