Lower the Age of Consent

[meghanwaterlillies]

All nations of the world should lower the age of consent to at least 14.

nothing he living in the age of Aquarius, star of his own Charles Manson, and he "LEAST"didn't even say what's implied. I'm not guru-ing it out. He didn't say what age group even so he said AT least 14. Were ya gonna go younger?

Sounds reasonable.

Yeah, sounds reasonable to expect naive kids -who are still developing physically and mentally - to possess the level of maturity and responsibility needed to make rational, informed decisions, and they obviously wouldn't be susceptible to manipulation, coercion, exploitation, etc.

Yes, but at 21, one knows everything and is wise in the ways of the world. Just ask him!

Remember the good old days when I was an obnoxious atheist instead of being simply obnoxious?

I've come to believe that the only false god is certitude, and even here I count myself an agnostic.

"Tee, hee. My boooyfriiieeend *giggle* is taking me on a date to see the new Monster High movie *squeal* omg he's like 40 and my friends are soo jealous!"

I have to wonder what the **** is wrong with a 14 year old girl who wants to go out with a 40 year old man. Low IQ, probably.

I have only been a member for 2 1/2 years. I don't remember the atheist part.

That was quite some time ago. But, yes, we're still rebuilding parts of the Forum you laid waste to back in the good old days.

It seems to me I might be running a parallel course to you on this, Jay, but perhaps a few years behind. All the false gods haven't coalesced into one false god, certainty, for me yet, but the issue has been engaging me.
