Lowering age of consent to 16 in all USA states, to eliminate taxpayer waste on incarceration and legal costs, good or bad idea?

the USA has a very high age of consent in the world, i think registering someone as a sex offender, legal costs in court, incarceration, is a taxpayer waste of money for having sex with a 16 or 17 year old, the country is still in a recession and should look into this to cut government waste of money

  • I don't believe you. It's a bad idea. It's pretty obvious if a girl is under 18.

  • There is actually no good reason for it

  • You should never do something just because it saves money. A 16 year old is still very much a child so I disagree.

    • most of the world is 16 for age of consent, is the rest of the world wrong?

    • It's obviously an opinion but I think so. I don't think we should do something just because "everyone else is doing it".

  • I think we should lower the age anyway. Incarceration is over rated, and accomplishes little besides corporate profits.

  • Is it that hard to keep your 30 something year old dick out of minors?

    • I'm actually fine with the age of consent being 16, but your fervor for it is kind of ridiculous. I also think teen relationships with vastly mismatched ages tend to be manipulative and not beneficial - legal or not.

    • For the record, I also stringently support throwing the book at women who have sex with minors. Especially teachers and other sickos in authority.

  • it's 16 in france not 15

  • I think we should stop spending money in drug users and focus on the ones selling it. That should save some money.

  • Kids certainly have sex by the age of 16 so its ludicrous to punish those who have sex with 16 year olds just because they are older than 16 especially as its only enforced on men and women dont have to register as a sex offender for the same crime. I moved to England where the age of consent is sixteen for sex and marriage and married my bride who's sixteen and pregnant with our first child, when she turns eighteen I plan to move back to the states.

  • I would love that. are they really doing it?

  • Why on earth would a 30-35 year old man ask this question? I'll bet anything that you just want to prey on kids in high school. If a teenager asked this it would be understandable, but you're a fucking GROWN MAN. This question is some kind of lame excuse to cover up your desire to fuck a 16 year-old.

    • some of the USA states are age 16, are those states in the wrong? would u raise the age of consent in those states?

    • Yes, I would. Although, I'd make it legal for a teen to have sex with another teen, while it's still very much illegal for a grown adult to fuck a teenager.

    • Or maybe he doesn't think a 19 year old should be put on a sex offender list for sleeping with a 17 year old.

  • Bad idea

  • I dont know why The age of consent is 18 in the United States. Plenty of people here are having sex at a younger age than that and it's completely natural.

  • Allowing sexual contact when the age difference is below x years would be a better idea.
