Age of Consent?

Irmin · Post by **Irmin** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 6:12 am

If 13, 14 or 15 year olds choose to have sex, who are we to say that they have to wait until tehy reach 16? So for example a man woudl be forbid to bed a gorgeous adn willing 15 year old just becuase some fat old politician says he can't? It's a matter of whether the person in question feels ready for it or not. I disagree with havign a set age.

Nature versus nurture.

Well, I would hope that a "man" would not have it in their brains to sleep with a young teenage girl. At that age, girls are struggling with their sense of self vs. what the pop culture tells them to be. If a "man" who she looked up to came into the picture and put advances on her, she may be willing, but only because she is trying to please him. Let me repeat that: please HIM, not herself.

Put a legal age on losing your virginity? Hard to do, and more interference from the government in our personal lives than I feel comfortable with.

Putting a "statutory rape" limit on age difference? Absolutely. If these "men" can't decifer the difference between right & wrong, then someone has to. Innocence is only had for a short time, its worth protecting. A real man of stable mind won't even give the law a second thought.

EDIT:

So there is no confusion, I feel the same about older women & boys

Nobody says you must not, Irmin. All they say is that if you do you have to be tried for it, and if found guilty by your peers you have to abide by whatever sentence is passed on you. It's entirely a matter of personal choice whether you take the one path or the other.

If you feel the law is an ass in a given circumstance you have the benefit of your peers passing judgement. If they agree with you they'll refuse to convict. A fairer system than that would be hard to design.

Let's see...

You burst on the FG scene as a Nazi, now you're arguing in favour of paedophilia.

You're a tad socially awkward.

As for the age of consent, if we're talking about your parents, it should be 100.

I too, disagree with an age of consent in general but again if you don't have one, then when someone molests a 2 or an 8 year old or such, you have nothing to go with. So we have to have something. What else could we do?

I thought the majority view in the US is that sex should be practiced only between married partners. If the majority view were taken as the basis of legislation then that would deal with the question.

Spot, that would be a terrible thing, IMO. Where did you get your source for that? I think that might be the majority view in among the christian segment of the population, but definitely not most. I sure wouldn't want the gov't telling me as an adult, that I had to be married to have sex.

Fight the fundamentalists. There's no practical difference between a fundamentalist christian legislature and a sharia court system except I'd sooner trust the latter.

You don't happen to know what proportion of adult US residents claim to be Christian, do you?

No, I sure don't. I understand christianity is the predominant faith though but I don't have a number for that either.

Gosh, I'd rather eat my hat than fight the Fundies!!! EEK!

There is a big differecne betwen a man who has sex with a teenage girl than a paedophile. A girl of 15 has plenty of womanly features, so if an older male finds her attractive, he is not necessarily a kiddie fiddler.

only for the ultra-conservatives with thick blinders on. outside of that small group, sex is EVERYWHERE. Casual sex is glorified in pop culture... tv, radio, magazines, fashion.

When I was a virgin at the age of 14, I was a rarity. In fact, I had sex at 15 just to see what the big deal was... why people cared so much about it.

You do accept, though, that it would be a prime objective of fundamentalist christians to get it adopted?

I don't think sex within marriage is permitted in the US below the age of 14. at the moment, but there's no age difference rule attached to that. I may be behind the times of course.

We've solved Irmin's problem for him though. All he needs do is become a US citizen and marry in a state which permits 14 year olds to get married. I'm glad we sorted that for him. There's probably a state that hasn't prohibited bestiality too, that'll deal with his next attempt at online social interaction here.

They killed Jesus, Fester. You're so out of touch if you never knew that. We spent the best part of a thousand years killing them in revenge. We know that we're in for some Almighty Wrath if it turns out we weren't meant to do it, so we invent elaborate blood libels to help popularise our case and spread whatever blame's going. Little Sir Hugh of Lincoln was quite a favourite for a long while.

I hope that you dont have any children, or work around children. If life is a free for all and womanly features determine maturity, than you surely must be in favor of incest also. So, if breasts and genitals are sufficently developed.... your motto seems to be Anywhere, anytime, with anyone. There are adults bbelieve it or not who #1 feel they have a moral obligation to protect the worlds young. And #2 Have developed pleasure centers of their brains that go way beyond mere sexual gratification. In your world adults would be mere predators, and we would live in a savage society.

I've no idea. Let's practice, shall we?I'm very worried about the declining number of Great Apes on the planet. I think the numbers should increase and that they should live outdoors in surroundings close to those they enjoyed in the wild. There trouble is there's no budget provider to set aside land for this.

I think farmers should take the job on, they manage, for example, to keep alligator numbers higher than they'd be otherwise. To make Great Apes farmable though, the law has to change to allow their skins to be marketed. Great Ape leather would be a premium-priced commodity if it were legal. We could have very distinctive handbags and shoes, and the mountain gorillas would finally have a permanent home safe from poachers and deforestation.Your turn, weeder. Go for it.

I think Ive got it!!!! Ive proposed a new concept for the supermarket managers in my town. My feeling is that we should do away with the fresh fruit and produce departments. Fresh fruit increases the risk of pests and diseases entering the country. There has also been an incresed number of residents visiting the emergency rooms of local hospitals to have produce removed from their rectums. It seems that with the high number of illiterate folk living here.... incorporating fruits and vegetables in the diet to promote elimination was mis understood. The poor victims did not understand that they were supposed to EAT the stuff, not insert it.
