Ybder age in over 18's events

    After all this Slane debate it got me wondering.

    A guy walks into a pub (which is obviously 18's) and has a few beers and a dance and while dancing a very pretty girl struts across the floor and bang he's hooked. So they do the usual and the next morning he's in a cell being charged with statutory rape!

    Now the parents of this young girl probably want his head cut off yet probably didn't bat an eye lid we she went out wearing a tea towel for a top and a designer belt for a skirt.

    So a woman walks into a bar and the same thing happens only she meets a fella and what happens......well nothing!

    So I'm not a university graduate so can someone explain what is wrong with the above story??

    1) Parents not giving a toss where the daughter is.....yes she may go out to a friends for a sleep over in a tracksuit but really are parents that stupid silly?

    2) Some door staff need to actually check ID's and not go by looks or clothes?

    3) The law!!

    You never hear of a woman getting charged with statutory rape...I was just 17 (back in the day) and I was seeing a 22 year old, to my knowledge she was never arrested!

    So without s big hullabaloo why is something a serious as this not looked at in better light and not decided by gender!

    17 years old is legal in Ireland.

    This is a pretty piss poor analysis... my parents always cared where I was, thankfully there was no mobile phones or I'd of had no peace, and to be fair, they didn't sleep until I came in the door.

    Parents don't always know what their kids are up to, but if they say they are going to be in A, they have to believe them unless they've proved themselves untrustworthy.

    Well, for one: I imagine most 16 year old fellas don't run to their parents and say "guess what? I JUST HAD SEX!"

    In all seriousness: some parents would and some wouldn't. I see this a lot when it comes up in discussions about teachers having sex with teenagers. That if the teacher is a woman adn the student is a boy the clearly he was lucky. As someone said (not me) that if his child was 13=14 and having sex with a teacher, he'd press charges regardless of it being a woman or man.

    I'm pretty sure most of my friends parents were the exact same, so were most that I knew, so it would be in the majority of cases.

    IF anything it'd be more rare if her parents let her go off and sleep with men at the age of 13-14
    She's part of the majority, not the minoity.

    Given the topic of the thread I really should have figured it out. Amusing answer though! :D

    I know we're not supposed to grammar Nazi up the threads, but this is a legitimate concern.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,126 ✭✭✭KwackerJack


    Grammar/spelling police are in the building :P

    Obviously every parent is not as observant as you may think considering the amount of kids that are present in over 18's establishments.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    Still confused....


    what is 'ydber'?

    To the OP question, that topic has come up before in conversation, say you were in a nightclub in Dublin and get lucky, you are hardly going to ask to see her ID now. Surely this has happened before and ended up in court or a caution? Not sure where the law would stand on it.

    Under.

    The law allows for a defence of reasonable belief that a person is at the age of consent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    Under.


    Thank you :)

    I actually googled 'internet slang: Ybder'

    Google did suggest 'under'


    Been a long day, I need sleep or a glass of wine.

    Put the wine into a IV drip while you sleep. That's the real meaning of multi-tasking :)

    Well I don't have any of that fancy book learning meself but I think what's wrong with the above story is that that sequence of events has never happened in the history of ever (except obviously the million times it's been brought up on this board).
