Not just consent. But basically asked for age of consent.

I'll give you two guesses what that link is about, but I'm pretty sure you only need one.

Counterpoint Wikipedia - Consent

Consent occurs when one person voluntarily agrees to the proposal or desires of another. It is a term of common speech, with specific definitions as used in such fields as the law, medicine, research, and sexual relationships. Consent as understood in specific contexts may differ from its everyday meaning. For example, a person with a mental disorder, a low mental age, or under the legal age of sexual consent may willingly engage in a sexual act that still fails to meet the legal threshold for consent as defined by applicable law.

Counterpoint, this is ignoring half the question asked and removing all context. Sooooo... agree to disagree because I read full sentences and not just half the words.

Did you forget to read the full post?

Today, this got me wondering about what other people think regarding the entire idea of children being able to consent to things. The age to get piercings, tattoos and the like because it's always neat to see another take on a subject.

I read the full texts, not just half of the sentences.
