But I think there is a difference between an innocent 6 year old being shot and a 16 year gangmember being caught in the crosshairs. I don't think many people would agree that they are the same thing, outside of you originally.
I just think it's funny that when someone brought up that difference your first thought was to compare his argument to that of a child rapist arguing that "well, 16 year olds aren't really kids."
But in a thread about an actual child rapist, with people arguing that 16 year olds aren't reallly kids, your first thought was to thank them.
I think at best it shows hypocrisy and a lack of conviction for your actual arguments, at best. Meh, I'll drop it, because I actually agree with what you originally said, I just hope you take your own advice in the future:
"Let's let child rapists and dirty teachers keep the "well, 16 year olds aren't really kids" argument."
