The follow up questions are:

• Do you think this is an isolated incident?

• If it is, how would you know for sure?

(Use the word for what they really are - children - no one wants to admit to being a pedophile and when they realise they are you either stop them or show them for the pedophiles they really are.

The pedophiles will always try to explain away how teenagers and ‘almost-legal’ girls are basically the same as legally aged women. Follow this up with: So if 17 is okay because it’s almost 18 does it follow that 16 is okay because it’s nearly 17 which is basically the same as 18? Then 15 is basically 16… 14 is basically 15… 13… 12… 11… where does the line get drawn if crossing the line is okay? And if crossing the line is okay when it is close enough - then wherever a new line is drawn will it also be okay to cross? Where does it stop? Where is your actual bottom line of what’s okay?

Do you think sex trafficking in porn is an isolated incident? If it is, how would you know for sure? If it’s not, what is the acceptable number of forced and raped women and children you would accept in your porn?

Domestic cats are believed to be domesticated not from tigers, but from the African wildcat:

Which evolved to be small just because it's sometimes more useful to be small.

And no, hamsters are not off-brand rats. They're part of the rodent order, which includes beavers, moles, capybaras, guinea pigs (yes, also wild) and lots of other fun things:
