I don't get why a such law took so long, but late is better than never.

Swearing won't make your argument stronger. It's just rude.

My comment wasn't in relation to child marriages. That is wrong and illegal in most countries. The debate is because an American doesn't really understand the context in other countries.

Here in the UK, age of consent is 16. Most have already been at stuff at 14, 15 etc. All raising age does is punish 17 year olds getting busy. A 16 and 17 year old had sex in Dubai, both from the UK where it is legal. He got locked up when her mum reported it. It'll just create criminal records for young folk and you know it'll not be enforced with white youths. Just another way to swell the prison population.

US are weirdly prudish when it comes to sex yet award ceremonies and the young are watching the celebs walk in in see through clothes. Truly baffling to outside observers.

And also Americans are prudish if Jane Jackson shows a tit but are happy exposing children to militarism so they can die twenty years later.

Pretty progressive I guess, no abortion before birth but instead it's at the 76th trimester.
