Do you agree that the age of consent here in the United States should be lowered to 15 like France just did?

[iamaMAP]

I agree

I disagree

I think there should be limits on the age difference and other factors. In Japan, the age of consent is 13, but some local city governments have raised it a little higher. There is a thing where the minor has to be in a relationship with the older person, and that relationship has to be approved by their parents. Naturally, parents are not going to approve of someone too old.
Another thing is that our laws unofficially seem to only apply if the minor is a girl and the older person is a man. I have never seen a woman get charged for being with a younger boy.

[LazerBean]

MAP stands for "Minor attracted person". Aka pedophile. No, pedophile, I do not think it should be lowered to 18.

[iamaMAP]

Alright, thanks for your opinion.

[FunkyMonkee]

I just found out last night that most of the states are already at 16! I think should be low enough. Besides, girls much younger than that aren't exactly ready for pregnancy. And, if one gets knocked up and the guy that did it leaves her to fend for the kid, how can she do so when she can't even get a job, yet?

[MuddyMole]

As long as there are also the usual accompanying rules, so it would still be illegal if there's an age-gap of more than a year or two, or if one is in a position of trust/power, etc. I doubt it would actually even have much of an effect - the ones who would do it, are probably already going to do it anyway.

[pewter_moon]

I imagine the only people who would want this are the people willing to victimize those of younger age brackets. Most people want to protect children.

[acooke-13]

Absolutely not. Only a pedophile would agree with this.

[Agape93]

@PrettyPriya
Also his screen name, I am a MAP is rather telling, because MAP stands for Minor Attracted Person, a term for pedophile

[PrettyPriya]

I was made aware of this. User is not longer active.

[Agape93]

Apparently the account is inactive. Ffs these people need to die

[Agape93]

Ah nevermind lol

[Amarah0]

I think it should be 16 if you are 18 and under. But 18 if you are over 18

Like a 20 year old can't get with a 16-17 year old

[iamaMAP]

Interesting ok.

[misogynistic_pig]

Yes, in my country, Colombia, it is 14 years old.

[TheVigilantOne]

Only a pedophile would ask such a thing, no the age of consent shouldn’t be lowered.

[Pete671]

I disagree, but would thoroughly support any form of "Juliets law",,, too many aggresive blokes take advantage,,,

[TroyDT2]

No. If anything it should be raised nationwide to the legal age of adulthood.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Between two 15 year olds sure but a 15 and an adult….. *aggressively forces myself to vomit all of my own internal organs*

[Anonymous]

Oh no, we have found another g@g pedophile. This is sick.

[ArtieWhitefox]

God is interested in seeing himself in us. God does not look at age.

[Anonymous]

No. I'm not a pedophile so I don't agree that the age of consent should be lowered to 15.

[iamaMAP]

You have the right to that opinion.

[Anonymous]

18 is already enough... how low do you wanna go sicko?

[iamaMAP]

Why are you being hostile?

[Opinion Owner]

I mean do you see stupid on some people's foreheads lol. I know what "MAP" stands for... why do you think it should be lowered tho at all?

[iamaMAP]

Well first of all it's not sick it's just a preference like anyone else. Second in Ancient times like in Ancient Rome it was normal. Todays modern society bases things off of man made "morals" and not by nature.

[Opinion Owner]

@iamamap its not illegal to feel attraction but going beyond that like anything sexual you're asking for trouble to be honest. Maybe i exaggerated a bit but when i was a teen i was groomed by a man that was much older... you can believe what you like but it's not always the same with a younger girl and older guy vs a younger guy and older woman sometimes. At least that left some emotional damage on my end but i do know not all guys are the same it's just creepy in a way if their only set on one group of girls

[iamaMAP]

mhmm ok

[ShellyB]

They also had slaves in ancient Rome do you think we should do that too? Some ancient cultures would sacrifice people and cut out their hearts maybe that is also a great idea! Wanting to victimize children is not "a preference just like any preference." JMO!

[888theGreat]

only a pedophile would think so

[iamaMAP]

So do you agree or not?

[888theGreat]

I think any man or woman having sex with anyone 15 or under ,, should go to prison forever or made to find land mines for the troops

[iamaMAP]

Well that is very rude and psychopathic thinking of you. But that's your opinion I guess...

[PrettyPriya]

@imaPedo So, you think it is rude to want people that want to think of sleeping with 15 year old children to go to prison?

Go ahead and block me, I’ve got your username to just about every moderated on the site, as well as admin, who you cannot hide from.

Way to turn up the creep factor.

[Cubus]

Absolutely not

[CoolTeen]

I don't think it should be lowered.

[iamaMAP]

Why do you think that?

[CoolTeen]

I think teens to mature more to make that decision.

[iamaMAP]

I see, thanks for your input though.

[CoolTeen]

Ok 👌

[Iron_Man]

Too young

[iamaMAP]

What age do you suggest then 16 or 17 as it is in some States already?

[Iron_Man]

I don’t feel women should be dating until 18

[Anonymous]

Should be lowered to 14 tbh

[joeldalton]

no. Gross

[SmokinAces2000]

Are you a pedophile?

[SmokinAces2000]

Oh you most definitely are, just read your name

[Joker_]
