France to set legal age of sexual consent as 15
France plans to fix the legal age of sexual consent as 15, meaning sex with someone younger than that would be considered rape.
Equality Minister Marlène Schiappa welcomed the move, which follows advice from doctors and legal experts. Currently, prosecutors must prove sex with someone under 15 was forced in order to bring rape charges. The change comes amid uproar over two recent cases of men accused of having sex with 11-year-old girls.
Under the existing legislation, if there is no violence or coercion proved, offenders may only be charged with sexual abuse of a minor and not rape. This has a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of €75,000 (£66,000; $87,000).
[...] The government is to approve the new age limit as part of a package of other laws against sexual violence and harassment in the coming weeks. It had been discussing whether to set the age as 13 or 15, which is what groups fighting violence against children had campaigned for.

The medical term is pedophilia, you sick bastard.
"If they're old enough to bleed, they're old enough to butcher" might be fine in Kentucky or Alabama, but in civilized places it's more appropriate to set a standard than to have you performing pelvic exams on girl scouts to see if they're old enough to date.
You are still welcome on my lawn.

Only if the young person was prepubescent.
I have no idea why you're accusing the one you're replying to of being a "sick bastard". Knee-jerk reaction much?

You're absolutely right. If a girl has reached puberty [medicinenet.com], she's ripe for fucking! You know it brother. And we know when that is too. From the article I linked:
Ooh yeah! I want me some of that 10 year old white meat! And even better, some of that 9 year old dark meat!
Let's get this done! Age of consent should equal age of puberty. I want my 40+ year old cock in some tight little 9 year old pussy! Heck, all three holes should be used regularly, amirite?
That other guy is a sick bastard, not OP. Nine year-olds are clearly ready for pole.

Muhammed married a 6-year-old girl. Since he was the perfect man, you are encouraged to do likewise.
It is in fact common in Yemen.

This is historical fact, although some claim the girl was 7 years old (she is described as still playing with dolls when the marriage occurred).
Some people, up to a billion perhaps, see this person as being the epitome of humankind.
This practice occurs today in Yemen frequently. There are pictures of men with their young girl child wife standing next to them. Girls still die by childbirth due to their age and lack of development. Girls are dying from penile penetration.

Maybe you should look into the context of what you're replying to instead of knee-jerking. A pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to prepubescent children. That is a fact. I said nothing about people being ripe for fucking as soon as they hit puberty; that is an entirely different matter from medical definitions.

What conclusion should be drawn from your original statement other than any wet hole that's hit puberty is ripe for cock?
Which is the truth anyway. Besides, they're not really people. Just holes for a man's pleasure and a vessel to birth his children. They have no other use.*
You're a hypocritical piece of shit who doesn't have the balls to take what's yours.
