That's your take on my country. My take on yours is that if you worried more about rape gangs, human sex trafficking, acid attacks, knife assaults, terrorist bombing and stuff more than you do about being woke and making police go after mean tweets, you wouldn't be on the way of becoming an Orwellian dystopia.
Thank you!
Macron?
There was a complaint made against Johnson. So yeah, what happened in the UK would still have happened.
Hes the one dishing out abuse after his bad opinion was called out.
In Italy, it's also 16 if the older person is in a position of authority - which you could argue was the case here.
Best end my marriage then
Look its only one of these stupid social etiquette things. if you are a billionaire it does not apply to you. But if you have a mortgage to pay it does.
Jesus fecking Christ, "all he did was finger her". The feck is wrong with you?
Yeah, but what about the fingers?
What is the privilege? He's playing football at a skill large enough that people will come and watch. What is the element that is undeserved?
You need to log off and take a break pal
kinell - not ''mean'' ones, too -
I could be in a lot of trouble.
Surely two separate things here?
Age of consent, etc. is clearly arbitrary and where there's room for disagreement. I sure did "worse" things with my 15 year old gf when I was 13 myself.
What's mistifying is why the feck is a 29yo footballer -who can just pick and choose at a nightclub- messing about with a schoolgirl. Dimwit.

it's not particularly arbitrary at 29 vs. 15
sponsorship deals, free access to certain things (none of which relate to the profession) etc.
Out of curiosity, what happened to you on your 16th birthday that made u think you were suddenly ready to have sex with an adult?
What gives you, or anyone else, the right to decide whose opinions are bad?
Surely by having an opinion you think that another opinion on the same subject is a bad one? Or should we all just say everyone has a good opinion no matter how contradictory they are?
Any line you draw is ultimately arbitrary. What happens when you're 15 that makes you an adult? What happens when you're 18? 21? What about 24?
You have to call it somewhere.
I've never had sex with a child or suggested it was okay to do so.
What prompted the bump ? I don't have the will to read all the posts
Wise decision. Adam Johnson got out of prison today.
He's out of prison.
Wow, man. That post you quoted. I wanna throw up after reading it.
If it's illegal, it is illegal. There is no grey in these matters, however the kids behave, adults should know better.
Stay strong @Rado_N
Good behaviour I assume. Unless you're a really bad lad, remission of sentence is the norm. Used to be one-third but that has increased in modern times.
There is no legal age of consent after marriage therefore he can simply play football and not get rogered by the crowd every match.
No offence. Simple logistics.
I thought it was pretty standard to serve half of any sentence inside and the other half on license?
It is these days. Sentencing guidelines have changed drastically. Years ago, a convict could expect a one-third remission for good behaviour but clearly that isn't the case any more and I haven't kept up on it as I should have.
I find it funny that the discussion is bordering on the 14-16 age range for consent and potentially lowering it. After hitting my mid twenties, Frankly both now and looking back i haven't met any girls under the age of 21 who were capable enough to not be labelled children in terms of life experience and maturity and i certainly wouldn't date or feck them anymore. Girls at 15/16 have the same issues as girls at 20, so yes it is arbitrary, but its a safeguard.
We live in a world where young girls and boys are saturated with sexual images virtually non-stop. They can access hard-core pornography by clicking a mouse. Look at the Jon-Benet Ramsey case for example and look at how that poor young lass ended her life. Her parents, who probably hadn't thought it through, had her parade in beauty pageants where six year olds dressed up in full-make up. I feel so sorry for the youngsters growing up today as they face pressures that my generation never had to.
You missed my point, completely. It was precisely about 14/15/16 is arbitrary and therefore open to discussion (as proved by different countries arbitrarily setting one or the other). What leaves no room for discussion is a 29yo has no business being borderline legal or not depending on country.
What's that got to do with it ? If a PL player rapes someone then that's worse than a L1 player murdering someone ? Is that what you're suggesting ? You've lost me.
If McCormick has managed to reintegrate himself back into football after the severity of his crime then Johnson should have the pick of most clubs making up the EFL.
You've never been to Ireland have you?
Hes a bolsonaro supporter, which explains a lot.
