Just because it's allowed doesn't make it okay. There's no reason a middle aged man should be having sex with 16 year old girls. You'd need to have a mental disease to think there's nothing wrong with that...
Okay, but in two years it's orthodox to send 18 year-old men to the horrors of war. We support death, but hate the act that is responsible for life. You see it elsewhere and it usually has to do with female victimhood and the disposable male.
I'm slightly nervous to post this after the asinine attack in another thread by some poster with an agenda, but reports say he is pleading guilty to charges of child porn. I am as outraged at this as I was at every other single person committing this crime. No more, no less.

The age of consent in most states is 16. Having it be 18 is way too high. Because basically, you are saying there are no circumstances where a 17 year old girl can have sex without it being a crime. And girls around that age can be come very sexual. I know that fact doesn't mesh well with our society, but it's still a biological fact.
I think you have to be careful lowering the age of consent. That being said, it should be uniform across the country. I agree that a 42 year old having sex with a consenting 16 year old...if thats the legal age in said state, is creepy, but maybe shouldnt be illegal. My biggest issue with age is the drinking age. If youre old enough to die for your country, you should be old enough to buy beer
Well, that argument made sense when there was the draft because men didn't have a choice (outside of medical reasons, and a few others). If you enlist, sure, drink at 18. if not, quitcherbitching.
I see your point, but disagree. If the country is willing to take 18 year olds to fight with their lives, they should also allow them to buy beer.
I have a feeling you would see DUI incidents skyrocket in this country if the legal drinking age was 18.
Maybe. Probably also see the number of teenagers dying for their country if they raised the age you can enlist.
Ya, for anyone with an agenda, im not advocating either way. Just always thought it was dumb that boys could die for the freedom of others, but not buy beer
