Why does her age even matter? It's *his* age that's the problem, it would be equally a problem if she was 20 or 50.

So what? She's beautiful. I would totally have wanted to sleep with her when I was 15.

Which is not to say it should be legal.

What a strange remark. As long they're 18 or over, why would it be disgusting? I think you can certainly make a case that gay sex per we us disgusting, but I'm not sure why their age would factor into it. As long as they were legally of age to consent.

Yup.

I generally agree with you here.

good for him!

if they're not your child, and if they aren't even related to you, why would it be wrong?

I don't see anything racist about the costume either.

Not that I exactly have much respect for Pashtun culture, or particularly care what they might get offended by.

Why would it? What a strange remark.

What if you get married in a church?

I think more guys should dress up in sexy costumes. Girls deserve to see some male skin too.

It's 16 in 31 states, but the 'federal' age of consent is 18, as far as I know.

"Alcohol and a party atmosphere do not cause rape. They are used as excuses by rapists who want to relieve themselves of guilt for their illegal and violent behavior."

yup.

What 'selfish stupid behaviour' did Kesha promote?

Drinking at a nightclub and picking up guys can be part of a healthy lifestyle, as long as you're not doing it four times a week.

I assume it's a crime to obtain nudes under false pretences, right? (if they're under 18 it's of course a different and even more serious crime).

Wrong.

The actual data is in by now, and it's pretty overwhelmingly conclusive: parenting matters a lot less than we used to think.

Also, when a person under 18 has sex with an adult partner, only one of the two is guilty of a crime, and its not the teen.

Not really.

We'd be a lot better off if we had more people having hot, blissful (consensual) sex with each other, and fewer people voting. And, yea, fewer people eating pizza and other junk food.

I always feel more than a little disgusted when I step into a voting booth.


This year I'm going to take a vacation day and have a lot to drink before I vote, that way I suppose I'll feel better about it.

Democrats aren't monolithically pro-choice. About 30% of Democratic voters, and something like 20% of Democratic congressmen, are pro-life.


I'm not hopeful that abortion will really be banned for another generation or two, but then I take the long view.

Or we could always, you know, amend the federal constitution.


Or just have a revolution and put decent men in charge.
