Age of consent
 
So, i'm kind of talking to this 17 year old (age of consent in Texas)
I haven't done anything with her, but I can't help but feel a bit wrong

3 year age difference is not that bad, right?

atsonicpark 07.26.2008 05:52 PM

no biggy.

13 is the age of consent in japan.

Crumb's Crunchy Delights 07.26.2008 05:52 PM

kind of talking? chances are she'll realise you're an ugly fuck and then it won't be an issue

acousticrock87 07.26.2008 06:00 PM

Divide your age by two and add 7. Round up. That's you're minimum dating age.

I thought that this thread was about New Order.

I'm so disappointed.

:(

floatingslowly 07.26.2008 06:16 PM

Kind of like how westernEquinoxrocks was apparently already taken as a username.

Who'd a thunk it?

acousticrock87 07.26.2008 06:16 PM

I hope this guy is a joke.

Gibby Haynes has also fronted the band P with friend Johnny Depp and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea.

I think you've reached the age where age difference doesn't matter much anymore. Obviously 3 years is a big difference when one person is 13 and the other is 10, or 17 and 14, because those are formative years and a lot goes on in them. By now 3 years either way for you is A-OK legally and morally, I suppose, but is it a good idea? Some 17 year olds have their heads screwed on properly and some are still fools. Work out which one you have, age is no longer an issue anymore. Personally I don't think anyone should be allowed to be in a relationship until they are 35, but you know, that's just me.

schizophrenicroom 07.26.2008 07:21 PM

yeah, crypto, i encourage the talking just so you both understand where both of your capacities lie in terms of being able to communicate how far you'd want to take a relationship, if you both want to go down that route.

I thought it was about Bronksi Beat, what with crypto being Mr. Men On Films and all.

Get her to sign a waiver for consent and use of her image in all your part pictures and go for it.

MellySingsDoom 07.26.2008 07:31 PM

In merrie olde England, it's 16 for both straights and gays. Until 1997, the age of consent for homosexuals was 21 :(

Did we even have gay people then? Dang. You learn something new every day, don't you?

MellySingsDoom 07.26.2008 07:35 PM

You sure do. SY Gossip - fun AND informative.

Danny Himself 07.26.2008 07:37 PM

Here's a FUN FACT for you:

Alice Pleasance Liddell's surname rhymes with fiddle, not hell.

MellySingsDoom 07.26.2008 07:43 PM

Great fact, Danny! And here's one from me: When John F Kennedy did his famous speech in Berlin in 1961, and said "Ich bin ein Berliner", what he actually was, "I am a doughnut".

Danny Himself 07.26.2008 07:45 PM

Oh, what a laugh those Berliners had!

It's sort of gray. But that ^^^ might just be my favorite random factoid ever.

A Berliner:
 

MellySingsDoom 07.26.2008 07:47 PM

"Ja, ze President just said that he is ein doughnut!"
"Ha ha ha, zose vacky Americans. Still, we do like the Elvis Presley und the crazy movies they make, nein?"

Well this seems to induce a mathematical paradox if you're less than 14, see:

(13 / 2) + 7 = 13.5

Which means that you're forced to date people that are older than you. It's kind of a problem if you're only 3: (3 / 2) + 7 = 8.5

And I'm sure a lot of less than 10 year old people wanna have sex, so your formula sounds like the open door for legal paedophilia :eek::eek::eek: you are crazy acoustic!! crazy!! :eek:

acousticrock87 07.26.2008 07:52 PM

Oh right. I forgor to include the disclaimer: People under 14 should not date.

We can't have 1 year olds dating 7 1/2 year olds.

But anyway, the equation would have to work in both directions. Someone who's 13 would need to date someone older, but the older person would need someone older as well. Thus, the relationship implodes and jail time is issued. It works itself out.

again, for the sake of being informative on the SY gossip forum, while the gramatically correct form would indeed be "Ich bin Berliner", a lot of Berliner would (apparently) also say "Ich bin ein Berliner" and would be understood...

^^^Selbstverstaendlich hast du Recht, aber ich bervorzuege mein Version, weil es fuer mich witziger ist :)

Naja, verzeihung, ich muss eigentlich zugeben, dass es so einfach witziger ist...
Ich war übrigens ein bisschen enttäuscht, dass Obama nicht versucht hat, ähnliche Scherze am Donnerstag zu machen...

I like that.

ZEROpumpkins 07.26.2008 09:02 PM

In Australia, it's 16.
I'm legal

Cantankerous 07.26.2008 09:18 PM

crypto: it's fine, i think there's +/- 3 yrs acceptance anyway, as far as bending the law goes...here, let me explain it this way...
if a girl has not yet reached the age of consent, say she's 17 years old, she can have sex with anyone who is exactly 3 years older than her, or anyone younger.

pbradley 07.26.2008 09:56 PM

What year is the "you can't have sex with anyone at all, you sick toddler" age?

viewtiful_alan 07.26.2008 10:00 PM

You shouln't. Psh 14 year olds aren't innocent at all, 17 year olds even less so XD
Oh America, when will you realize that most teenage girls are far from innocent?

I actually think it's illegal to have sex at the age of 14.

Cantankerous 07.26.2008 10:07 PM

it varies from state to state

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of..._North_America

it's all very confusing

Cantankerous 07.26.2008 10:13 PM

in missouri it's 14 for males and 17 for females? what?

no 17 year old girl wants to have sex with a 14 year old boy. stupid, stupid, sexist law.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.26.2008 10:16 PM

I've heard of such thing. But based the the people it's almost exspected.

Cantankerous 07.26.2008 10:17 PM

boys mature way slower than girls. but the law should be the same for everyone.
