Someone is positive today...

As to the debate this has spiraled into, I was friends, colleagues and am relatives with a dozen people who went out with 18 year olds who when they were 15. All but two are married to those same people and one of them (my cousin) is the only one not married. Only my sister is divorced to the man she married.

I'm not saying they aren't kids or anything like that, but I also won't say that they ARE kids; they're teenagers and they're at an age where they should:

1. Know better and
2. Make proper decisions and if they can't, then there could be a multitude of reasons why.

If it truly was rape, then the guy should be rightfully arrested, prosecuted and jailed.

However, if it cannot be proven and the chick had a consensual relationship with Carman over an extended period of time and they were intimate more than once, then everyone needs to get off their high horse and just deal with the fact that we live in a world where high school kids do this shit.

Hell, I'm 4 years older than my wife and I took her on our first date just a month and a half before her 19th bday; I can PROMISE you I was more mature/heady when I was 15, than when she was 19.
