Ah, American laws…
So, suddenly a girl turns 18 and she’s mature and prepared enough to date a guy over 18, but few hours before she was, legally, not allowed.

No, that is not how it works. But can you propose a better way of deeming a girl mature enough to sleep with an adult? No, you can’t[/quote]
How’s not?
Adult with under 18* = Illegal.
Adult with over/and 18 = Legal.
Yes, I do, own judgement. Or are European 13-17 years old girls more mature, by default, than American (and Turkish to that extend) girls?
*Depending the estate I guess. [/quote]
So you propose giving everyone the right to make their “own judgement” as to whether or not they are mature enough to be having sex with adults? You have to see the flaws in this…
What i was saying is that being under 18 does not mean you don’t have the maturity to have sex with older people just as being over 18 doesn’t mean you do have the maturity for it. Everyone knows that including those who wrote the law. But the problem is, you can’t define when each individual girl and boy in this country is mature enough to have sex with older people, so even though it is flawed, setting an age marker is the best option.

I fail to see your point. The law is 91 years old. Damn, most people dont live that long! Laws are there to protect (control) the masses. Some 17-year-old girls are more than capable/mature to hold an intimate/sexual relationship with an older guy. Some arent, and that is who the law is aimed at protecting, but everyone else has to live by those laws. Suddenly she isnt a 17-year-old who is/maybe/might be mature enough. She’s just a sheep that gets treated like all the others. When you do this to society, control them to the lowest common denominater, your really robbing yourself of the potential the “mature” ones have- AND I dont mean the potential for a bunch of old fat cats to snort crack of some cheerleaders tit.
Your telling the ‘exceptional’ sheep, “Sorry, I know your capable, but we have to treat you all the same.” So suddenly the capable sheep, seeing how they are treating just like their slower, dumber counterparts, regardless of their potential, dont have to try as hard anymore. So they stop trying. /tangent
No laws were broken, there is no story here. Lets be honest with ourselves and admit the only reason this made the news is because its been a long time since jailbait has had the spotlight.
