There is not one single ounce of me justifying what these men have done, are doing, and are plan on doing. I think the attempt to sleep with a minor is not only disgusting and seriously disturbing but very illegal. Even in prisons the child molesters and pedophiles have to be protected because not even their fellow inmates respect and understand what they have done. I would never consider the "attempt to sleep with a minor" just a simple crime. That's not at all what I am trying to say.

What I meant by saying "the attempt to sleep with a minor" was comparing the fact that it was a failed try and they were not charged with actually sleeping with a child, stalking a child, or molesting a child. Just the attempt part.

For some reason people have taken that sentence and took it as if I was "simply" saying it was just a little ol crime. I'm sorry if it sounded that way, but that is not what I meant at all.

Still my mind is set on the fact that every person, even online perverts, have their rights as Americans. I just look back to when I was 13/14 and I cannot imagine discussing mature sexual conversations like a grown woman would. Even if the 13/14 year old has had sex and is experienced there is no way they would know sex like a full grown woman. A full grown woman knows what makes a man spin. A 13/14 knows what gets them attention. It's an entirely separate issue.

This is kind of personal but when I was 14 my first boyfriend (the one I lost my virginity to) was 19. Every boyfriend following that relationship was much older then me. When I was 15 I had a relationship with a 26 year old for two years. Then when I was 17 I met my husband who is 11 years older then me. I'm not saying these relationships were appropriate because now that I look back I think they were actually kind of crooked and those men I was with easily controlled my every move. I understand the manipulations and mind games older men can do to younger girls.

I still continue to believe that these men were lured by older woman and men and that it was a trap. I know that it's a beneficial way to catching a predator, and obvisiouly they have a lot of intent if their showing up with booze and condoms. But still the fact that there is no child waiting there seems to bother me.

I'm not talking about the immoral factor, or what they deserve factor...because if anything, you get what you get. I'm talking on the side of justice and where these people are pushing the lines with the law. I just feel what they are doing is setting these men up for a life time of destruction.

Now if they actually hired a bunch of teeny boppers and sat there and monitored what they typed, and the conversation got so deep that the men wanted to meet these kids, then that I would encourage. That way they can actually be charged and convicted for attempting to sleep with a minor.

That's all my opinion. Sorry if you disagree, but no matter how hard I try to understand the moral and immoral factors on this topic I still think about the law and what's justice. I'm sort of considering human kind, even if their nasty perverts.
