In addition to increased education on the topic of health, sex, etc... how about easy & free access to birth control? Teenagers will always be teenagers regardless of what the age of consent is. In their eyes, the age of consent isn't even on their minds or in the picture. In other words, it is irrelevant to a teenager. But what is relevant is the fact they will have sex and with increased access to birth control -- many of the unanticipated pregnancies can be avoided.

Let's try... more birth control education and more access to birth control. That is a good and very easy step one. In addition, more access and education to adoption as a solution to an unwanted pregnancy. And lastly, more access and education to abortion as a very, very last resort.

The combination of these three strategies may help alleviate children having children and folks having babies they have NO intention of raising or caring for.

Who cares?! He was a low life piece of crap anyway. Good riddance.

Amen to that!!

Okay, stop with all the legal talk. Let's make this as simple as possible. Here are the scenarios. I'd like someone to answer each scenario and let explain if the child is automatically a Bahamian citizen or not. And all of these scenarios take place on Cat Island:
1) Bahamian man married to Canadian woman, they have a baby;
2) Canadian man married to Bahamian woman, they have a baby;
3) Bahamian man not married to Canadian woman, they have a baby;
4) Canadian man not married to Bahamian woman, they have a baby;

Okay, no legal talk. Just need an answer to all four scenarios. The answer is either yes, the baby is Bahamian or no, the baby is not Bahamian. Alright... go!

Are you telling me, that if a Bahamian man is married to a Canadian woman and they live on Cat Island and have a baby... that baby isn't automatically a Bahamian citizen? Is that what you are telling me? Is that how the law is written?

Furthermore, at the end of the day... what two adult males or two adult females do behind closed doors -- is NONE of my business. Just like I don't really care what you do at home behind closed doors. Hell, maybe you and your partner like to stick carrots up your ass and have a ball gag in your mouth -- I don't really care. If that is what you like -- I would support you and your partner 100%.

Being gay and having "relations" between two male adults or female adults is based on "mutual consent." Comparing that to a pedophile is not an apples to apples comparison. As you know, there isn't and can't be "mutual consent" between an adult and a child. And that is the primary issue with a pedophile. So no, I will NEVER support, nor should any rational adult, pedophiles. But, I will 100% support two male adults that truly love each other, respect each other, and have a relationship built on mutual consent.

Being gay isn't a choice. It's no different than being born with red hair vs blonde hair. You are simply born that way and have NO control over it.

If I was born with red hair and at some point wished I was a blonde... there is NO way for my head to change and start generating blonde hair. It simply isn't biologically possible. The same with being gay. It I wake up one day as a gay man and then all of the sudden decide today is the day I'm going to lust after women -- it won't happen. It's not biologically possible.

Listen... the Bible was written thousands of years ago. My two teenagers at this very moment have more education and knowledge than the folks that wrote the Bible. In the vast amount of time that has passed since the Bible was written, some of us have actually evolved and matured and gained incredible amounts of knowledge. Yes, some of the things in the Bible are still relevant today and make perfect sense. Yet, many of the things in the Bible are simply unrealistic, based on fear or sheer stupidity.
