How does someone that dumb and nerdy have a 17 year old chick?

he's what you would call a "sexual predator" and she is a "minor" who thinks she's "mature" because she "hangs out" with "older" guys.

there probobly both losers.

Dunno... but doubt she'll be on "hot or not" well maybe; she did catch fire...   ;D

17 is still technically a minor though. not anything i'd ever want to gamble on.

Not in most of the US.  The age of consent is lower than 17 nearly everywhere.

At exactly what point in either of these articles did it state these people were having sex -- or even dating?
Title: Re: 2 injured in light saber duel

Age of consent when the older partner is 20 is way under 18 in most of the US.

I dated a lot of high school girls (16 and 17) when I was 19 and 20, it wasn't because I was a "predator", it was that they were nice girls, and thats all I ever met (every girl over the age of 17 in my circle of friends went away to college at 18).

So I really don't see anything wrong with that.

To find the perfect age girl for yourself just follow this simple and scientific formula.

Divide your own age by 2, then add 4 years.

Its supposed to be divide by two and add 7. Adding 4 gives guys 26 and under girls who are under 18.

But the divide by two and add 7 rules does work surprisingly well.

I thought the rules was " What ever comes along (age 20-85) take it "  ;D

This is what happens if you don't (http://www.mame.net/cgi-bin/wwwthreads/showpost.pl?Board=mamenewreleasetalk&Number=33678&page=0&view=expanded&mode=threaded&sb=7#Post33678).

Canada has some disturbing rules. I could date a 14 year old if I wanted. That really shoulden't be legal. Why has this law not changed?

Maybe you should check the ID's of the girlfriends of the politicians... assuming they're old enough to have an ID. ;)

Anyhow, what was in the bulbs?

Marrying young teenage girls was the norm (not the exception) up until 150 years ago. I did my family tree research a few years back and I had PLENTY of ancestors who married 13 and 14 year old girls (even had a few 12 year olds and one 11 year old in there), out of the hundreds of marriages there were only a scant few featuring women older than 20 and most of those were second marriages.

No longer marrying and knocking up 12 year olds is what we call progress.

Agreed. What on earth would a grown man want from a 12 year old.

A buddy of mine often says "if it bleeds, it's ready."  Now I'm not going to justify that from a right or wrong standpoint but scientifically speeking it's correct.  We are born to breed, that is our one true purpose on this Earth.

P.S. the only person I've slept with that is younger than I is only 5 month so and we were both 18 at the time!  <-- Just in case you were wondering.  :P

im pretty sure the age of consent in the US is the same as in australia- 16.

It's 18 in the US.

Actually, it varies by state.  It's 16 in Georgia.

when i was 24 i had a 17 year old girlfriend. does that make me a sexual predator? i even used to stay overnight at her parents place and we all got along famously....

Uh, kind of.  If my 17 year old daughter brought home a 24 year old guy it wouldn't be pretty.  I can't imagine what would happen if dude tried to stay the night in my house with my 17 year old daughter.

No.  If he were American of Vietnamese descent, that would make zero difference to me.

If my 17 year old daughter brought home a 24 year old, it wouldn't matter if he was American, Vietnamese, Polish, Terran, or even from this dimension... My questions to him would go like this:

1. Have you been castrated?
2. Are you allergic to anesthesia?

.... Of course, my daughter could be 40 and I'd feel the same. Your daughter shouldn't get married until she's  30, and shouldn't have sex until you're dead. :)

Makes grandchildren difficult though....

For what it's worth, by the way, the lowest age of consent in the U.S. appears to be 14 in three states.

I have to agree with the two of you.. Just becasue it was a guy and a girl everyone assumes that they're doing it.   For all we know they could be brother and sister.

Considering how dumb they obviously are, the fact that they are brother and sister does not change the likelihood that they were hittin it.

good point!

Considering how they were such enormously nerdy Star Wars fans that they felt compelled to create a "mock light saber battle" using glass tubes and gasoline most likely *does* change the likelihood to that where they were - in fact - *not* hitting it.

Abstinence and nerdom makes people crazy. Now, if they are Trekies (or Trekkers) too, I could say with 100% certainty that they weren't "bumping uglies."  ;)

On this we agree.

We all know that age of consent is a non issue in this case.

I'm sure they'd find your lack of faith...disturbing. Sad thing is, they probably could have purchased a half-way decent, battery operated light saber from Wal*Mart.

But like true DIY'ers they forged on with their own brilliant plan!
