Are we here promoting underage sex or autism rights????

I was under the impression that we were talking about teenagers legally old enough to engage in sex so my argument was directed at those aged 16 - 19 years old which was why I though you're argument to be a little OTT.

in the US 16-18 is still considered to be minors and not able to give consent

Then I guess I am condoning it after all  :shock:

Here in the UK it's from 16 years old for any sexuality. I don't have any problem with the way it stands.

If NAAR, CAN or the media have a problem with my opinions they can take it up with the British goverment  :lol:

for the kids to download porn? As a parent, I certainly don't want to waste my money on this kind of rubbish or have my kids wasting time on it. Some of this stuff is seriously sick eg. people doing it with animals, torture and child abuse so I don't think kids should have open slather on watching it. As Lili Marlene said, the world would be far better off without this cr@p.

I agree that you can't stop kids from experimenting with sex but don't think it should be encouraged as much as it is now. It's one thing to be physically mature enough to have sex (often kids are going through puberty much earlier than in previous generations) and quite another to have the emotional maturity to deal with a relationship with another person.

What happens if there is an unplanned pregnancy or a disease is caught? Gay people can catch diseases even though pregnancy is not an issue.
I don't believe in abortion so have told my girls if they get pregnant I will help out with looking after the baby so they can finish their schooling.

I helped out when my sister fell pregnant at 15.

for the kids to download porn?

No, I was talking about kids aged 16 and over having consentual sex.

But now you mention it I don't have too much of a problem with 16 year olds downloading a few pics to masterbate to or use as a sex aid.

No-one should be allowed to watch it, it's illegal here as it is in most civilised countries (as far as I know). Pictures of children engaging in sexual acts is not pornography, it's photographic evidence of child abuse as far as I'm concerned.

I guess my concern was not only about kids being exposed to noxious images on the net but also about parents being lumbered with the cost.
Some parents have got huge phone bills and then found their teenager has been going onto all these "adult" sites. I believe you can get a bar put on your phone to prevent this.

What counts as being noxious though?

That sounds closer to a discipline problem than a immorale one, if you catch my drift. What about parents who don't ever recive any such bills? Is there no problem there?

hahahahah, go purrrgle!
