Do you think the guys who created the age thresholds of everything - sex, crime, drinking, smoking, etc - were geniuses that knew exactly what age is appropriate for everything, and nobody could have come up with a better estimate? They all should collectively get farked in the arse for the shit that they've created. If they were dead, they need to be exhumed and *then* farked up the arse.
The system is fucked up beyond recognition because of these stupid age thresholds, particularly for crime. I think the got it all wrong, IMHO.
I don't know anything about the age of consent so I'll stay out of that debate, but for crime? I say as long as the guy is physically strong enough to kill / seriously wound someone, he should be judged as an adult no matter what his age is. The victim and their family must be the first priority, not politics or the general public.
