Yes... so your point there is odd. As 16 is the AOC, the law in fact says the opposite- that a 16 year old CAN make that decision.And so it is not really anyone's business to criticise the legal private activities of two consenting adults.
You';re right, it wasnt meant to be a point, i was just stating what i believed - kinda worded it wrong...
But a 16 year old is technically NOT an adult, right? Besides, if thats true, then why cant two gay men under the age of 18 have sex? (well they can, but its illegal?)

That's not true. Labour equalised that to 16 years ago by use of the Parliament act.
sorry🙁😮

Yeah I don't know why two men under that age can't have sex it's stupid. I don't think there should be an age limit at all, you should do it when you want. People who are maybe 18 or 19 or so and are still virgins may not feel as pressured then as they won't think "Oh, i'm like 3 years older than the age limit" or whatever
Anyone can grow weed, harder for the government to make a profit. Tax drugs= good, legal drugs. Coincidentally the ones that cause death.
Someone bump the drugs thread for that.

On topic:
Age is being equated to having able mind.
By being an adult you aren't immediately bestowed with a common sense and danger radar. 16 is legal and therefore it isn't wrong. As Milla said, if there is any problem it should be morally, coz it's technically legal. I don't see anything morally wrong with it but others might.

oh has it...well i was just going along with what someone else said...i didn't actually know myself i just assumed they were right. but still as i said, i think there shouldn't be an age limit. it's not like when 2 14 year old's have sex that someone is gona find out and tell the police and arrest them is it? it's like if you're 15 you could well be ready and then you trust your partner and everything and then it's actually illegal to have sex, it's not like you're gonna bear that in mind is it?
