Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl
Whatever floats your boat. I've personally never heard of aforementioned story.
First of all, you're a manthra, right? >_>
. . . Of course, I hope to not offend you if you weren't. O_o
As for what you've said, personally, if you can't tell the difference, a good self-examination is in order. How you self-examine yourself is entirely up to you, but you got to know when to have control over yourself, at least enough control to tell the difference between love and your horomones. Of course, I think I'm a bit of an odd case, in this matter. Let me explain my life's story a bit.
Because my experiences are unique in this matter, I can't really give good advice, other than a thorough (sp?) self-examination.
Meh, stuff happens. All I can say about that.
I say, go for it. After the self-examination, if you feel that you want to stay with her until the bitter end for reasons beyond sex (yes, they have to be beyond sex), then, yes, definately go for it.
------------------------------------------
I tried to do that once, and failed miserable because Taskmage got in before me. ._.
Again, whatever floats your boat. I'm not here to convince everybody to think the same way I do: the world would be all too interesting for a while, and then not at all. Kinda dangerous, don't you think 
.
But, I disgress. I absolutely love discussing theology, though, so, on with the response.
Pascal's Wager is merely the logic I've used in the past; think of it as a supplement to my faith. By that logic, and this is going out on a limb a bit, but what you say may have a grain of truth; however, if a man goes up and outright denies God from his life, I would think he'd be in trouble come eternity.
As for what Hell is, I personally belive in personal Hells. An example:
I find it slightly ironic, though, as I imagine my Hell would be the stereotypical pit of fire and brimstone: you know, one of the few places worse than the humid pit I'm living at now. Let me put it this way: I love cold weather, which is non-existant here. All that's left is for the ocean to be made of blood, and a few more minor morbid details, and you'd essentially have my Hell.
No, get back on your chocobo: I think you've gotten the point behind this entire thread.
. . . Not to mention back-up the fact that people, while maybe not necessarily "taint," at least can be corrupt sickos.

It's funny, I have been, or at least think I was in love with someone, perhaps it was merely infatuation because what I felt for Jennifer is no where near what I am starting to feel for this other person, who shall remain nameless in case she and or family members read this board, and I have many hurdles to cross before I can tell her how I feel, yet I may have found true love where I was not looking for it. I feel for her what I have only felt for music, it feels like a part of my soul that was ripped away from me is back, and I feel complete. It goes deeper and is more complex than that, but that is the best that I can describe it and it is what I feel for her.

And after getting called away from the computer for a bloody hour and a half while I'm trying to write I've forgotten where I was going with the above paragraph >.< I'm sure it would have been an inspiring life changing message for people though
I think I was going to say that I don't know Yellow Mage. I know you can feel very strongly for someone, but is that really love? I don't know. I do know that what I am I starting to feel for this particular person is something I have never felt for any other person I have ever met though.

Woohoo! C'mon double post!
Interesting link to Pascal's Wager, but I disagree with it. I could be completely wrong, but it is my belief that whether or not you believe in God, so long as you lead a decent life you won't nessacerily be damned for all eternity. I also think just what IS Hell is debatable from what I hear most people say it is, but that's for another thread.

But, in a nutshell, that is the problem with Democracy, it's not a perfect system but is there really a better system out there?
. . .
The laws aren't there IMO to keep people from screwing up, it's to keep the sexual predators away from the kids.
Good lord, there was one man I know that I simply loathed, words cannot express how much I detested this man with every fiber of my being. Quite frankly, for him the younger and more scared he could get the better and nothing mattered so long as it was female.
It is from that kind of people that these laws SHOULD be in place. I think the issue could be open to debate assuming mutual consent and the younger person being mature, not to put to fine a finger on it, I have met VERY few women who are mature at 25, most of the ones I have met are out shopping, partying until 3am, and racking up debt without a care because their husband will take care of them, when they choose to settle down eventually and start looking at us *nice men you bring home to meet your folks* with interest vs disdain.
Ok, time to get off my chocobo
