The age of consent in mexico is 12, isnt it about time we lower our age of consent?

Fatboy

No.

Xae

I thinks not I have a daughter, she is 8.

anybody touches her before she is 18 and/or married will be wearing cement shoes and feeding the putred life on the floor of the pacific

Andrew

No. Leave it where it is. People over 18 should stay with people over 18.

iusedtolooklikemyavatar

Where? No. it's 12 in the Netherlands too...YuCK!!

thecoldvoiceofreason

No, i have a daughterwho's 13, if anyone tried that kind of crap on with her and i'd rip his balls off and make him eat them.

ps. what are you some kind of perv? if thats the kind of thing you think about you need putting away.

Fine you can be a child molester if you want to.

This poor soul must not be a parent. Hopefully never will be with those comments either.

Assuming that you are in the UK, then NO.
We already have the worst teenage pregnancy rate in europe.

helen l

AAAAAAAA No and come to think about it NO!!!!!!!!!
Get real

you sound like a dirty old man, even 16 is'nt old enough as you are not emotionally ready to deal with the feelings that a close relationship brings.

Your Best Fiend

Age of consent in the US varies from state to state. IIRC, it is 12 in at least one state in the US if she is not a virgin. It doesn't make sense, but there you are.

Ms.BusyBody

hell no!!!!
that's just gross!!!!!!!!!!

The law is there to protect our children, the age of consent in the UK is 16, even then not all 16 year olds are mature enough to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy or disease.

So, I would say, no.

I was going to be offensive because I just assumed that you must be a pervert if you have the audacity to ask this Question. Then I thought maybe you are just a bit thick. But I don't have the right to make assumptions without knowing more. So I'm going to have to accept that you ARE a pervert and child molester, and to answer the question, NO!
I just had a look at some other answers and I accept that some of them are being sarcastic or just downright stupid but some are just insidiously sick. It is no good trying to hide behind the mask of history. We have supposed to have moved on, and to say because it was acceptable to rape and pillage in the past, and because third world countries have lax laws, or even worse, states in the U.S. where children are systematically abused in the name of religion. Or, in states where so-called religious sects have the legislature in their pockets, and abuse children with impunity. Well, I do not have any belief in a supreme being, but sometimes I really wish that there was some proof that a god existed, because if he did, or does exist, then surely you people, and you know who you are, would burn and rot in hell and it would be only what you deserve.

Twelve Monkeys

Absolutely not!

DEBORAH B

people like you are sick theres plenty women leave kids to grow up to many perverts in our world

sosgez

No, raise it to 40.

wozza.lad

I hope you are just being a bit mischievious,because if your not you should be hung drawn and quartered,and if what you say is true in Mexico and i think someone mentioned holland,i think these countries should be condemned by the rest of the civilised world,for these archaic practices,

cliff4sally

are you sick ?

Alisha S

I say NOOOOOOOOOO way... pervert

cityofoak

Get over yourself, pervert.

Brite Tiger

NOOOO !! Raise it to at least 25.

freedom_of_speech

its bad enough with young teenagers getting pregnant, the poor things can barely look after themselves, and instead of moving forwards, what possessed you to think people would in their right mind would want to lower it?!

jstokes1085

No. you pervert.

Fassa Albrecht

It wouldn't solve a thing at all. Each and every one of us is different and so we all mature at different ages. What might suit one child might not be good for another.
As for the answer which talked about the Middle Ages, they were married earlier only because the average age at death was so low, and the chances of having an heir to the family name were then reduced. Younger girls were believed to have more chance of giving birth to healthy babies too.
As for your being a pervert, I don;t think you are. It is quite a serious legal issue which has been much debated. It needs considering.

skin&bone

12 years old that just seems so wrong some how, that is just no age at all, just plain and simple sick.

children of twelve do not know their own mind on such matters . That girl in holland that gave birth at the age of twelve it sounds horrific and it must be so, they are just not properly physically developed at that age God what a night mare it must of been for her. Her father it is said was responsible , if so this man needs to have his reproductive tackle permanently confiscated or just give him the lead treatment in the back of his head with a gun yeh! one less pervo.
