Once again, this guy was on videotape, in a gangbang, smoking pot and boozing it up. Some of you people almost act like this is just fine, normal behavior. Immoral is an understatement. The guy should have gone to jail...though, probably not for 10 years. Acting like this is some injustice because of the criminal justice system is ridiculous.

Yes, I am serious. And yes, I do make connections between what is socially acceptable across time and cultures.
I absolutely did not say that our ethics ought to resemble the ethics of any other time or place. Nor did I say that the behavior was good. I plainly said that I advocate abstinence.
I did say that 15-year-olds in every place and in every time have been sexually active, demonstrating that the activity isn't likely to stop according to our new morals.
You needn't convince me that the act was immoral. Not everything immoral equals prison time. I think that imprisoning highschoolers for sleeping with each other is pointless and a waste of resources, including the resource of their potential.
