What's your opinion about it? also are you a single mom / have you seen any single mom who got offended because of it?

A 14-year-old boy will be labeled as a sex offender for life after being arrested for having sex with his 12-year-old girlfriend — a “really sick” possibility, according to his family.

The unidentified seventh-grader has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child in Texas’ Harris County, despite a law that exempts some teens from being classified as sex offenders for having consensual sex with someone within three years of their age.

For instance, the so-called “Romeo and Juliet” law allows a 17-year-old to legally have sex with a 14-year-old. But that rule doesn’t apply if one of the parties is under 14 years of age, the Houston Chronicle reports.

“He had consensual sex with his little girlfriend and he loved her,” the teen’s mother told the newspaper. “And because he turned 14, they want to make him a sex offender, put him on the registry with pedophiles and child molesters — really sick and dangerous people.”

The boy’s lawyer said his client wouldn’t be facing charges and the possibility of registering as a sex offender had the teens been the same age, and he would be seen as the victim under the letter of the law if the other person was 18 or older.

“It defeats the whole purpose of the Romeo and Juliet defense where you have two people relatively close in age and maturity,” said the boy’s lawyer, Joseph Gutheinz. “You would think the law would be more sympathetic as you go younger, because both parties are immature.”

Attorneys in Texas said charges filed in connection to a consensual sexual relationship between minors aren’t rare in Harris County.

“I had that exact fact pattern that I fought for a year,” said Jackie Stewart Gravois, an attorney for the Harris County Public Defender’s Office. “They ended up dismissing it because, ultimately, everyone agreed it was a consensual act.”

Prosecutors in that case were assured there was no violence or threat of force between the students, who were also in junior high at the time, Gravois said.

She's 18 and I thought she was a virgin. She didn't lie about it but she certainly gave me the impression that she was and she made me wait for 4 months before we had sex. After we had sex and she told me the truth I ended it just because I don't want to be in a relationship with a woman who's been with other men.

I told some of my girl-friends and they got upset at me. My guy friends understood though. I think I'm entitled to my preferences. I'm tall and no one gets angry at me for liking short girls, so why is it bad if I'm not a virgin who only wants to marry a virgin? I think that my friends were out of line.

I think he is right.

There's countries with low birth rates that give out incentives for people to start having more kids; do you think they should give even more incentives to attractive people to breed, in order to reduce the amount of unattractive people in the world?
And do you also think they should penalize those unattractive couples that reproduce?
Couples where one of the parents is considered attractive while the other isn't, won't get any benefits out of it.

For those wondering how could we determine who's attractive and who's not since beauty is subjective, well, we could use a computer to determine who's attractive and who's not. There's certain traits that are considered attractive by most people. We could input all this data in a computer and let it decide.

Generally people don't like hearing the hard truth no matter how you say it. So if I see or sense a person doesn't like to hear the truth about a situation or themselves, I have come to the conclusion to just let them go their way without telling them nothing to avoid drama, especially in person. I just don't see the point in arguing with someone that likes to believe lies anymore.

I hate the Freemasonry. Secret societies should be banned, they are not trustworthy. Did you know that only men can join a lodge? Only rich men? Also, even their wives cannot know a single stuff of what they really do in their meetings! Why keep too much secret? That does not smell good.

Saw someone post this on another question and figured, would people agree with this?
