See? This is what "Lesbian haxxors" are capable of doing!

Different societies should have different standards. My sister has a theory that marriage was invented when people lived to be about 30 years old - so it worked.

I think there is an important relationship in the ages of the people involved. I would view a sexual relationship between two 16 year olds quite a bit differently than between one kid who was 16 and an adult who was, say, oh, 56.

I believe that rape is about power - not about sex. When one person is too young to make a reasoned judgment, and too vunerable to the power trip of an adult, that's not a healthy situation.

Finally, what's the rush? Today's teenagers in America probably have a life expectancy of 80 or so years. Start having sex when you're 18 and you still got 60 or so years to go at it. Is that so much worse than having 61 or 62?
