That's the second time I've seen you do that and quite frankly it's disgusting of you to say such things.

it was a reply to you mentioning his question simply stating I would be more concerned about the drug problem. Which is 100% true

My eldest works hard has 2 kids and struggles. If she decided to start selling pictures and found a mark of whatever age who paid her £35K I would not approve of her choice of selling the pictures and the older mark I would just think what an idiot a fool and his money and all that. I certainly would not think he was exploiting her though

Now if she was doing it to fuel a drug addiction all my concern would be focused on that

What huge difference? If you take 36, that would be double the age gap. I'm not sure why when moving into the 40s, 50s and 60s makes it any worse. Let's also not forget there is a huge porn industry based on teen (legal) and also let's not forget, teens (legal) are making vast amounts of money by not even selling naked pictures on Onlyfans, some even millions.

What is the "huge moral difference", please?

Re: BBC Presenter Suspended

So to all those trying to take the moral high ground by being disgusted with a 'relationship' between two people 60+ and 18, I'm intrigued to know what age gap would make you come down and stop being outraged?

Also, there's been plenty of stories out there about aging millionaires who just happen to marry someone maybe 60 years younger than them but in all the years I've been here I've never heard anyone complaining about them. Is the outrage in this case maybe because they were the same sex and some people are just letting their unconscious bias show through?

The worrying bit of all this to me is what sort of mental health episode did he have that ended up with him being admitted to hospital? I hope he didn't try and harm himself, because if he did then all those shouting from the rooftops about how disgusted they are should maybe stop and think.

The S*n didn’t think it was immoral, disgusting, or perverted a year ago…

So, you didn't answer it then, you pivoted on drugs - and thus no apology.

Your second paragraph attempts a reply based on your parental feelings. It was a bit of a roundabout explanation, but the gist seems to explain your feelings toward the "mark" as you put it (e.g. Edwards). As you would not approve of selling the pictures, can I take it that you would consider it immoral at both ends of the transaction? That's how it reads.

Most parents would hate the fact their children would join the army or go out drinking heavily every weekend, but it's legal and nothing they can do about it. I'm not sure what point the question poses?

It was an answer to the question

Attempts? roundabout explanation?

Honest opinion but you can shove it

Fair play. As you will know I edited so I did chill

One thing is for sure when in discussion with certain members here no matter what you reply with it is never good enough. Time for me to just not try to discuss anything with them

It's about the division between those who say nothing illegal occurred and those who question Edwards' morality.

Those who argue about the illegality seem to be avoiding being put on the spot in relation to their own children and the morality towards on older perpetrator.

Maybe the topic's run its course. It's we who are keeping it alive.
It's yesterday's news and may flare up again when and if the Edwards case resurfaces.
