If you were born in the 80s you are of consent age is correct but also it wasn't until 1986 that the age variable was added to the laws of consent. Meaning, you could be 40 years old pre-1986 and still have a relationship with someone as young as you wanted provided it was consensual. That's where the whole it was acceptable at the time line comes from.
Your 1986 statement is not correct. It depended upon the state, and most states had set the age at 16. It has, over time, been reduced. Now in many states it's 13 (under 13 and the man...or woman...will be arrested).
If you were born in the 80s, you're above the age of consent.
that's true,
this song is so addictive.
agree, its addictive
i saw him yesterday and I swear this was the highlight of a gruelling day, it was fantastic! Amazing song indeed!
I lurrve this song. 'bmth own' is right, its wayy adictive. I love the way he says 80's. :]
LOVE this song
This song makes me feel old... I was born i 1979. And this song makes me think about how alot of the people I'm dancing next to in the clubs are born in the late 80's and even the 90's. The 90's man!!!!!!
I was glad someone else noticed the age of consent thing.
This song was released in '07. If you were born in 1990, you would have been 17 years old. Thus, being born in AT LEAST '89 would have made you 18, thus legal.
But isn't the age of consent 16 or 17 in the UK?
hes gonna wanna be safe were ever this is played...<br /> but if you read<br /> "It was acceptable in the 80s<br /> It was acceptable at the time "<br /> maybe no one really question it then.<br /> On other words I Really love this song I was born in the 80's!!!!
I checked on wikipedia (as it is God) and it says that the song was RECORDED in 2006, therefore making the age of consent fit in with the song. However the line "it was acceptable at the time" is something I'm confused about, I thought it might be to do with sexuality? I dunno if that's the case, im just clutching at straws :)
Yes, the age of consent is 16 in the UK
urcutewhenuscream needs to die. this song is the greatest
