“How sure are you about that? ”

Very.

“I knew a guy (who was 21 at the time) who sent a picture . . .”

A picture is not fucking. If he lived in most states he could have fucked her all she wanted, but taking a picture or video would have been a federal crime. That would be considered child pornography. The subject was fucking, not “sex offenses.”

Yeah, it’s fucked up, but that’s the way it is.

By the way, this question might change your worldview. Every time you see a headline, ask “How did they find that out?” Whenever you see a sensational headline, it almost always implies that evidence against someone was obtained illegally, or through draconian measures. This is almost never admitted to, but when you think about it, if people questioned the ability to obtain said information, it would call in to question the whole panopticon. By acknowleding this collection ability, it would completely transform peoples’ behavior, and the panopticon’s ability to record everyone.

I’ve re-read this post a few times, and each time I bite off a new chunk of wisdom. One thing that immediate came to my mind was the herd on my dad’s side of the family, and how they fit into the movement from red to blue team paradox. They have “disowned” me for valuing family oriented roles for women. If asked how they would react to the Nazis, if placed in 1930s Germany, they would say that of course they would protest them and fight against them. If asked how they would react to the socialists, or communists, I’m not so sure. It is amazing how people can change from one genocidal ideology to another and be absolutely ignorant to the glaring similarities. I know that despite what they say, they will go along with whoever is in power and force it on everyone else around them, since that is what their actions have shown. Rather than having lost something, I am glad to know who my true friends and family are.

Perhaps that’s the reason engineers seem socially awkward to most people. Instead of blindly accepting what they’re told, they must ask why something is so, and attempt to explain it. If the explanation seems suspect, the engineer forges his own way and potentially discovers something new. Every day, I deal with one of the few fields that deals in physical laws. If something is wrong, I know I messed something up, or an instrument is out of calibration. If there is a field that deals in universal truths, it is what I work with every day. Even with that in mind, the engineers I deal with will fully acknowledge the gaps in understanding of the field. The ones who should be the most confident in their knowledge, which is one of the only fields that has an impartial standard of knowledge, are the ones who are the most skeptical of said knowledge. Go to any other field based on loose science, and they are absolutely convinced that their “expert knowledge” is unquestionable. Perhaps its because their job depends on their so called “expert knowledge”.

Unfortunately, I can’t find a video of Peter Bryant, designer of the Ti-22 CANAM car that defied many preconceived notions of titanium fabrication. If you can find it, check out a copy of CANAM thunder.

For those that invoke the “science” title, I’ve always wanted to ask what the RMS% and peak error was between their predictive models and hard data was. If they look confused, clearly they are bullshit peddlers.

How sure are you about that? I knew a guy (who was 21 at the time) who sent a picture of his prick to a 16 year old, and got 10 years time, plus 15 years on the sex offenders registry. The definitions for sex offenses have broadened over the years and don’t have to involve sex. I don’t know what the actual statistics are, but I wonder if most “sex offenses” even involve sex. You can be put in the same ballpark as a violent rapist just by streaking.

” . . .it is legal to fuck at 16 in the UK and illegal in the US . . .”

There is no federal law about fucking in the US. The issue is determined by the states, of which there are 50. In most of them it is legal at 16.

Of course, supporting your point, even within one country there is no social agreement on the matter. New York is the only northeastern state where the age is not 16, because it could not resolve its own desire for both equal rights and a different age of consent for men and women (it had previously been 16 for men and 18 for women).

Canada has always held to the traditional age of consent of Christendom, 14, which the UK abandoned in the late 1800s, but was recently pressured into changing it to 16 by the US, even though the US does not agree within itself that that should be the age of consent.
