not under our current laws - radar's idea is to rid us of any laws concerning the subject.

Who's laws? In the United States, minors are not legally capable of consent therefore "consensual sex" automatically excludes minors. Radar can speak for himself but until he explicitly states he is in favor of removing the age barrier for consent, I will assume that, were he king of America, that it would remain in place. The age varies by state (14 in Hawai'i, btw) but every state has an age below which consent is deemed to be legally void.

Now go bitch slap yourself for making me defend Radar :)

wow i've never seen anyone defend radar before. my thinking was that radar want all laws repealed due to his stance that gov't (that evil, lurking menace) should have NO say over who is doing who.

it is possible that i took his statement further than he intended.

but... don't you feel dirty for siding with him on something?

And in MO if you're older than 18 but younger than 21.

that's your distaste for radar speaking. i've not seen him condemn the government like say....spivey has; just federal income tax......that's his drum, and he likes to beat it. I've learned more about the constitution in here than i did in school.

Beestie is right in defending him. and far from feeling dirty, should hold his head high because he did not allow his personal opinion of radar to cloud his vision regarding your incorrect interpretation of radar's mandate.

Onyx almost made me think she was going to do it, but then didn't:

Nix the electoral college. Popular vote for everything.

After that, I dunno. Probably mandate that The King gets to sleep in until 12 every day.

Most people aren't qualified to drive. Why would we give them carte blanche to vote as well?

Who said anything about volunteering? This country should emulate the Israeli's...Mandatory training for everyone to become a citizen/soldier and serve thier country for 2 years.

To all of the young liberals lurking...I do believe the draft will be reinstated after the elections no matter who wins as our military is stretched too thin and enlilstment and reinlistment numbers are dwindling. Drop down and gimme 20, Private Rueda!

I'll give you 3 to 1 on the draft not being reinstated by June 2005.

OK, your on for one Dinar:p

I'm with UT, give me some of that action.

UT is the bookmaker, not me. But I know he suckered me in on a lost bet anyway...no matter who gets sworn in in January, nothing in Washington gets done in 5 months. *Excuse me while I snipe a raghead to get UT his Dinar*

I'll give you 2 to 1 on June 2006.

With the current draft bill sitting in committee, Congress has painted itself into a neat little corner anyway. It specifies men AND women all have to equally serve.

Even if they might take the draft if it were coated with a little vaseline, the population at large would NEVER accept drafting of debutantes. Army wouldn't want 'em anyway.

But count on the ACLU to sue for discrimination on behalf of the boys.

With all the lawyerin' for years, there ain't never gonna be a draft in this "equal rights" country again...

did you hear that some asshole in new jersey got "ladies night" banned from all night clubs and bars becasue of gender discrimination? [/derail]
