once again, it is not 18 in america.
Hmmm, that's really odd. There's no way. I'm almost positive it's 18. Not 16.
Depends on what state you're in. In Washington State (where I live) it's 16. Some states have it at 16. Some have it at 18. Some at 17. It's 16 in my state, though. Personally, I think it should be 16 everywhere. (with exceptions for people who are close in age, of course; between 14 and 15/16/maybe 17 yr olds, between 15 and 16/17/maybe 18 yr olds, and that sort of thing.) I've heard of the laws on it in California, and holy shit, they are absurdly strict. Let's say you are a 15 yr old in California who has sex with another 15 yr old. Well, if you were caught, there could be SERIOUS punishments for the both of you. I think that's wrong. The laws on this EVERYWHERE should be the way they are in places like Washington (my state) and Canada, because those laws are actually fair and make more sense.
