Originally Posted By Mr X ***A fifteen-year-old boy having consensual sex with his fifteen-year-old girlfriend will be charged with statutory rape for having sex with a minor.*** Why not vice-versa? ***He'll also get a statutory rape charge if he's 18 and she's under 18, with the added bonus of sexual offender registration, even if his girlfriend is only weeks away from turning 18. There are documented cases of this exact scenario, with the boyfriends getting labeled as a sexual predators for the rest of their lives, simply because their girlfriends of many years were a few weeks or months younger than they were.*** Well, the smart thing to do would be to plan for it and be celibate for a few months. It's not THAT tough, believe it or not. I do think such laws are stupid, and there should be a clause somewhere that allows for couples who are 2 years apart or less. I realize that "two years apart" is also rather arbitrary, but is it any less reasonable than making a felon out of an 18 year old having sex with his girlfriend on his 18th birthday because his girlfriends' 18th is next week?

Originally Posted By LoyalOrderWaterBuffa ~~~She does bring up a good point though~~~ thank you WilliamK99 it feels good to have someone finally say something nice to me or about me for a change. too many of you on here get on my punctuation or call me ~~troll~~ and a ~~beau~~ . I am trying to just say what is on my mind like any of you. my opinion is no better and certainly not any worse than anyone else's and I have never launched a personal attack on anyone here{BUT I HAVE TRIED TO DENFEND THE ATTACKS}. again thanks for the compliment, FOR REAL! but what you wrote ~~~~in many cases possesing a picture of a nude minor will get you thrown in jail longer than you having sexual relations with them if you are of legal age and the minor is not....~~~~ wasn't what I was trying to say to everyone. my point is that it doesn't make any sense how 2 agreeing teens of same age can touch each others groins but taking a picture and showing the one who just touched or got touched physically becomes highly illegal. in other words pictures = very, very bad touching and actual sex= not so bad how can an image be more important than the real thing????? ameRica is so weird. my other concern was equal protection and fairness of laws for both sexes but imadisneygal clarified that. thank you imadisneygal. and Sara Tonin, i never said a bad word against you so why do that to me? WHY?

Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder Since now and again I have to deal with stat rape, although thankfully not very often, allow me to add this- it's often the parents of the minors involved that insist on pressing charges. When one goes forward, usually the parents of the girl, the other set responds in kind. Not pretty, especially when the vast majority of cases it was consensual.
Originally Posted By skinnerbox Actually, the cases I was referring to previously did not involve the parents, but overzealous law enforcement officers and city attorneys wishing to "make examples" of the young lovers for the local youth. Almost all of the cases I've read about regarding the 18 year old boyfriend and 17 year old girlfriend having sex involved public areas, i.e., getting caught in the backseat of a car at night at Lover's Lane, etc. Granted, it's not a smart thing to do. But raging hormones tend to make you terminally stupid, especially in your teens.
Originally Posted By ecdc Well, William can hope this is the last news on Carrie Prejean all he wants, but she just won't go away. Tonight on Larry King she said she's been "Palinized." At first I got all excited 'cause I thought it meant there was a sex tape of Sarah Palin out there. (Actually, Palinized would be a GREAT title for said tape, but I digress.) Then I realized that Prejean was actually crazy enough to think that this means she's somehow victimized. Apparently she's trying to get "Palinized" to edge out Swiftboating as the new political attack word. I can think of at least three things wrong with that. 1) It assumes Sarah Palin's been victimized. 2) It assumes Carrie Prejean's been victimized. 3) It assumes the rest of us are as dumb as Carrie Prejean. In Palin's farewell address (if only...dear god IF ONLY!) she said people need to stop "makin' stuff up." Prejean didn't get the memo. Man these two suck. In fact, cancel my previous joke about the Palin sex tape. I despise her so much I wouldn't watch it if you paid me.

Yet, she is outspoken against gay marriage which last time I checked, wasn't against the 10 Commandments.... If someone wants to flaunt their Christianity, they better behave to back it up....

I could Palin, Joe the Plumber, and Prejean as ones who at ONE point were "respected" in some circles but who have completely tanked themselves idiotically in search of more fame. Am I missing anyone?
