lukey 1,621 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 When my lad was 17 he started dating his girlfriend. she is the same age as him , after meeting her I found her to be very a very young 17 year oId.... I pulled him to one side & told him that if I thought he had pressured her into doing anything she wasn't ready for emotionally I would have his bollocks on a platter . Anyone who thinks a child of 15 is emotionally mature enough to get into a sexual relationship with a man nearly double her age is as sick as the dirty b*****d who groomed this kid The problem with age is that it is simply a number! As you point out a 17 year old was apparently not very mature, but on the reverse a 15 year old may be VERY mature for their age! The specifics of this particular case is something most here only know about through the media. Whatever anyone feels about the footballer, we would not be debating this if she had been a little older, so what makes it fine at 16 when you yourself say 17 was immature? Some seem to think at 15years 364 days he is a disgusting ****** who should have his balls removed, whilst a day later its fine. Life just isn't that black and white! Your putting your point across but at the same time your trying to defend the footballer? The court found him guilty of grooming! f***ing GROOMING! Why the f**k can anyone try and play this offender down as it not being that bad??????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He would still be a sick c**t that wants his balls removed a day later Indeed he could, which goes right back to my comment about age alone simply being a number. Many children are born to girls under 16 every year in this country, are all the men involved in prison? In addition there are many countries that allow marriage before 16. We have decided our Legal moral stance is 16, much of the world hasn't. I am not making any suggestion that is right or wrong, just looking at the bigger picture!

Welsh_red 4,711 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I wonder if people's views on this would be different if he was a Lardy ropey looking 28 year old? Just a thought . If it wasn't "Adam Johnson" the footballer we've all watched and somebody normal would people feel the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im just curious to this way of thinking.........so how exactly should this law work then ? or shouldnt there be a law.....if she,s up for it rump her sort of thing ?.....i mean the driving limit is what 17 ?...... should a 16 year old boy be able to drive because he is nearly 17 ?......and should he be let off if he doesnt happen to kill anyone ?.......none of us are perfect we,ve all broken a law or two but there has to be laws and we have to take it on the chin if we choose to break them its not a difficult decision you just have to know what the law is......and he did.

I am simply making the point that some here have taken an incredibly moral stance on the basis of a what may simply be a day! I don't think that anyone is taking an 'incredibly moral stance' in calling Johnson for what he is, or for questioning some of the posts which have attempted to play down or even excuse what he did. Do you think a 27 year old father trying to get a fifteen year old, or even a sixteen year old girl into bed is okay..., because it certainly comes across as though you do? I wonder if people's views on this would be different if he was a Lardy ropey looking 28 year old? Just a thought . If it wasn't "Adam Johnson" the footballer we've all watched and somebody normal would people feel the same The fact that he's a well known footballer makes it of public interest and ensures significant media coverage. It doesn't make the crime any different in my view. Still can't fathom why people are trying to play this down. A question to anyone who thinks what Johnson done was okay if the girl was 'up for it'..., or if she happened to have just turned sixteen. If a 27 year old man turned up at the door to take your 15 or 16 year old daughter out, or away for the weekend, would you not think it was wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
