Whilst physically, young people may be maturing earlier - in my opinion, mentally they are maturing much later. Many youngsters of 18 today behave and act as if they were 12. After all, it's SCIENCE FACT that making things which require no outlay, accessories or equipment (other than one's body) illegal is a sure-fire way of getting young people to stop doing them. We should enact such a law without delay! There are no possible unforeseen negative consequences whatsoever! Also, I think your view of what constitutes appropriate behaviour for 18 and 12 years old may not be a widely held one.

When he died, comments on this catholic website were asking why he wasn't lauded more, particularly for his work with children. http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/20...Perhaps there was a conspiracy of silence about his faith - but not for the reasons the conspiratorists had in mind....

Interesting to finally see someone else has highlighted the Catholic Connection.
It was a fundamental part of the man - for good or ill.

Ordinary mums and dads are at it. And it's just a matter of time till one of them starts activisming for its acceptance and legalisation. Next thing you know, it's an offence to offend them.
Next (once kiddy fiddling's decriminalised) it's animals. Or is shagging/being shagged by animals already acceptable? Ho hum. Tiresome troll is tiresome. Just for you, Mister Naive, may I present::::: http://izismile.com/2011/08/13/disturbing_10yearol......although, in fairness, Vogue HAS decided to ban paedo-piccies.....just now. (TBH I wouldn't be unhappy if this post was deleted).

So should the thread be re-titled? Does the OP still wish Mr S to RIP?

Plenty of girls I saw in them that I knew were under 16 as I knew them from when I went to school! And they threw themselves at the DJ's or doormen, (who lets face it were older than the DJ's). They knew how to look older, knew how to circumvent their parents restrictions and were clearly out for various levels of a "good" time. Looking historically at this plenty of "stars" of that era could well be in trouble. Many of those have honours and many of those had the public clamouring to hoist the honours in them. Funny how some despite having no other redeeming features seem to be left alone. Still everybody loves a witch hunt. I think there's a difference between letting someone into a club because someone flirted with you, and molesting them as 'payment' for having done so. Who said they "Flirted" to be let in? They wanted to be there and convinced somebody that they were old enough. THEN they started flirting with those in the DJ booth behind the bar and running the door.

Guam said: Voight Kampff said: All I say is kids are generally still in education till 16/18 so anyone of adult age should just leave them the f  k alone! There may be some who are capable of 'throwing themselves' at older men but does not mean they are able to deal with the repercussions. They are still naive. Adult men should act honourably and respect this really ( key words respect and honour). ^^^^^^^^^ Completely agree! As a 36 year old I totally agree. As a 23 year old just leaving Uni I would not have thought twice about disappointing a seventeen year old girl all night long, 6th former or not!
