That's what happens when you have three fucking definitions of "adult."

"You have to be 18 to smoke and fuck, except over here you can be 16, but to drink you need to be 21 but to get shot at by foreigners you can be 18."

If you're talking about the U.K, you have to be 18 to drink and have to look 21+ (maybe 25 i think) to buy, otherwise you have to show that you're 18 with I.D. :smug:

I'm talking about the US.

Hence, Rhode Island is a state in the US.

Come on, do you even read what you write?

People have different morals and ethics, live with it.

People being forced to wear their clothes is another relict of the times when morals were taken for granted.

I have no problem with you doing what the fuck you want, but 16 year old fucking girls being goddamn whores? Are you shitting me? Do you even know what the fucking hell you're talking about? Imagine a fat, greasy 50 year old man paying some poor desperate 16 year old hooker for sex because she needs it for your apparent valiant excuse of 'college'. There are hundreds of other ways of getting money through other jobs, being a whore is not something you should consider, there is a huge risk of sexually transmitted diseases, rape, drug use, criminal activity. Listen mate, 90% of whores you see around are drug users and low life's. They are whores for a reason, prostitution is illegal in most countries because its shameful and just fucking filthy, it also a nice profit for crime gangs.

So you want to prevent people from doing things because you think they're filthy?
Mind your own goddamn business.

Apparently, there is now law preventing minors with a work permit stripping for cash in a strip club, and with the age of consent being 16, and indoor prostitution being legal in RI you can have a legal hooker who's 16.

Greatest thing to come out of Rhode Island in a while.

Here ( in the Netherlands ) it's legal to have sex at 16 ( YAY for me ).

14 is different, they don't have the life experience, between 16 and 18 is when most teens first have sex, it's when they figure out -exactly- what's what with their bodies, not just some general idea of it.

If you're old enough, and of a sound enough mind to be convicted of murder and tried as an adult, you should be considered a full adult in the eyes of the law.

At least that's my opinion.

Giving an arbitrary age to adulthood is way too much gray area in my opinion. Some people support their families before they are legally able to drive, while some men in their 30's live at home with their parents, unable to take care of themselves.

What makes an adult is not their age, but of their character and mind.

However because this is a thread about consent of sex, you can blindly deny my argument because you have some sort of moral high-ground. :P

Good Game, sir.

[Alex_DeLarge]

At the age of 16, you can be tried in a court of law as an adult, you can emancipate from your parents, you can drop out from school, most 16 year olds have experimented with drugs and have lost their virginity long before that. Educate me, why do you people believe that they aren't old enough for this decision?

Also:

If the age of consent is 16, they ARE adults in all matters sexual.

Personally, in terms of intelligence, any teenager smart enough to know how to exploit their sexuality and another person's unwavering desire to throw money at them for moving in a slightly provocative, yet completely legal way, is the smartest kind of fucking kid that exists.

If I had to choose between hiring a straight A student and a 16 year old making several grand a MONTH on the basic principals of sexual manipulation, I will hire that 16 year old girl and make her a Public Relations executive. Anyone who knows how to manipulate people's lust for profit at such a young age has a very successful future ahead of them.

16 year old hookers.. morals aside, fuck yeah

It's part of a plan to increase sex offender immigration to Rhode Island, so that the state may be walled-in. It'll reduce legislation costs a lot.

Exploiting sex for gain isn't even exclusive to humans, much less something requiring brainpower. Lions, chimps, etc. will try and mate with the Alpha male because they're going to get the best food and healthiest offspring. That said, I would totally put a chimp as my head of Public Relations.

It is for monetary profit.

Point being, monkeys don't exploit sexuality. You don't see many female monkeys holding sex over the heads of their male counterparts while they go shoe shopping. What you described isn't exploiting sexuality for gain, it's simply sex in its native purpose.

If he/she can consent to having their brains fucked out at the age of 16, he/she can take their clothes off for money.

It isn't. That's the point. If a kid is capable of exploiting their environment and making several grand every month, that kid isn't a whore, that kid is a genius.

That's rhetorical. You don't.

Calling being a 16 year old stripper pragmatic is like calling a duck a communist. It's a philosophy, it has nothing to do with intelligence and in now way contradicts it.

Most, if not all, woman realize that exploiting sexuality is a great way to make money. It would be pragmatic to put abstracts, such as morality and personal values, below real things, like earning money.

I'm just saying choosing to be a hooker or stripper is about necessity or one's personally values, and not a matter of realizing that sex can be exploited. I'm not trying to argue this whole 16-year-old stripper thing is right or wrong, as it's neither.
Now if you'll excuse me, I don't have much stamina for debating, so I think I'll just stick to double entendres and new puns.
