re: #447 Decatur Deb

The age of consent in Albania is also 14, with no law regarding an appropriate age gap, so that may be part of it. But age of consent in Europe in general is much lower than it is here in the US. Spain’s is 13, which always creeps me out. They have some vague thingy that if ‘deceit’ is used then it’s still illegal if the kid is younger than 16, but still.

So I don’t think a country that says that 14 year olds are capable of consent can really claim that the idea of sex with, say, a 12 year old is unthinkable.
