Yes, pragmatic people, like the ones who say "no fkg children until they are at least 18" are usually psychopaths.

Some people shouldn't ever have sex because they're never prepared to deal with having their own kids.

Are you one of them? Or are you just judging everyone else.

And, really, this angle you've invented is BS. There is no reason to remove the age of CONSENT (thread title) in regard to old people.
 
Algebra at 16 is advanced? That's a sophomore in high school. We took algebra in 6th and 7th grade. By the time I was a sophomore I (and most of my school) was in trig and geometry.
 
Society does not decide anything.

Whatever, dude. It's been over 20 years since I was in HS and I don't remember.

Are you also for testing 14 year olds and hooking them up with men?

I'm not sure how you can make that claim in light of your own position on pedophiles.

My position on pedos? Is there another?


Look dude, if this was about old people, there is no reason to mention the age of consent, let alone to make it the thread title. You could propose additional regulations without removing the age of consent.

Yes, there is reason. Many people are immature brats who risk bringing children into the world before they're ready.

Why do you keep repeating yourself? It's really annoying.

Um, the thread title says majority, not consent.

Majority has a lot more to do with than just sex, interesting that you can't get your mind off of pedophilia.

Signing contracts, owning businesses, driving a car, entering the military, getting married...there are lots of things that majority encompasses.

and as a "conservative", you therefore support the creation of an enormous bureaucracy to establish standards by which such age of majority is determined?

Fact remains, if the thread was about old people there is no reason to discuss the age of consent.

I'm repeating myself because you refuse to admit that the age of consent has nothing to do with old people. Additional regulations on old people DOES NOT REQUIRE removing the age of consent. Therefore, your topic is obvious and trying to change it is nothing more than a hasty retreat.

Whatever. Bla, bla, bla.

Your mindless suspicions are wrong. How about you stop being such a cynic and discuss the topic?

Your selective responses suggest there's something suspicious about you as well since you refuse to stay focused.

As an "undisclosed", you therefore support adult infants having the same rights and privileges as responsible, mature people?

I'm not suspicious of anything. I am merely destroying your stupid argument about children being tested for sex with adults.

Really, Dak? Ya think so? Why don't you stay on topic. Removing the age of consent has nothing to do with regulating old people.

The absolute silliness of this response indicates which side of this hypothetical divide you might fall.

Really, Chuck?

The thread title is ~"remove the age of consent". And the OP wants to test kids to see if they are fit for sex with adults.

Your's and ecofarm's responses indicate that you wouldn't pass the test. Neither of you are sufficiently mature to discuss this subject seriously, and therefore should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.

First, it doesn't say age of consent. Second, you are the only one talking about sex. I'm pretty sure the OP was more about driving, drinking (hopefully not at the same time), smoking and voting. Take your obsession with pedophilia to another thread.

The subject is testing children so they can participate in "adult activities". Read the OP.
 
No, this is the most pedo thread currently.

Only because you have made it that way. Other wise it was a thread about determining maturity. The only person talking about sex is you.
 
Really? hahahaha

Yes, really. I was against the OP idea. Yet you attack me and call me a pedophile because you are so obsessed with the idea you can't let it go. The only perv in here is you.
 
The OP was asking about majority being based on something OTHER THAN age.

Personally I think it should be when the person becomes the head of his/her household, i.e. responsible for his/her own rent and other basic needs. If a kid can pull that off at 16, cool. If it takes until age 30, cool.
