enchantment vs entrapment

Its hard not to get caught up in the glory of what is the age of technology, isn't it? Answers and the winners of bets are merely a google away, or even just a text message. We don't even have to be at a computer to find out, most phones will do it for us. We can talk shit to people were playing video games with across the world, and theres the ever popular notion of bringing love letters back into style.

This however, does walk a fine line of fantasy and felony.

I wont deny it, ive been known to watch the 'to catch a predator' marathons, we all have. We get bitch slapped with it during any prime time slot. Not to mention that its just culturally relevant now. If you have a daughter or a boyfriend/husband, there is always that fleeting shadow of doubt or fear.

Perverted justice… yes, the name is so ironic that it is indeed perverse. What has me slightly on edge about this is the fact that there are adults, who go to a certain length to stay on the cutting edge of teenage and tweenage slang in order to be convincing. Im under the impression that they are not allowed to initiate the conversation, but once the initial exchange is all said and done, how far can/will they go?

Of course we can all 'see' the appeal of a younger girl, there have been numerous studies, and also just the plain asthetics of it all, but that is best saved for a later stream of thought. However… really, there is a point to where it can no longer be really desirable. I can almost even see the 'treading new ground' desire as well. I don't advocate it, but some people want that power to be able to break their mate. it's a very common and basic trait of human nature. All in all, I think that yes, it probably HAS led to people who would pose a threat being removed from the situation. For a while

Correct me if im wrong, but doesn't the oveer saturtation of the coverage of such sting operations not negate the purpose? Not to mention that MSNBC does it. If you ever watch the show, you will notice almost instantly that every conversation is on MSN chat. Im all for product placement but c'mon. what about AIM? What it shows is that you need to not use MSN to fish for jailbait, and also, get the girl to vary her age. Common sense is also lacking to an obscene degree with the people who are caught. I can all but promise you that any underage girl who is out to talk dirty, go down on an anonymous man, or fuck his dog or whatever they are asking for, WILL NEVER, EVER, I REPEAT NEVER be straight up with her age at first. I actually will even promise you that.
She may not even lie about it, but she can dodge the question. Also, if perchance, one does go through the courting process of charming a girl trying to pretend to do her homework with grainy pictures of an unimpressive penis, or the other alternative, the picture that was pirated from a porn site, think about it: driving through a developing neighbourhood that consists ENTIRELY of model homes, well, that is another warning sign.

The whole thing just has me hesitant to believe it. The first year or two, sure, I get it - yet its years later now. How have they not caught on?

The other side of the coin isn't much different. I saw a news piece yesterday that told the tale of a ten year old girl who habitually was having pornographic conversations with men no younger than 25. I don't delude myself that a parent can keep a constant vigil on their child, and I don't think that they should either. Most of what a child from the age 8 and on will learn, they learn either on their own or behind their parents back. But, once you've found you child agreeing to fuck some perverts dogs, giving out the LAND LINE NUMBER, and what not, when do you allow her back online with out setting up some sort of firewall system? *yes, she was allowed back online* . Most parents, or any decent parent has my up most respect. Its hard living in todays world much less having a child grow up in it. Its hard to realize that the world is so much different than the one that even I grew up in. america is so different from any other country in the sense that we, as a society, and as a people have a sex addiction. We wont realize it because weve become desensitized to it. But really, when was the last time thre was a movie that everybody was dying to see that was rated G? when was the last time that headlines could go a week without a sex scandal? (david duchovny, you are in my thoughts, prayers and fantasies byt the way) the last time you could see three billboards with everybody wearing more than a bathing suit?

Think about that, yet at the same time, we still have sex and sexuality on this constant flux of taboo. You hear the words 'rape' and 'fuck' almost twice as often as you hear the words 'sex' or 'making love'. there was a point to this. I have since forgotten it. Ill fix it later
