<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Aw, why aren't we being completely
culturally sensitive on this issue? Do you guys realize that some cultures find
it perfectly acceptable to marry/mate with young women? Even in the U.S., less
than a century ago, many teenaged girls were happily married to older men.
Now, sex with a minor is repulsive? Well, FWIW, I agree with the current age of
consent. I was simply wondering why we must be culturally sensitive sometimes ,
but not always....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>I'm so mixed up when it comes to culture.
We, as a Nation, are making it a practice to bow to very culture represented in
our Nation--even in the world as high court precedents have exemplified. Ever
hear of a cultural defense in the courtroom? It even works sometimes...
