Was he or not!

I don't know what you mean with the free thinker card. I am just not convinced the blame is on one man alone and a man that hasn't been deemed guilty in a court of law.

Europe is perhaps closer to home in the consent game. In France the age of consent is 15, Spain 13, Denmark 15, Estonia 14. In many nations of the world none of this would be such a big deal. It's the English disease to grab the pitchforks on an individual.

The man liked them young and if they were that young then it was illegal, but a lot of 15 year olds are not entirely blameless. Have you never attended a British secondary school? Or been to a pub on a weekend evening? I noticed it even this summer. Some very young people out drinking!

Anyway, I am done with this for the day. I think I shall go out to the pub and talk to only people with graying hair. You never can be too careful, though with an age of consent at 13 I should be fine!

That last comment was a joke!
