It's stupid and pointless to lock someone up because they had sex with a teenager. It's stupid, teens have sex with teens and adults have sex with adults, so why can't adults have sex with teens? Hell I have several friends who could go to prison for having sex with their 13-17 year old girlfriends, just because they are 18-21 years old. Hell right now I'm interested in a woman who is 17, but we wouldn't legally be able to have sex because I'm 18. My last girlfriend was 13 years old, and that was when I was 18 also. It's just a really stupid rule. There are people who have gone to prison and are registered sex offenders because they had sex with the person who is currently their wife, but they weren't when they had sex. Technically it's not pedophilia if they are 13 or older, so it has nothing to do with pedophilia. In some US states you can get married at 13. It's just a pointless law that puts good people behind bars. At 13 they are a teenager and able to make their own decisions. Who else would like the age of consent to be lowered to 13?

Only five states have an age of consent of 18 with no age gap provision. Take her to one of the other 45. I don't want to know why an 18-year old was dating a 13-year old. Robocon was definitely better. 9/11 changed everything.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

Wow ban this dude.
And I vaguely recall looking up age of consent laws in various states for some other thread and I don't think more than a very small number, if any, states in the US would take issue with an 18 year old and a 17 year old.
EDIT: Solomwi beat me to it.
Also, to continue off of Solomwi's point, I also wonder what enforcement is like in those five states which lack an age gap provision. I would be very surprised to see 18 year olds getting convicted of statutory rape in those states for relations with someone a year younger, even if it may technically be a crime.
Oh and teenage pregnancy

Isn't it a federal felony to cross state borders to have sex with a minor?Originally posted by Solomwi View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

The fact that there are some states that are so backward as to allow thirteen year olds to get married does not mean that such laws are correct.Originally posted by Alpha Protocol View Post
And it's also known that a person's brain does not fully develop until age of 22 IIRC. Yeah, the age of consent is still lower than that (eighteen) but given that no one under age of 22 then can really consent with full, mature thought, why lower it even more, to thirteen?A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

MrFun, the brain develops differently for different people. AAHZ is well over 22 and his brain is far from developed. You can't just put down an age and say "DEVELOPED!" These laws are inherently arbitrary.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I'm using a helpful analogy. The worst case scenario here is that AAHZ comes and disputes my claim.
No wait, that's the best case scenario.

I thought the frontal lobe didn't finish developing until something like age 27 for males? Yes, that happens to be my age...Comment
