Title: People are stupid
Post by: Vgr on 2012-12-04 22:48:25
Yeah, I know I'm stating the obvious. But seriously, people become more stupid everyday. And I'm not talking about babies.

I know some boys in my entourage whose brain is under their belt. And it's just stupid. And then one of them I knew went after some mentally-disturbed girl. Said girl is what, 14 years old? The guy in question will be 20 soon. And nobody says anything. What has this world become? Someone tell me, I'm lost here.

Whilst that may be silly by today's standards and jailable, biologically speaking, it is not abnormal.  The greater the age gap the bigger the issue is imho.  For example, if a 17 year old was with a 15 year old, he would be almost vilified as a paedophile in Britain, which I think would be stupid.  In Sweden the age of consent is 15, in Britain it is 16.  I think 16 is probably the best age if we want to be legal about it, but morally this question is not so clear cut.

The age difference is far more important to me when talking about 14,15,16 year olds than any man-made law.  Of course, it all depends on circumstance.  A 20 year old who was taking advantage of a 14 year old (maybe with learning difficulties) is a whole different comparison.  And 20 with 14 is quite a large gap if we are honest.  Nethertheless, by today's law you are risking jail and being very silly.

What is the age of consent in America?  18?

If you can stand up to this on a forum, do it in reality.

@ dlpb,
In Vgr's land its 16, but 18 for anal intercourse!

It varies by state.  In SC, 16 is legal across the board.  14 is legal if you're 18 (and it might also be required that you're attending the same school).

Before the mid-20th century, the age of marriage was typically 12.

It's funny isn't how how social norms have completely changed and if that happened today, you'd be chased down the street by that mob out of Beauty and the Beast.

Also, thanks for that Bear, nice to see some common sense with the age gap problem I mentioned.

I know. Was just pointing out how people can be stupid sometimes.

Dude, that's rape.  Make an anonymous call to her parents and to the cops.

Nothing has happened yet, and while that girl might not have her whole head, I doubt it could actually be anything really troublesome. The thing is, I don't really care about that girl one tiny bit anymore. Lets just say that she's [a manipulator] my ex.

Also laws are sometimes stupid. Common sense, too, is. It also all comes down to age. My mother and step-father have a 10-years gap between them, but at the age they're at, it doesn't seem wrong or anything.

When I was 21 I had a girlfriend who just turned 17. Nobody thinks thats strange here in the Netherlands and I don't see why people would. In a way, she was more mature then me. :)

1 * 0.5 = 0.5 + 7 = 7.5. Seems legit :D

21-17 isn't too bad, since 17 is almost adult. But if you were 16 and she was 12, THEN it would have been weird.

That's completely legal here and so it should be.  Even 60 with 16 is.  It would be frowned on of course, but legally it is ok.   We are talking about a girl who has a brain in her head, has reached maturity and chooses to have sex.

But then 1 isn't older. The earliest that this math works is if they are the same age, 14. People younger than that probably shouldn't be dating anyway.

keyword: should. but they do. sadly. people get all heartbroken at 12 or so, and then they say their life is over. Get over it, damnit. It's not one person that can ruin your whole life.

Also, is there a way to make posts in CU not count in the total? I know this is possible somehow with SFM but just wondering.

Edit: err Simple Machines Forums, not Source Film Maker (still close enough)

What I result is that there are many of us with a crazy story on our back... and I thought I was the only one going through rough times on most of my relationships. Like a youtube friend noted, "someday we deserve to live the love without the drama".

In the 14th century, marrying your sister and fucking your sister wasn't unusual

Just because something was normal in the past doesn't mean its still valid as such

It was not socially acceptable (and nor is it healthy or biologically normal due to genetic defects caused by inbreeding).  Your comparison is not fair or relevant in the slightest.

I heard of a village somewhere in Europe where they could only have children with each other since they were too away from the rest of the world. I even know of an Albino, and besides the lack of pigmentation in his hair, I couldn't tell. Well ok it's a rather obvious point. I don't know much about these besides the fact they may have some genetical problems.

