You wrote that you "don’t see a 19 year old as a “woman”. Maybe a100 years ago at 19 they had better maturity, not the last few generations"
According to Dr. Offer "1.Intellectually, American 16-year-olds are as advanced as the adult population.2 Their reasoning and decision making techniques are the same as those of adults. Psychologically, adolescents suffer the same rates of mental illness as the adult population" Dr. Offer has been honored with the Schonfeld Memorial Award for Research in 1985, and the John P. Hill Memorial Award in 1990. He has been a respected member of the faculty at Northwestern University since 1991.
When the Supreme Court of Canada say that " the age of sexual consent is 14" THEY KNOW VERY WELL WHAT THEY SAY.

“According to Dr. Offer "1.Intellectually, American 16-year-olds are as advanced as the adult population.2 Their reasoning and decision making techniques are the same as those of adults.”

I have always said Americans were stupid and if the grownups are operating at a 16 year old level it proves it.

“Psychologically, adolescents suffer the same rates of mental illness as the adult population" Dr. Offer has been honored with the Schonfeld Memorial Award for Research in 1985, and the John P. Hill Memorial Award in 1990. He has been a respected member of the faculty at Northwestern University since 1991.”

I would say the teens suffer because they are being raised by fools. All credit to the man for spotting this.

“When the Supreme Court of Canada say that " the age of sexual consent is 14" THEY KNOW VERY WELL WHAT THEY SAY.”

Yes I have a child here now that had her own child at 13 years old. These laws ignore the individuals though Antonios.

“It is time for you to start to trust and respect teenagers!”

I wish I could escape them at times in my house. But each individual teenager must earn my respect, some have.

jewely come, I understand your daughter, know plenty like her.
Your words not mine she can look after herself, she would never let this happen to her betcha.
Now gang bang is not rape, few amung us would defend rape, you surely know that?
union, onion, gang bang what ever you call it has been a thing no one is pressed to take part in.
Girls do invite it ask for it and are sometimes much more in control of themselves than the men who take part.
And again why not face the reports, even the words of this foolish woman, never said she was forced.
I do not agree with age of consent being 14.
How strange posters who have defended freedom here now want to question freedom in matters of sex.
Again the Catholic church would do better to keep its kids away from its preist,s rather than the NRL.
I leave now to warm up the tele mine team plays this mob today and I expect no empty stadium.

"Now gang bang is not rape, few amung us would defend rape, you surely know that?

union, onion, gang bang what ever you call it has been a thing no one is pressed to take part in."

Belly,

By the logic you express above, because trade unions are full of big burly guys who can look after themselves, then surely they are never taken advantage of by any employer. Surely...

You need to get something straight.

When I'm responding to a specific post/person. I quote them. When I'm responding to a general opinion-I don't. Even if I have quoted someone's wording of that general opinion.

I will also state when I have read every post on every page.

NOW: I quoted 'Johns is not a victim' as a GENERAL opinion from the boys club, because I was unwilling to go through all male posts where it was stated. I did not quote an individual-so no quote brackets.

YOU took that personally; addressed my failings personally;-and made it personal. So I did.

You get personal. I get personal. Simple.

Too late to get precious now.

I return to the quote from Pynchme, about the conversation in the car-park. That is the crux of this matter.

And if you 'gentlemen' wish to discuss this further. I will also.

Damn! Meant to put this in my last post.

Antonios; understood. Apologies!

There has been some pretty outlandish logic on this thread, I got confused......{-_o}!!
