Pretty sure paedophiles don't give kids tests to check their brain age before deciding whether to be attracted to them.
It doesn't matter what your brain is like aged 16 vs 25 since we're talking about physical attraction. You don't have sex with someone's brain.

Also 16 != pedo, unless they haven't physically developed, probably due to some disorder. 16 year olds are physically maturing. I am in my later 20's and sometimes people still think I'm under 20, so would it be paedophilic if someone was interested in me when I look like I'm in my teens?

Also it means 99% of asians are paedophiles, since asian women don't age that much between teens and probably 30s really.

Also if you're not a troll you're just an idiot.

If you're brain is not 100% developed then you wouldn't realize that someone like PW or R. Kelly are perverts.

Many European countries have the age of consent at 14, most of the rest are 15 and 16.

If you want we can talk about Iran where sex is only legal once married, and the legal of marriage is 18 for men and 16 for women, now Iran must be a REAL bastion of civilization.

Most of Europe is still living in the past so I wouldn't consider them bastions of civilization.

reported for continued nonsense, and lack of comprehension of what constitutes pedophilia.

Google is your friend, don't fight it.

Well some of them are doing a lot better than us economically...

By the end of 2019 Norway's Government Pension Fund will be worth approximately $1 Trillion USD, it is estimated that Norway's pension fund is the largest stock holder in Europe.

The fund is valued at $783B USD, larger than the largest US public pension fund; Thrift Savings Plan, which is valued at $358B.

By 2030 Norway plans to have $1.3T dollars saved up from good healthy investments, what exactly is this(the US) "bastion of civilization" doing for it's future?

Also, what's the difference between 16 and 18?

What's the difference between aspirin and heroin? One is legal, one is not.

I can cut a guy some slack if it happens once. Once. Maybe, just maybe, you meet the love of your life when you're 25 and she's 16. Shit happens. But to go from one 16 year old in your mid 20s to another 16 year old when you're in your thirties is no longer a coincidence. That's a pattern of aberrant behavior.

its weird the people like rob lowe, r kelly and teacher who screw students get bustid for sheet like this. what normal dude doesnt like 16 yo chicks?

its crazy that you can do interracial, gay, bestial, polyamory etc...but if you do normal seks with a physiologically mature chick you get flack for it. the age gap thing needs to be the new gay rights with paul walker as the harvey milk/nelson mandela

I wouldn't call being 18 yrs to mean your 100% developed mentally. Look around, do you not see all the immature and mentally retarded 20-50 + yr olds out there? I was more mature at 14 than some I know. Mentally being adult doesn't happen at the flick of a switch when turning 18. There are many teens out there that are very well mentally developed, they are generally just viewed as smart kids.

Great way to compare normal relationships with everything else. :biggrin:

You go through more changes in two years when you're between the ages of 0-10 or 11-20 than 60-69 or 90-99. Also, at the age of 16 your brain is not 100% developed yet whereas at 18-21 it is fully developed.

Finally, you aren't doing yourself any favors by constantly calling me a troll while replying to me.

Confirmed, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Glad we settled that one.


The average human brain, if you are discussing every last section of the brain, does not fully mature until the mid to late 20s (on average). For this topic of conversation, it's also the section of the brain with the most impact on who you are that matures last - the prefrontal cortex.

Do you guys really think 16 year old teens are innocent children?

Girls mature much faster than males and at 16 years old, most of them are vicious things anyway.

No human's brain development can be generalized in legal terms.

I mean we still have children who are 50 plus here. :whiste:

Doesn't matter as 16 will still get you 20. ;)

To people that ask whats the difference between a 16 and 18? If its your daughter thats the difference. Even 16 and 20 gap, the difference becomes your concern if its your daughter.

bullshit, so you stop being concerned as a parent the day she turns 18? If you disapprove of the relationship at 16, you'll still likely have a problem with it at 18.

You should always be concerned about the wellness and safety of your children, be they 10 or 40. At some point, you have to let them decide things for themselves, hand them over to the world and hope that a) you raised them right, and b) you can still exert some positive influence if you ever feel its necessary. If you accomplished a), you can probably do b). :)

At what age parents step back has changed all throughout history, to both younger and older standards. To go truly off of brain maturity (especially decision making), we should baby the youngin's until 25. How's that? I mean hell, you can't rent a car until then anyway. Obviously that's when the rest of the world truly accepts we're capable adults, but not a moment before. :p

You are wrong. Where did I say that? I don't know about others but I never stop being a parent and will never let my daughter go with an older person. Hence my statement.

Dari, I dont think pedophile means what you think it means.

If he's banging multiple 16 year olds, me thinks he's looking at their younger sisters...

Seems fairly clear at thos point that you're trolling. -DrPizza
