- Norweed, on 10/12/2007, -5/+48Nothing illegal about 16 here in PA. ;-)
- justinjacobs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44Yep, no problems with 16 here in MA. But I still feel a bit weirder each year I move away from 16 (I'm 18 currently).

...or Indiana, or Michigan, or Hawaii, or RI, or a lot of other states.

Edit: I sure am glad no one else here at work saw me googling "age of sexual consent" - soogy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29Well, at least they're going after the right gender this time. On the Republican radar, pedophilia doesn't rank very high; it only matters if you're a homosexual.
"That's what I love about high school girls. No matter how old I get, they always stay the same age."
In other news, the Democrats shock the nation by... continuing to do nothing. - sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -9/+32You're John Mark Karr, aren't you?
- Joe091, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1916 is legal in lots of states. The hard part is putting up with a 16 year old long enough to get them naked.
- useful, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24Wouldn't it be funny if this was a democrat and the GOP tries to spin it as the homosexuals cant help themselves but the heterosexuals should know better.

Except Google and their indefinite record holding policies.
Alright, I'll be fair. You can't be linked to that search after 2038, when Google's cookies expire. :-) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17FYI...16 is legal in Detroit and Canada. Plus the Canadian girls usually arent fat pigs.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Only in Washington could rumors = truth.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13They need to lower the drinking age to make that easier.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13FYI: Legal age in Canada is 14.
- musntSurfatWork, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Don't you just love fabricated media gossip? Why, without it, the american economy would suffer a tremedous hit. It's big business people. (chucks TV out of house)
- ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Giggity...

But, our network is behind a NAT. They couldn't link it to me... only to our office. =P - R3yDigg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11But their faces man their faces.
- thefirelane, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Wait, the WSJ told me that republicans would have acted sooner on Foley, but 'these politically correct times' prevented them from doing so out of fear of being homophobic. There's no way they'd cover up a sex scandal with a girl!
- kaz928, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10That comment reminded me of this picture http://data1.blog.de/blog/m/mechafanboy/img/euro_vs_america.jpg

If you've logged into gmail from your work computer, they got a cookie on you, and are using that to track you. IP address doesn't matter. - misterjoanna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6In North Carolina there is a sort of "stagger law" meaning the age of sexual consent changes depending upon the ages of both parties.
Which means that sometimes math is involved in foreplay. - terrya64, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Why is this news, since the age of consent in DC is 16?
- merr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@killtherat
Damn. Didn't think of that. I'll have to remember to logout of Google Accounts and clear my cookies from now on when I want to search for questionable things... or use a different search engine. - dblood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@merr
Also make sure you have search history for google turned off, or delete it out of there. I would love to see the personalized results you get now :) - AtHomeBoy2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4ahhhh.... good ol' fashioned STRAIGHT pedaphilia.
- toasty168, on 10/12/2007, -13/+17burn republicans! burn!!!!!!
Oh yeah, and don't forget to vote!! - ccheath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think that would be sad more than funny
- merr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4hmm... Maybe my above comment is wrong. I've found different definitions in several different places.
Wait... Why the hell do I keep searching for this stuff? Well, I'm only 20. That's not as bad as if I was 40 or 50 and querying this stuff, right? RIGHT? =P - Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4So a congressman hitting on 16 year olds is only an issue if 1) it's gay, or 2) it's illegal? Excuse me, most of these guys are married and purport to be upstanding individuals. Hitting on youthful pages is an abuse of power, contrary to their stated morals, and just plain creepy. They should be ousted even if no crime is committed.
- ivachen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4If a 16 year old girl having sex with a 16 year old boy in MA, is she raping him?
MA female/male: 16 (f) 18 (m) - merr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@ivachen
No... "age of sexual consent" is defined as the age that someone is legally thought capable of consenting to sex with an *adult*
I think if both parties are under 18, it doesn't really matter... as long as it can't be classified as child molestation. For example, I would imagine it's not acceptable for a 17 year old to have sex with a 9 year old. (ewww) - StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Stewart, as usual, said it best. Equating homosexuality with a Congressman who preys on underage pages might be one reason they're accused of gay bashing.
- Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Well after reading that off-topic, poorly spelled rant, how could they not vote democrat, Tex?
(/sarcasm) - gruvsf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4don't forget! It's Bill Clinton's fault! (unless it's something that the GOP can claim as good news, then it's Bush's achievement)
- ccheath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3unless you're in south carolina
http://www.coolnurse.com/consent.htm (via user merr upthread) - Niffer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You know Monica was 20 something?
- gruvsf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@Johnnycashak
I don't think that ever stopped Fox news from making many of their "claims" or any of the right-wingers who "claimed" that the Dems somehow was responsible for the Foley scandal, but when asked by Wolf Blitzer if they had any proof, they responded by asking Wolf if he had any evidence that they didn't have the info. Wow-what has this country gone to?
"Err...i think he killed that guy"
"Do you have any evidence that he did?"
"Err...do you have any evidence that he didn't?"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=BPGrfRMvjMw - thestorey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Thats more like it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The Criminal Code does not now criminalize consensual sexual activity with or between persons 14 or over, unless it takes place in a relationship of trust or dependency, in which case sexual activity with persons over 14 but under 18 can constitute an offence, notwithstanding their consent. Even consensual activity with those under 14 but over 12 may not be an offence if the accused is under 16 and less than two years older than the complainant. The exception, of course, is anal intercourse, to which unmarried persons under 18 cannot legally consent, although both the Ontario Court of Appeal(3) and the Quebec Court of Appeal(4) have struck down the relevant section of the Criminal Code.
In other words, yes, the legal age in Canada is 14, with some exceptions. I wouldn't do anal, if you're planning to get caught.
But this might be changed in the near future. - ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2actually, p(a)edophilia is the sexual attraction to PRE-pubescent children. But you'll get dugg for being funny :-P
- altcountryman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4You laugh, but that's probably their game plan.
- PopcornDave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Maybe because they're signing a photo release and as a minor they don't have the ability to do that? At least not a legally binding ability.
- mwace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2***** the mass media.
Soldiers and Iraqi citizens are still dying, thousands are dying of starvation, every city on the coastline is going to get boned by global warming if we don't _do_ something, and all the media can do is gossip about RUMORS of offical's sexual habits?! - TubaTechno, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5you know 16yr is the age of consent in DC, dont' you?
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3http://digg.com/tech_news/Canada_Plans_to_Raise_Age_of_Consent
- Valthonis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I am really curious about how this is going to change the landscape of the page abuse scandal (IFF it's proven true.) The mainstream media and many voters seem to make weird distinctions between when the victim is male and when the victim is female.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ok... so they can't confirm the allegation, investigation, or hell even the rumors... but this is worth being broadcast on national news? Is this media bias showing, or are they just really really really desperate for any kind of material to put in front of cameras? How long until we start seeing anchors with sock puppets on MSNBC?
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sweet, I'll finally be able to land a job.
- garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1billyboobs34,
Holy ***** *****. If you are 34, that is just ***** wrong... - unibomber999, on 10/12/2007, -10/+11What fun is being an elected official if you can't bang anyone you damn well please.
- PYREX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3it's 16 if the partner is no older than 18. when the partner is 55 it's illegal.
