I'll give you credit for not dissapointing me on either expectation. I would appreciate though that you refrain from trying to put words in my mouth (i.e., all that stuff about the law being right or wrong on crucifixion, etc.). I said "...common sense and good law enforcement"......I still stand on my original thought that saying if a literal word doesn't exist in another culture then the concept and practice of it doesn't exist there either is at best silly. But if you want to go that way then I'd like to put in the first vote for removing words like "rape", "murder", "robbery", "drug overdose", "disease", etc. from my native language and in that way remove those practices from the culture I live in.
And to think that I had imagined the great John Wayne had died and gone to heaven.!

You are great also Hunter, honest, couragious, moral, defending the right, and speaking from the hip, so unlike us mealy mouthed pinkoliberal Europeans,with all their intellectual twaddle.

All that I was attempting to explain, was that "wrong period" was a moral judgement, and yet later you refer to " common sense and law enforcement"
adding up to three different ways of viewing Rape, when Project Europa considering it purely as legal entity. No I am not he, and I frequentlly disagree though not always saying so.

You are both correct, in that if rape as a crime didn't exist, legally there would be no rape; but you are correct in that the word rape could still be used as a description of nonconsenting sexual intercourse forced by a man on a woman, and it is probable that it would still qualify as a form of assault in law. However in some cultures it may be that, this is ,or was considered just normal human behaviour.

My point was mainly to do with your " wrong period". Perhaps I should just have made my post like this.

"wrong period" by whose authority? who says apart from you?


Instead I went on about a whole range of laws on punishments and social behaviour, in an attempt to demonstrate how difficult it is to come up with clear unequivocal answers that stand up to the sort of questions that I posed to you.( especially that one on age of consent).

I hope that I have been clearer this time round and that you don't turn to your lady with "Another load of....( I'll leave you to finish that sentence; your vocabulary is probably richer than mine) ".

Please forgive us Europeans always making things complicated by tortuous arguments. The Greeks taught us 2500 years ago and we are still doing it
