The best thing about Jason2 is that I genuinely think he is serious with every post. If it were mere trolling, it wouldn't be half as funny.

Ignorance isn't a bannable offence, but voicing that opinion is. And I have a really hard time not doing the second one a lot when it comes to him...
It's not, correct. That doesn't mean that its cool beans. By this logic, I could go key a bunch of cars, scam an old lady out of her pension and fling my poo at group of school kids. Should be perfectly legal, its hardy comparable to gang rape or murder.
Yeah but even in her version of society we still can't do a little bit of gang raping or murder people... so where is the fun to be had?
I think your hilarious (in a non taking the **** way), please carry on for entertainment purposes

She can have consensual sex at 16 and when she is 18 she can do what she wants. Even if that is deprived, kinky-ass sex.

My main concern is that there are enough brain dead teenage skanks up the duff already.
then how come women have been charged with rape in this country as well as others?

Personally I'm of the opinion that it should be 18 myself, like in places like Malta.
Not because of my religious beliefs (which would require someone being married), but because I do not believe that having such a laissez faire attitude is in the interests of people or the country.
We've had a sexual revolution, we've got sex in the TV, a moderately low age of consent, adult material available at a click on the internet and sex education in schools. Now we've got OFSTED saying kids should be taught about porn!?
It isn't working, and whilst we do not have the religious/moral authority of religion to provide guidance, I think a bit more strictness might actually help crack down on the extremely high rate of young pregnancies.
It's in human beings nature to reproduce at a young(ish) age, but not in the interest of people in our society. Tantalising young hormones really isn't helping.
Fair enough for being a personal opinion but if we accept that the Dutch are somewhat more liberal and open about sex education then you can also point to the fact that their rate of teen pregnancy is significantly lower than that of the UK (approx. 1/5 in rough terms at 5 per 1,000). They might have sex younger but it appears they are also more responsible about it as well using contraception.
The above might seem counterintuitive but like the belief that harsher punishments reduce recidivism the evidence does appear to point to a position where educating people and treating them respectfully will more often than not lead to a better outcome.
Legally that wouldn't be rape, it would be a sexual assault. The definition of rape in the relevant acts requires penetration with "his penis" and there has to be a lack of consent.
You may think this definition is simply incorrect or too limiting but a woman currently cannot rape a man in England, Wales or Scotland. Personally I think that it should be considered possible for a woman to rape a man but my belief doesn't alter the situation.

You must have been an incredibly immature 18 year old to believe that.
At some point 'kids' have to learn to become adults. Were you still playing with your baby jesus lego set at 18-20 ?
On the subject of the woman, she's clearly an attention seeker and I hope her career takes the nose dive it deserves.
Given that plenty of (probably most) people will have had sex or done something sexual with another person before they become 16 these days the age of consent probably could be lowered.
It just needs to be done sensibly... IMO in the general case, with no restrictions - the age should be 18... For anyone below 18 there should be some sort of max age difference between them and their partners say 2 or 3 years... The 15 yr old and 16 yr old in a relationship are then legally allowed to do what they'll likely be doing anyway but the 40 yr old pervert is stuck to girls aged 18+ only...

Let children be children. Why make them grow up so early. Most children aren't mature enough at 16 let alone 13. What's happened to just letting children be young? At 13 I wasn't interested in sex, I wanted to play with my friends, climb trees, ride my bike etc... I wasn't mature enough to be having sex - but then again I was brought up in a time where that sort of things wasn't in your face as it is now, and no internet to get it on either.
I think it's a very dangerous move - I don't want to see children behaving like adults, where's the innocence gone? I think it should be raised if anything rather than lowered.

One hundred percent this. Sex education needs to be taught properly, and at a much younger age. First and foremost, this teaching must come from parents and children should be taught about condoms and taught that sex isn't a big evil thing to avoid but something to talk about with your parents.
I had sex at what many would consider to be a very young age, I used protection, talked to my parents after the event and continued to have a happy, healthy and safe sex life. I put that down to being taught appropriately and being able to have people to talk about it with.
It doesn't matter if the age of consent is 16, 18, 21, 50, 10 or 13. People will have sex when under the legal age. We need to make sure those that are having sex are doing it safely, and are able to cope emotionally/physically with it.

That's why sexual assault merits a moderate prison sentence and gang rape or murder is punishable by death in many countries such as India.
not so sure you should hold india up as an example of how to punish rape.....
It's only a matter of time, this guy is a permaban waiting to happen.
Without all the sensationalism she actually makes a very good point, ignore the age of consent statement as I believe that to be used more to bring about attention and refer to the Victorian example used in her own published article not the snippets included in the express. Her point rests on the fact that the paedophile 70's witch hunt is not being conducted in the way that a normal criminal investigation would be and that the fact that Operation Yewtree (NSPCC, Scotland Yard and all those involved) are working in a way that is not conducive to bringing about justice but in fact is solely set out to appease victims and in this fact I believe that she is right.