Today schools were closed because of a snowstorm. This was perfectly understandable, as roads weren't exactly the most beautiful. What isn't understandable is the fact that, in the past, there have been worse days than this one (once there was so much ice on the roads that buses could barely move at some points, or so much snow that I had to literally hit the snow with my boots to be able to pass in less than 2 feet of snow), and schools weren't closed. I'll never understand those guys.

Also witness, thanks again for the GBA games, I'm still playing them. Playing FFI now :D

Vgr, is it normal for people your age to talk to possible girlfriends/boyfriends about the intimate details of your current relationship?

Error: name 'normal' is invalid!

Nothing or nobody's 'normal'. But define normal first. And what do you mesn exactly?

Sucks that your PSP was stolen.  Glad you're enjoying FF1.  What are you doing in it right now?

Yeah it sucks, I'd totally play Project Diva. I just got the Earth cristal (the first cristal! whoo!) but I don't know what to do now. Don't tell me! I've already ruined many games because I checked answers on the net, not gonna do that again. I'm gonna finish it all alone and enjoy it to the end.

It's not taboo in Islam sadly, which is why there are a lot of genetic defects happening in their population.  In Britain, Bradford has up to 50% or more having offspring with 1st cousins.  I don't think it is actually illegal in britain (Queen Victoria did it supposedly)  but it is definitely harmful.

From what I've observed, she's' utterly incapable of deception and manipulation, and her gestures and affects are completely genuine.  Not to mention adorable.

More than that, she showed me kindness... I can't help but love anyone who shows me kindness. 

So, when she told me that stuff, she was telling it to me because she's naive and didn't really know it was wrong.

In the end, I told her everything, and then she said that she couldn't hang out with someone knowing that person is attracted to her.

Chill out... don't forget she's a woman after all...

I've been alone for too f*cking long.
Being hurt or not...that's the only truth (every time)... welcome to the club...

I have 300 messages of pure love and devotion and now she's with her husband who was accusing to me. She's thrown away her sim card, I have no way of contacting her and no one is supposed to learn anything about what happened between us. I'm left only with pictures of her hugging her man from the neck smiling "happily ever after" and comments of dozens of how beautiful couple they are... how hypocritical life is... and about FaceBook...? pure virtual reality... :(

So, for once more, we end up that the only "meaning of life" now is when bootleg 0040 is going to be released...

300 messages were from her part... it's so weird this is happening in a public forum wth... lol I would love to discuss this personally and give you an advice but what kind of advice can give you someone that is already burnt... there's no solution for women... either something exists or not... there are no explanations... centuries of research for the woman's mind and nothing is given for granted... there are no codes or patterns I'm sorry...

P.S.: Sorry I'm not reading all this... I already have my 300  messages... I'm already burnt...

Education and confidence doesn't really matter for Greek women though...I'm an  educated scientist with my own business and an appealing appearance as others say to me but still getting rejected by most of them. It's all collapsing here now financially and socially... relationships between people become worse day by day and we all wish all 2012 speculations were true in one way... :)

TL;DR witness, tl;dr.

I know who you are, but I have no clue who she is. And since you trusted me with what could make the difference between losing anything and survive a bit longer (or that's what I understood, you sent me the games and I paid you when I received them), I'm not gonna spit out that information. Keep in mind I'll always be open to help out people, so if you need to talk, you've got my Facebook. Also IRC.

Yep, and it takes a lot of balls for us to develop a relationship with men :P  Btw, I take no offense to the perceptions of women written here. Not sure I can say the same for others :wink:

So, for once more, we end up that the only "meaning of life" now is when bootleg 0040 is going to be released...

@EQ2Alyza I wasn't meant to be disrespectful anyway...some things are just in women's nature... just like some others are in men's... so there's no point taking offense after all ;)
