"Age of consent in Slovenia is 14 years"

And you agree with that? It should be 16, in my opinion. But it varies by state. In New Mexico the age of consent is 13 and in Wyoming it's 19.

Not a very smart post by you, in my opinion.

I don't really agree with the law, but I don't find it too meek either.
Our age of consent is a bit different from most other countries. It's still illegal for a 14 and 18 year old to sleep around. But in case of a 14 year old and 16 year old it is legal, because we all know it would happen whether the law is there or not; we just try to prevent them from screwing up their lives for good (like getting pregnant, getting any STI,...).

Kids are kids, and they'll do stuff (and let's not even start on that abstinence bs); the best we can do is make sure that they play it safe.
