What state are you in??

Again, you are being utterly irrelevant. I do not care what you consider the age of criminal responsibility to be. I am simply quoting your country's laws as they stand. Those are the age of consent laws and the punishments for breaking them. I really don't care about anything else; I was just supplying the info Corran wanted.

Thats the contradiction! How can you have a law when theres no punishement! either that or your misinterperting it.

I still fail to see what your problem is. And I cannot be misinterpreting it. I am making no interpretation at all., I am simply saying what it is. You are introducing irrelevant complexity.

THAT is your age of consent law. That is all.

i said the law was a contradition and you said it wasn't.
the point is you cant have a law when there is no punishment!
Lets get back to the topic of the thread,please?!

For the ABSOLUTELY LAST TIME- that IS your law. That is what it is. There is no contradiction. I have no idea why you have complicated the subject with all sorts of weird talk of at what ages it is applicable to an offender. That has nothing to do with what I was saying at all. If only you had understood this simple concept the thread would not be off-topic in the first place. I have simply given your age of consent laws. I made NO comment on how old you had to be for you to be arrested for them. That was your commentary, and irrelevant it was as well.

To answer Corran's question- the age of consent in Portugal is 16 for homosexuals, 14 for heterosexuals. He, at least, will understand what I mean without all the garbage you put in the way, Kes.

Ok, back to subject.

WHATEVER!

Isn't the lottery paid as a salary(sp)? like every month you get a bit of the money?😕
