From my limited understanding of the European version of Unions, American Unions are an entirely different beasts in many important ways. They've essentially become a very very necessary but also regularly problematic aspect of the American work force.

She's seventeen - at least in Britain, that means she is over the age of consent. She's probably only a few months off being fully adult under all definitions. I don't think the situation is comparable at all.
That reminds me that I keep forgetting to ask: what is the age of consent in the US? I guess it varies by state but in general? Is it 18?
ackblom12:
16 - 18 is the state range, but I actually think the average veers a bit closer to 16 - 17 than 18.
Barmymoo:
In that case I don't see any problem at all with being attracted to a 17 year old. A 7 year old? Different matter.
Patrick:
Here in California, it's 18. Granted, her birthday's just a couple weeks after mine (we're both January) so it's not the worst thing in the world. And she's one of my best friends, her parents don't think I'm some kind of weirdo (yeah, I've met them both, I couldn't get out of it), she and I get along brilliantly, etc.
I just don't want to go to prison for 20 years and get gang-raped by roid raged dudes every day, call me paranoid
