In one jurisdiction in the US, it is a crime for someone over the age of 21 to have sex with someone under the age of 17. In Australia the age of consent is 16. Can a 16 year old boy legally consent to sex with a 54 year old in Australia?

WT claiming that "viewing child pornography is not considered to be child sexual abuse"?
Depending on the jurisdiction, viewing child pornography is not child sexual abuse. But you will have to show that it is in Australia..
Mathew 5:27,28 says nothing about viewing child pornography being child abuse. (although it is wrong to have sexual feelings towards a child) Children of the same age sometimes have sexual feelings towards each other and male children sometimes have sexual feelings towards a teacher for example.

And that response, of course, when inadequate,will cause damage to people. You understand that? -Chair
versus found inadequate and has caused damage
And from the evidence that we have had, that is likely to have happened. -Chair
versus the evidence shows that it has happened
That has already been determined. Beyond question. --Orphan Crow
versus
your liability will be determined on a case-by-case basis--Chair
and you will be contributing on a case-by-case basis. Chair
IF found liable for any given case. -Fisherman
Had the organization been found liable, they would be liable for all cases with no more need of determination for any case except for the the amount of liability for each case.

EU court upholds an employer's right to ban religious symbols
by careful infirst i should say that i do not like islam for multiple reasons, not the least of which is the moslem treatment of women.
still, the free exercise of anyone's peaceful observance of their religion, including moslems, trumps my personal preferences.
also, living in america, i evidently enjoy a greater degree of religious liberty than i see in recent years in continental europe, something that continues to baffle me.. today the european court of justice, the same group that has stood up for the rights of jws, has decreed that it is ok for employers to ban the wearing of religious symbols among employees.

should a Jew be forced to take off his kippah or a Catholic woman her cross?
Maybe they should. In High School, all must salute the flag, no hats, All JW out of the room and wait outside during flag salute. No hats or kippas worn by anyone inside the school. There was a jewish teacher who wore a kippa disguised as a toupe, wigs were allowed. I think it is a waste of time having to work around people. A person should have to adapt to everybody else and not the other way around to accomodate their religion. -

The workplace is no place for religious paraphernalia that interferes with the job you are being paid for. If you don't like it find another job or open your own business and dress how you like,
