Decaf, it depends on state jurisdiction even in the states. I heard something about the 2 year rule if both minors are under 18 (they have to be within 2 years of age to sex). Lots of places its just straight up illegal because they don't want dumb ass teenagers reproducing and being a detriment to society.

Its impossible to enforce though until after the fact. Which is used just to set an example for other kids.

When you are becoming a lawyer, the thing you don't want to happen is getting into trouble with the law. Be it a serious infraction or just a minor thing (except for moderate speeding maybe), it can and most possibly will ruin your reputation, which is like half of your job. Therefore, I try to avoid anything criminal beyond small traffic rule infractions.

sometimes, some places the older minor of a pair of sexually active minors can be prosecuted for sexual assault or some other sex crime. this is one of the few times when girls get charged with a sex crime. it all depends on a variety of variables, but mostly whether the parents care. i once knew a guy who did time for having sex with a minor.

There was an interesting book that I don't remember what it was (or maybe it was a lecture/article, w/e), but it basically talked about the difference between the law and the legislation. There are a ton of things that are against the legislation, but aren't against what society accepts as the law.

One example that was quoted is driving above the speed limit. Even in good conditions, driving 5 mph over the speed limit is against the legislation, but people still feel it's unfair when they're pulled over for it because it isn't against what everyone accepts is the law.

I've never met anyone in my entire life, or heard of anyone from any walk of life that is completely and totally in absolute compliance with every law in existence. This poll is kind of pointless.

e: 4 people are absolute liars.

As long as I am not hurting another person, I feel that I should be able to whatever I wish. That includes drugs and underage drinking in my own house. Other stuff like stealing and fighting is a definite no for me because that goes against my philosphy. But there are grey areas like downloading music and software where I still quiet haven't figured out yet. But I do go out and buy CDs of my fav bands after I dl them!

Now I'm in big time.

Damn.

Law isnt' perfect, so there's always going to be some unjust or morally questionable laws. This is a good thing, it helps law evolve to meet the needs of society.

I don't understand how anyone can claim pirating software/music shouldn't be illegal. If they wanted it to be free it would be free, they're trying to turn a profit..

Eh, the only illegal things I do are driving over the speed limit, downloading music, and stealing food from the school cafeteria because it's super overpriced.
