So, if 18 was the age of consent, then you are not oK with it.  So, it's just moral relativism.  I don't care what the gov't says. [/quote]

That's unwise. [/quote]

It's unwise to ignore that even if the gov't says age of consent is 16, I would want my DCs to wait till they are 18?  We are not talking about all gov't laws, just this one, you know, the topic thread.[/quote]

The way I read your statement you were talking about letting your kid have sex under 18, even if the legal age of consent were 18.

That PP may think 16 is old enough socially, physically, and emotionally to have sex, but would still forbid it if the law said 18.  Morals and laws often don't align.  [b]But I think most would try not to break the law.[/b][/quote]

This is my stance unless the law is very clearly immoral. Not just more or less restrictive than our own morals and family values, but actually something that directly contradicts one of our major moral values. Morally, I'm probably fine with sex at 16 in the context of a committed relationship and would most likely be OK with allowing it assuming the couple were both over the age of consent in my area. However, if the age of consent were 18 I would not be OK with condoning violations of that, because I do not consider it immoral to NOT have sex so obeying the law would be the priority.[/quote]
