I have plenty of things I could admit. If no one asks, however, I see no need to bring it up.

And that attitude has gotten me far in life!

Especially since the whole "furry" thing could make my head end up in a basket if I'm not careful! Good thing I'm not like "them"...

Also, respect to Adron. Age is good. Especially when you're so much "older", but share the interests of youngsters like myself. Not that I'm that young anymore... but I haven't changed since I was 14, anyway...

HERE COMES MY CONFESSION! OMG CAN YOU FEEL IT?! THE HAIRS STANDING ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK!!! >:O>:O>:O

... Right then. I have a girlfriend who's quite a bit older than me. 7 years older, to be exact. I'm 18. >_>

In a few of the male circle's of friends, having a seven year older girlfriend would be akin to a badge of honor, it doesn't matter to me though.

Hmm... Eighteen plus seven equals... Twenty-five... *Ponders* Yeah, it is a badge of honor.

I have a confession of similiar proportions. I have never dated a girl my age or older than me. I have only dated women younger than I. At the least, four months. At the most, three years.

Yeah, that quickly became a problem when I turned sixteen. It really sucks, because now... It's like "We're gonna jail you for doing something that only adults can do to children while you're still a child and as such, we're going to persecute you to the fullest extent of the law on adults." and stuff. They should've kept the age at eighteen. Do they even realize they're cutting off half of high from the other half? Juniors & seniors can only date juniors or seniors. Half the people you see in a Florida high school you can't date even though you're still in high school! It's so fucked up, man!

One of the top reasons I've stopped dating altogether.

I'm nearly six and a half years older than my fiancé. I'll be 32 in May, he'll be 26 in October. He was 19 and I was 25 when we met. And it's made very little difference. Might have helped that I took so long in college, while he was on-schedule, so our diplomas are only two years apart.

Is the restriction really on dating itself rather than on intimacy? Because one should not imply the other. Having been fifteen when I was in my first relationship, with an eighteen-year-old who was one grade ahead of me, I can certainly understand why that restriction should be there. There is no question that his greater age played a role in my not recognizing his attempt at statutory rape for what it was and kept me intimidated enough to not say anything about it when it would have made a difference. It would probably be a little pointless to try to prosecute him for it now, but make no mistake, I see nothing wrong with him being legally liable for what he did. Being in high school is no excuse for molesting your classmates.

The age restriction is on anything past kissing. Therefore, any touching of the intimate areas (Even with clothing on) is illegal in Florida if one of the participants is fifteen or younger. Even if they consent, it's statutory.

I have no idea how to spell that last word...

I'm pretty sure the law is on any contact that one of the parties decides to consider sexual.

However, with all sympathy toward those who are legitimate victims statuatory rape or attempted, I really take exception to the way the law seems in so many cases to be biased against males. In some cases, if two consenting underage kids are fooling around and the parents decide they don't like it they can get the boy thrown in juvenille. In some hypothetical yet entirely possible cases concerning the various differing laws on this matter for various different states, a couple could legally be married in one state, honeymoon to another, and if someone walks in on them consummating the marriage, the boy can, again, get thrown in juvenille. For something like third-degree sexual assault. That's ass-retarded. If the government wants to say "we are going to legislate against kids having sex under a certain age" then they should get their laws synced up and not make the boy categorically the bad guy.

From what I've been told, where I'm from (Alberta), the mimum legal age is 14 (technically, it's 12, actually; 14 is the minimum age for those over the age of 14, but if you're 12, you're allowed to do intamate stuff with someone who is in 2 years of your age. Or something bizarre like that)... Of course, I expect no less from a redneck conservative province such as Alberta.

And yeah. I could honestly care less if she's 25. In fact, it's nice in a lot of ways, as she's a lot more mature than girls my age who still act like they're in highschool.

>_> And some of the things i've corrupted her into doing... Mweh-heh-heh...

at the same time, though, you will always have to live with the consequences of other people's actions. just ask any black guy who's been pulled over or any person from the middle east who's tried to go through american airports.

