You have a point. I must be an idiot. There is no way I could be right and everyone else wrong. I should just keep my mouth when I read such things.

Okay, everybody. Get in your shots. Not fighting it anymore.

"Get in your shots".

I don't intend to "shoot" you. As I understood it, you disagree with the idea that a 14-year-old should be allowed to marry and work. While it may have been accepted in past generations, we live in a very different world today. However grown-up they think they are, the great majority of teenagers are not mature enough to take on such responsibilities.

Yet I don't get why you jump to a life of porn for these girls. I can only think it's because we hear of runaway girls supporting themselves that way.

Obviously you reacted to the idea of these kids having rights to work/marry as inane. As I said, I'm with you on that. We can all disagree but it's to our credit to do it without malice...in other words, civilly. Tough as it can be at times, that is a sign of our OWN maturity!

After many years, I'm still trying to learn to watch my mouth!
