The idea that under a certain age you bear NO responsibility for your actions, and then BANG at a specific birthday you bear it all is not logical - legal maybe but not logical.

I agree. Either a 14-year-old is capable of responsible decision making, or not. The law says she isn't, if she wants to have sex with a 21-year-old (or a 41-year-old), but she is, if she wants to have sex with a 17-year-old or get an abortion afterward.

Once the society says that sexual activity for unmarried people is a good thing, there is no logical point to draw a legal line, short of physical coercion.

Some members of the group told CBS 11 the girl identified herself as a 19-year-old and never knew she was 14. Honest we did!/sarc

Have you seen some 14 year olds these days? 14 going on 21, easily.

Think about mannerisms and not visual. It is the mannerisms that clue card checkers at bars and such.

I've been going to Tea Party Rallies for 3 years now and I have yet to see a single situation like the ones being reported coming from the OWS Hippie Infestation.

Totally different element of society. The tea partiers are responsible adults who are tired of getting robbed by the government to pay for the worthless parasites who vote for a living rather than work for it. The Occupy forces are the worthless parasites.

Quite true and logical - bureaucrats and politicians everywhere hate you for saying it. :-)

Much as I detest the entire "occupy etc." movement, this underage sex thing is a distraction from the bottom line, and that is that these people are demonstrating to sway government to rob more from the responsible and give it to the irresponsible.

Not always. In my church when I was a teenager, a good many years ago, there was a young lady who looked early 20s when she was 12.

Swear to God. A stunningly attractive early 20s.

Aware of stimilar situations, I bet you are correct they have been having a tough time with this kid. From what I gather, it is not uncommon these days...run away, shack up with some prevert, get raped, and don’t report it. Generally the shack up is some scum bag. Future ruined, even if they get out of that drifter lifestyle. Sad. Sad also for the future spouse who will have to deal with that mental baggage.

Yes, you have described the "movement" very precisely.

These card checkers are experts, or at least more experienced in these matters than your average horny young male.

No protest is complete without a 14 year old runaway...

“God bless them,” Pelosi said, “for their spontaneity. It’s independent ... it’s young, it’s spontaneous, and it’s focused. And it’s going to be effective.”

[Scoutmaster]

She initially told officers that she had sex with a man in his early twenties and had engaged in sexual activity with several other people.

Sex with one man and 'sexual activity' with several other people? Let's consult the expert.

"She did not have sexual activity with those other people! Depending on what your definition of 'is' is, of course."

JUST LIKE THE TEA PARTY MY ASS!

Even if a teen is willing, adults are still responsible for their choice. We’re the adults and they are children. We’re supposed to protect children from predators, no be the predator.

You didn't understand anything in my post did you?
