Till the late 1800s the age of consent in England was 13, in Scotland 12, and in most US states 10(!) or 12.

IMO, it was a law that allowed adults to do what they wanted with children and the child had no say so in it.

Some countries still marry their children off.

Once again, this goes to show that on the most fundamental level Obama does not understand America.

Aisha was at age 13, a widow, since she was 11 when Mohammed died...

Several years ago a Gay acquaintance asked why I was against gay. I told her that I would support it if she would support my right to marry my 1966 MGB, 5 year old Shitzu, and the really hot looking 30 year old next door, all at the same time.

I think she got the point since she never raised the issue again.
