>> People in LA grow up faster than the rest of the country...............take a walk down on Melrose Ave and you will see a ton of middle class 11 and 12 year olds in full make up, body piercings and tats. Its the nature of the beast. And you consider that "growing up"? What about southern farm kids who "grow up" when they're 7 because they're know how to raise their own food? You don't count that? Kids who, at 12, can kill and skin a deer, and can do it safely without his parents to drive him to the deer woods? Kids who start riding dirt bikes at 7? Kids who can literally run a family farm by the age of 12? teddy, growing up isn't about getting tattoos and wearing makeup. It is about learning how to survive when times are tough. It is about comprehending personal responsibility and making decisions accordingly. It is about knowing how to live life without the fucking government giving you food stamps.

Interesting. Where in LA do you live.........and how often do you get to Melrose? Often enough to know that what you said was complete bullshit. What does it matter what you think..........she was an adult. We don't make exceptions. The court doesn't say she's a young 23, we'll try her in juvenile court. She is an adult......she gets tried in adult court. EOS. Winger concern about her age is just part of the BS intended to defame Clinton......nothing more. Using your argument the Boston Bomber who is 19 should be let off because he's just a 'kid'. Rubbish. You are very confused. You seem to think that because we are talking about a power differential between a 23 year old intern and the POTUS who was twice her age that somebody think there statutory rape or something. I've said it multiple times but you seem to be unable to comprehend basic English. Here, I'll help a little bit, it is perfectly legal for a man in his 50s to have sex with a 23 year old intern. No crime was committed. In fact, if she was 18, still no crime. And yet, culturally, unless you are on the fringes like Hugh Hefner, Cher or Madonna, that kind of relationship is not celebrated. And when it is in the work place, the power differential is amplified when there is a significant age difference as far as the boston bomber, your inability to use basic logic results in you making really stupid comparisons. For the same reasons that it is perfectly legal for Bill Clinton to bang 23, 20 or even 18 year olds, it is also clear that the younger tsarnaev brother be tried and punished as an adult. Where he is obviously an immature boy ( I bet his parents think of him as a "boy"), legally he is an adult. Oops!
