What the Hell is Canada Thinking?

Published on December 30, 2005 By Dr Guy In International

OK, Canada likes to try to rub the USA's noses in the fact that gay marriages are legal. Most around here really dont give a flying fart, but it is something for them to crow about. But now, Canada's court has said 'orgies' are legal as well. OK, they are all adult. Eat drink and be merry, but adults can do what they want to.

Except: http://www.actoronto.org/website/home.nsf/pages/consentlaw

What is an adult in Canada? Well, if you want to buy booze, it is 18 or 21 depending upon the province. If you want to serve in the military, it is 18. But if you are NAMBLA, it is 14!

Yes, the age of consent for Canadian 'Children' is 14! At 14 they can be screwed by anyone (consenting adults!), they can participate in orgies! Even enter into a gay marriage!

I have nothing against the average Canadian per se. You meet him on the street, and he looks like an American, and probably even sounds more like an American than most Americans do. But I have a real problem with a people that think a 14 year old is at the age of consent! That is sheer stupidity!

I have 4 children, the youngest 13. If any of them had had sex with an adult before at least 16, I would have killed said adult! (Before 18, and I would have their ass in the pokey!). 14 is not old enough for a mature decision! Period! Having been 14, with 6 siblings that were that age as well (and I was second oldest so I remember most of my siblings at that age from the eyes of an adult) and 4 children, I dont think they are not mature enough! I KNOW they are not mature enough!

Canada has just legalized pedophilia! NO wonder they dont have any! Does anyone wonder why it is called NAMBLA and not NAMMLA? Because even those sickos recognize that 14 is still a boy (or girl!). Not a man or woman!

I wonder how people in Canada can rationalize such abhorrent and disgusting behavior! What a bunch of sick people!

It almost seems as if they do it just to spite the US. Contradict everything we believe in so that they can look like the good guys. Sad if you ask me.

In this case they look like utter asses. So I dont think that theory plays in Peoria.

There's no conspiracy, OK? Get over it. Just worry about repressing your own people. We'll deal with our problems ourselves, thank you very much.

From the looks of it, you are not doing a very good job of dealing with your problems. Not when children are fair game for pedophiles.

And if I was to list all your country's problems and tell you you're doing a poor job of dealing with them, and ask "what the hell is the US thinking", I'm quite sure you would be more than happy to fix all those problems with a smile and a big ol' Thanks For the Heads-up Tim.

When I think back in history, I'm reminded that some of my grandparents' relatives were married (in Italy) at a young age. IE: great grandmother had plenty of time to make 18 babies. However, it was a marriage of arrangement by parents. I'm willing to bet that if you were to go back in time, this was acceptable and is still in practice in some countries (something I'm sure you already know).

HOWEVER... I don't believe for a second that it was ever acceptable - anywhere - at anytime, to have sex with a minor (what constitutes a minor? - for the sake of this topic - let's say 14) - unconsented or otherwise. I'm sure the parents of a raped child took the law into their own hands in those days.

The only thing I see this Canadian law creating is more pedophelia (?sp) and a decrease in prison occupancy (and possibly citizen's tax dollars). Let's not forget IM chat rooms.... we have all heard horror stories of young unsuspecting teenagers meeting with other "chatters" only to find themselves in sad situations.

Let's pray for the sake of the children that this was a typo in the report. gads.

And your problems will never be fixed if your sole attitude is "well, it could be worse". It can always be worse. But ignoring the situation will not make it go away. Fix it. Even you are not defending it, so you must realize it is abhorent.

Sadly, it is not a typo.

Of course it's abhorent and there is legistation on the table to raise the age to 16, but this takes time. Especially when politians are involved. But no matter what, it is our problem, not yours, and we'll take care of it in a timely and democratic fashion.

BTW, here is a list of all countries and their different ages of consent. Link There are many that are 14. Some are as low as 12. Others go as high as 21. I wonder, since the average age among the different States in the U.S. is between 16 and 18, does that mean that it is less moral than say, Madagasgar which has an age of consent of 21.

I don't think so, but.....

I think "age of consent" is a highly subjective issue. I know some individuals who have a high level of maturity at the age of 14, and, while I wouldn't personally approve of giving them the right to consent, probably would make responsible choices. I also know individuals who at 25 or 30 have YET to make a responsible choice in their life, and who frighten me with the very prospect of their breeding. But if we are going to establish the standard that a parent is responsible for their child's actions up to the 18, as is commonly accepted in the US, then the child should be unable to consent to sex before the age of 18. Period. Because sexual activity is a very adult behaviour that carries with it potential consequences that most children under the age of 18 are simply not emotionally prepared to deal with.
