The question was whether 13 year olds are ready. And I say that no thinking, reasonable person believes that children should be engaging in sex and frankly, a 13 year old isn't even capable of consent. This is why many of us [conservatives] think liberals are downright stupid people. And damned near every liberal on this thread has proven it this morning. Now you are making yourself look foolish. I asked you at what age people are ready for lots of healthy sex, and you replied "not 13", but gave no age. I said there was no argument, just curious of your view on the age question. You couldn't provide an age and came up only with when they are ready for parenthood (which was universally laughed at as a silly answer. Should people not be able to smoke until they declare "I am ready for cancer!"?). Now you assume the "liberals" (what does this have to do with politics?) are all saying "kids must have sex at 13". No one has said that, but it has come up in discussion. Why are you arguing against a straw man rather than just answering a question? And why are you seeking to prevent the discussion of at what age people are ready for healthy sex by calling everyone an idiot? Do you get this way when you are unable to answer a simple question or something?? Methinks you're being the idiot, idiot! If people aren't ready for sex at age 13, at what age are people ready for it (in your opinion)? If you don't know the answer, just admit it....