I agree that the inequity is unfair. I can see the reasoning though, it being similar to the assumption that in any case of sexual misconduct between an adult and a minor it's the adult who is at fault for having the authority to be able to compel the minor to participate. Most males are larger than most females and more likely to be able to use physical intimidation whether or not they actually do so. I'm not agreeing with the idea that it's always the male's fault, and I dislike that kind of generalization legally or otherwise; I'm just saying that I understand why it's assumed.

In Maryland, it's illegal to have sex under that age of fourteen. It's only called rape if the guy is over seventeen, and the girl is under sixteen AND if it's against her will. If she consents, it's not illegal. Can legally get married at sixteen (with parental consent) or at eighteen (without parental consent). Absolutely no problem with dating, kissing, touching, anything, no matter what age, unless it's sexual. And again, it's not rape unless it's forced.

hmm, I dated a girl for about a year when I was fourteen/fifteen. She was seventeen/eighteen and just turned nineteen. My current girlfriend is only the second I've had.

CAL, I love you.

Spiders just generally win.

And I realized something else.

It's nothing I'm ashamed of, but I admit that I sleep with a panda plushie, and sometimes have troubles sleeping if I'm somewhere and I don't have it.

And I'm 19½ (almost, my birthday is May 14th) years old.

The panda is something like that too, since legend tells that it was the first gift I ever recieved in my entire life.

It sucks that men get the brunt end. But, hey... Comes with the territory. Men aren't that great of the gender... But then this is coming from me. I walked in on a man blatantly trying to rape my little sister. So... Yeah... I agree with the laws synced up thing. It really sucks. And Saber, your example there is the best I've ever heard of why it sucks. I once had a girlfriend that folks didn't like and when they found out about "things" they tried to have her arrested for stat. since I was fifteen at the time. But unfortunetly for my folks, they didn't find out "things" 'till three days after my sixteenth birthday. She got spared, narrowly.

And also, something I forgot to mention about Florida law. Everything I mentioned before, and: when you're sixteen/seventeen the oldest you can have is twenty-three. Don't know why. But if you're twenty-four or more and you're with a sixteen/seventeen year old, then it's the eact same charges as if you were with a fifteen year old. But then, sixteen/seventeen year olds are confined to or above sixteen. Some weird laws.

The way I look at it, with all those laws, neither party is safe 'till they're both twenty-four. If Houston were one year younger and were here in Florida with his g/f, then to jail she goes.

I completley agree, we do get shafted. But to be completley honest, its a little more difficult to rape men, from a female point of view, than it is the other way around.

nate

2006-01-17 09:33:55 pm

the problem is that it's nearly impossible, unless you are like dripping pus from every pore or something, to try to rape a man as a girl and have it succeed, because "you can't rape the willing". so that gives men an inherent advantage that as a society we have to equal out, or the society is not doing its job and needs to be changed</america>.

2006-01-17 10:55:04 pm

Although it is harder for women to rape men, it is still quite easy if there's a group of women ganging up on one man. Even if it's only one woman, she can drug the guy and tie him up or simply threaten him with a knife/gun.

Anyways...

The spider lives in the crevace between the dashboard and the windshield, because it makes its web there XD Although, I think it'll die soon, because I've switched over to diet soda, so there hasn't been anything to attract the ants.

I told my wife I was a virgin when I met her, but I wasn't. Also, I think she is about as bright as a box of rocks. But we've got two kids, plus one in the oven, so I'm in it for the long haul.

I own a gas-sucking SUV, but it was made well before they were known as SUVs. 1986 Chevy Suburban. The original title (I bought the truck from the original owners) printed in 86 listed the body style as "station wagon." Doesn't change the fact that I get, on average, 12 miles per gallon (5.1 km/L). Also, I hate SUV owners.

I hate my boss. He's a fucking idiot. I've often thought about what it would be like to slide a screwdriver up his nose, or rearrange his internal structure with my truck.

I have a confession... My web site is dying painfully. And not dying on its feet, just... Dying. I, the webmaster, have about 88% of the posts made there. Despite my best efforts, the thing is going to fall. Totally. It'll be dead soon.

But I'm thinking that if I move the site, make it all from the ground up again... Make it REAL and in-your-face! like and maybe it'll do better next school year. I'm hoping that I can make the thing something you'll drool over.

I also have another confession. Even though my website is a singles page, I still can't get a date for tomorrow night's Winter Formal dance.
