It hardly sounds like she was traumatised. I find it quite bemusing how the "age of consent" varies so much from place to place, even within the USA. I think some states say 21? While I'd like to think that any daughter of mine would be a snow white virgin until her wedding day, aged 37, it's not very... err... natural? _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

I laughed at that one myself  Yip, even the variation in alcohol and smoking ages too. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Alcohol doesn't vary anymore, 21 in all states. Basically the federal government said 21 years or lose federal funding.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

When I was at college, I had a girlfriend and we wanted to make an American holiday, when she turned 16, but we then worked out a) I would have to have separate rooms b) I would probably get banged up if I tried to sleep with her...  As it was, we split up shortly before she turned 16, so it wasn't an issue. Here in Germany, the legal age is 16, but if one party is under 18, the age difference can be a maximum of 3 years. Drinking is 16 for beer and wine and 18 for spirits - try and get teens to drink sensibly, before they can buy the hard stuff...

I knew I should have made that clearer - I was responding to JJ's: Though I've also learned about the federal funding bit now  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

When I first read "15 feet" I thought he meant 15 feet up, kinda like the mile high club but not so high I've only just figured out that it meant from several paces distance, and understood the "charisma" thing  I'm assuming your post was a nob joke :undefined winky: _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."
