Would you allow your 16-year-old to have sex?

Absolutely not. As long as they live under my roof, no. After they leave the nest, what they do is their business, but I’ll still voice my disappointment/concern if they’re doing it before marriage.

lol please never have children

Um what ,

My parents have  the same exact rule Yellowhammer says he would have  and so where the parents of almost all my friends.

Guess what I had the best, nicest and most loving parents you could ever have , and every one of my friends thinks the same about their parents as well.

How do you actually enforce such a rule? Assuming your parents would even be able to discover that you did such a thing in the first place, what would they do about it?

[Goldwater]

Um no it’s punishing them for extremely inappropriate behavior , just like they would punish them for underage drinking at a party

Neither sex nor underage drinking are examples of “extremely inappropriate behavior.” Stealing? Yes. Doing hard drugs? Sure. Drinking some sh**tty 4% ABV beer at a friend’s house? Nah. It’s not the 1600s anymore, Abigail Williams wants her Puritan bonnet back.

Nah, I was raised in a more conservative household in this aspect. I don’t plan on having kids, but if I did and I caught them drinking beer underage they would get paddled.

Good thing you don't plan on having kids.

I find it interesting that the liberals of this site are saying they wouldn't mind, while the conservatives are saying they would, given that Roy Moore was accused of having sex with 16-year-olds (granted, that's the age of consent in Alabama) and conservatives defended him.

Not trying to cast aspersions on anyone's beliefs here, or call anyone a hypocrite, but it's somewhat indicative of how willingly people abandon their beliefs just to defend/attack a politician.

is it really that hard to grasp the idea that a 16-year old having sex with another 16-year old is fine, but a 16-year old with a 30-year old isn't?

this is so stereotypical of a libertarian I would've thought it was a parody

I said exactly this earlier in the thread; however, I didn't see a lot of people including that caveat.

I think most people assume that "with someone around the same age" is an implied part of the question.
