But only for the older person?

All the millions of teenagers throwing their knickers at every pop star from Tom Jones and Elvis (including Priscilla) to Robbie Williams and Justin Bieber are undeserving of criticism but if the pop star decides to take them up on their offer, the pop star is being "sleazy"?

That seems kind of lopsided.

Personally, I'd say those teenage girls are being just as "sleazy" as any man they're desperate to shag, which is why I wouldn't rush to judge anybody without all the facts.

Priscilla Presley was just 14 when Elvis Presley first dated her. He was 24 so i guess that makes it 'ok'. A year later she had moved into Graceland full time which her parents agreed to on condition she attended an all girls Catholic school, and Presley paid for her air fare. Later there were girls such as Lori Mattix and Sable Starr who followed rock bands around and to believe they were there only for the music is pure naivety.

Americans are a bit weird with the whole age of consent thing though.

They are very weird about age law throughout. They can get a gun licence three years before they can legally buy a bottle of beer.

Do we? Apart from those who do it culturally, do the main population?

Yes though the US has long been known for child marriage and though new laws have been introduced in certain states, it seems it's still practiced. New Hampshire allows marriage at 13.

Yes it's legal, even 1st cousins, though tends to be frowned on and it's not very common.

Norfolk? :ooer:
I’ve visited some odd villages in my travels.
It would explain the Brexit vote as well.

Are you suggesting the vote was fixed because they have six fingers on each hand?

I think what Morgan did was pretty much the theme of the Benny Hill show.

It's quite depressing that people we have admired in the acting industry have been accused of sexual harrassment (as well as politicians etc).

Is it a power thing? Money?



Oh no not Morgan!
