Well this seems to induce a mathematical paradox if you're less than 14, see:

(13 / 2) + 7 = 13.5

Which means that you're forced to date people that are older than you. It's kind of a problem if you're only 3: (3 / 2) + 7 = 8.5

And I'm sure a lot of less than 10 year old people wanna have sex, so your formula sounds like the open door for legal paedophilia :eek::eek::eek: you are crazy acoustic!! crazy!! :eek:

Oh right. I forgor to include the disclaimer: People under 14 should not date.

We can't have 1 year olds dating 7 1/2 year olds.

But anyway, the equation would have to work in both directions. Someone who's 13 would need to date someone older, but the older person would need someone older as well. Thus, the relationship implodes and jail time is issued. It works itself out.

again, for the sake of being informative on the SY gossip forum, while the gramatically correct form would indeed be "Ich bin Berliner", a lot of Berliner would (apparently) also say "Ich bin ein Berliner" and would be understood...

^^^Selbstverstaendlich hast du Recht, aber ich bervorzuege mein Version, weil es fuer mich witziger ist :)

Naja, verzeihung, ich muss eigentlich zugeben, dass es so einfach witziger ist...
Ich war übrigens ein bisschen enttäuscht, dass Obama nicht versucht hat, ähnliche Scherze am Donnerstag zu machen...

I like that.

In Australia, it's 16.
I'm legal

crypto: it's fine, i think there's +/- 3 yrs acceptance anyway, as far as bending the law goes...here, let me explain it this way...
if a girl has not yet reached the age of consent, say she's 17 years old, she can have sex with anyone who is exactly 3 years older than her, or anyone younger.

What year is the "you can't have sex with anyone at all, you sick toddler" age?

viewtiful_alan 07.26.2008 10:00 PM

You shouln't. Psh 14 year olds aren't innocent at all, 17 year olds even less so XD
Oh America, when will you realize that most teenage girls are far from innocent?

I actually think it's illegal to have sex at the age of 14.

Cantankerous 07.26.2008 10:07 PM

it varies from state to state

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of..._North_America

it's all very confusing

in missouri it's 14 for males and 17 for females? what?

no 17 year old girl wants to have sex with a 14 year old boy. stupid, stupid, sexist law.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.26.2008 10:16 PM

I've heard of such thing. But based the the people it's almost exspected.

Cantankerous 07.26.2008 10:17 PM

boys mature way slower than girls. but the law should be the same for everyone.
