3. It's so sad that gay sex is banned

in so many countries. :( :cry:

4. and isn't it interesting...

that so many of those have no legal age of consent for females? I also noticed Missouri, and another state Idaho(?) list the female's consent age at 14.

6. Another odd one: Madagascar Age of Consent is 21. Four years past my prime

Oh, and Northern Arizona the age of consent is 17 for girls and 37 for boys. That seems odd.

8. Northern Arizona?

hmmm...they may be on to something.

5. Interesting: the Bolivia Botswana connection...

Bolivia - Age of Consent: 14f/16m
Botswana- Age of Consent: 16f/14m

Do I see some young magic in the air?

7. What about the age of Majority?

What about the fact that many state consent laws carry a parental permission rider? What about the fact that international consent laws do not apply when Foley was in the US when he made online contact with the pages?

Personally, I think all US consent laws should be raised to the age of majority. The age where one can sign contracts and vote.

9. You've got to be kidding!

No sex until 18? You would criminalize millions of our kids.

10. No, it would criminalize the adults having sex with them
