So you don't think a mind altering drug will effect driving skills then?

Oh it certainly does affect driving skills, just like alcohol does, in a different way at least. Driving under influence (also weed) is and should be punishable by law obviously. I'm completely surprised you bringing this up because I don't see myself implying the contrary anywhere in this topic.

I haven't heard about any special laws regarding homosexuality over here, but then again we've got gay marriage and such things for quite a while now.

@No-Nonsense about the church marriage that's something I can understand the church being opposed to. Marriage by law should be available for all genders, marriage by religion is a whole other case imo. I'm not religious at all myself, but if homosexuality is against the beliefs of said church I can understand them not accepting gay marriage. I do think that there's a place for homosexuals in religion. Maybe one day, as religion evolves as well it'll be acceptable.

Hello,

At 49 years old, I think that as you get older you understand why there is an age of consent. You might think or know at 15 what you want, but it changes as you get older. You also have to think about this, when do your parents stop taking responsibility for your actions.

"The age of concent" has nothing to do with you agreeing to have sex or not. It is the age that the society you live in says it is legal to have sex. Rape ( a crime I consider worse than murder ) or pedophilia ( which I think is worse than rape ) should be punished very hard.

I am not an American, I am English. We let people drive at 17, when we think they are sensible enough, guess why I think 17 is a good age for sex now.

You bring up quite an interesting point. ''In the society you live in.''
It really does all come down to the society you live in. When I try to apply that to my country (The Netherlands) the age of consent is 16. However, in comparison with e.g. The USA 16 year olds over here are in a different stage of their life, how weird that might sound. The average age of people going to college/university here is 17 I believe, so that also means a big deal of 16 year olds are living the college life. In whatever way you might look at it a part of the college/university life is  exploring yourself, also sexually. Another thing is that the legal age for alcohol and clubbing used to be 16 (alcohol age is now 18, not for too long though probably).  What comes with going out for some people, also sex. The fact that the Netherlands used to be, and still is rather revolutionary with alike subjects also helps I suppose.
The age of consent will always be a difficult subject though. There's a difference between a 15 y/o having intercourse with a 17 y/o, and a 13 y/o having sex with a 22 y/o.



About the CEO getting fired is something I can understand, however I can also understand the criticism that it's getting.

Mozilla Firefox is a huge brand and company, in the world we live in now tolerance towards homosexuals and the LGBT community is growing and it's getting more accepted whether you like it or not.



If we look at this graph (it's data from 2010 so not too accurate) you can see that FF is (or atleast used to be) more popular in Europe than in the USA. Homosexuality is also widely more accepted in Europe than the USA a.f.s.i.k , so with the CEO staying whilst his views regarding gay marriage being public they could've lost more users than with him staying.

For myself I think gay (LGBT) rights should be equal everywhere anyway, but my opinion doesn't really matter.

Nice nomination, will vote later tonight!

On bridge the other day, I had an accidental tk and got rewarded with 1200 ROE.

It's a weird grey area. Technically, just as cheating/hacking you're using a 3rd party utility to gain adventages over the 'average joe' of America's Army.
