Provide a link. I did. I learned Thai at AUA 45 years ago.

sex with a minor by coercion is rape, even if that coercion is money.

We are discussing the coercion of a minor for sex. Illegal. Consent is irrelevant.

He failed to defend himself in a civil suit. The legal system allows a presumption of guilt in that circumstance. We can presume he is guilty.

Not surprising that you got it wrong. 1313 Elm, St Duckburg.

I use the phrase "we can guess" in the same way as we can guess that the sun will rise tomorrow.

I provided etymology. It didn't mention potato. Might want to retract your personal attack or step up and provide some etymology

Care to provide the etymology? Rice is also white. Why aren't we called rice? The exact derivation isn’t clear with some experts stating that it is a contraction of the Thai word ‘farangset‘ (French) as the French were present in Siam and Indochina in the 17th Century. Others believe it pre-dates this and derives from ‘faringsi‘ (Persian) when Persian traders were prominent in the region. https://www.thaizer.com/farang-in-thailand/

I think we can guess.

Francais -> farangset -> farang. Not derogatory.

You're expecting me to find some merit in illegality of this nature? An half of America (at least) knew that keeping slaves was evil even if legal in some states. Likewise abortion is illegal in some states and that law is evil. However, in this case we are discussing rape.

Yes, get checked out. Dizziness can be a problem.

I don't know if xirfartium exists either but it doesn't mean I have to accept that it might until proven otherwise.

The republican strategy ever since Biden won has been to shut down government funding to cause a crash in the economy. They figure that the uninformed great unwashed will blame Biden and vote for Trump. These scum are fascists

Acquiesce, not consent.

I'm saying she had no idea because she was minor and not capable of making a judgement call in this matter because of her age..

Simple. The US has the highest (by far) number of religious people among developed nations. Their religion is also far more conflated with politics than any other developed nation.

The whole point of the concept of a minor in law is that they don't know what they are doing. Stop victim blaming. "Interesting" that you conflate defending rape victims with being woke.

Trump deserves to be a pariah as do all of his acolytes. Here's what nice people they are. “It’s time to do it,” Stone reportedly told Sal Greco, an NYPD cop moonlighting as Stone's security guard, at Caffe Europa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “Let’s go find Swalwell. It’s time to do it. Then we’ll see how brave the rest of them are. It’s time to do it. It’s either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let’s go find Swalwell and get this over with. I’m just not putting up with this sh-t anymore.” https://www.rawstory.com/roger-stone-nadler-swalwell/?traffic_source=Connatix

So is Prince Andrew.

She was a minor, stop victim blaming.
