After reading through the previous pages I saw some people getting facts wrong *looks at H-con*, so hereby I'll correct them:

Having sex with children should probably be illegal, but I don't agree with the age of consent laws. In some states, an 18 year old is a sex offender if he has sex with his 17 year old girlfriend. I don't think that's right.

There is such a thing as the "Romeo and Juliet law" in America which makes it perfectly legal when there's no more then 3 years of an age difference.

The Netherlands have 12 as the lowest limit I think, I feel that's way too low. 16 is fine, IMO.

Sure sure, bring in your personal stereotypes. Seriously, where the fuck did you hear that? It's 16. Seriously dude.

Whoever told you that lied to you. Penalties can be reduced, but there are still penalties. For example, it could be a misdemeanor instead of a felony, and the amount of time you spend as a registered sex offender can be reduced. If you are over the age of consent and you have sex with someone under the age of consent in the U.S., nothing can stop you from getting some kind of punishment if charges are pressed.

Being a registered sex offender for any amount of time is not good news. In some places, you have to go door to door and tell all your neighbors that you are a sex offender.

However, there are no punishments (that I can tell) if both parties are underage.

No, seriously, that's what I heard. I had heard that it was 12. It has nothing to do with stereotypes. Heard it in a debate about this a couple of years ago. Sheezh. Relax mijzzle.

Well here's the map, most of Europe is 14 or 15, but Netherlands is 16. Most of Mexico is 12 though.

But Spain is 13!

Also, I can't tell the difference between the 9 shade and the 12 shade. I think 14 is fine, 12 might be pushing it, but 9 is kind of ridiculous.

He isn't joking. I do remember reading that a serious group over there was trying to get the age of consent lowered to 12.

Well that's kind of different from the age being 12 right now..

And people wonder why we consider the middle east to be barbaric. No law on child molestation in two middle eastern countries.

Yeah, you can have sex with anyone you want as long as you're married to that person.
