That is nice. I was just responding to your assessment that the age of consent in the Netherlands is 14. Which it really really is not. Next time you go around stating fact you might want to, you know, check them first.

In the Netherlands, any manner of sexual acts under the age of 12 are completely illegal.
Sexual acts committed between the age of 12 and 16 are legal unless a complaint is filed. Which generally translates to two kids of equal of close ages having sex is fine, an adult have sex with a 14 year old is not.
Sexual acts committed after the age of 16 are completely legal

(this, of course, assumes all consenting parties)

*all parties are consenting, rather.

[making_excuses]

I actually think it was a teacher in high school whom told me that fact, I never felt the need to look up the specifics of the law, so there is that? Or possibly somewhere on television, or a quiz. Now I am really wondering why we keep saying the age of consent is 14 in The Netherlands...

Though that does not justify me stating a fact that is wrong, I should probably have used Iceland as an example instead of The Netherlands, but as I can't turn back time...

I keep forgetting that age of consent is handled differently in other countries, which does not justify me being wrong about something, but I am used to the fact that the age of consent is the age of consent and it is only one age.

Thank you for the explanation Anon! And I will be sure to remember that from now on!

You know what makes you an asshole? The fact that making_excuses responded calmly and rationally to this; admitted to being wrong; and thanked you for correcting him/her, yet you have yet to say anything in response.

You are concerned only with humiliating others. You like to be right because it makes you feel superior, and because it gives you license to bully. You don't actually care about real people.

lolwhat

The reason I have not said anything in response is cause I was not online. It is saturday night, man, and it is not exactly a hugely thrilling day here on fandomsecrets.

I am not concerned with humiliating others, I am not even concerned with humiliating

I am not concerned with humiliating others, I am not even concerned with humiliating <user="making_excuses">. They made an incorrect factual claim which I corrected them on. No biggie. Case closed. I just corrected them on it cause there is a tendency amongst certain corners of the internet and media to paint the Netherlands as some highly depraved country (weed, low age of consent, killing grannies, oh my!) which it really ain't. It's a pretty boring place, actually.

But you were an ass about it. And you didn't even have the decency to be like, "oh okay" after the fact. Instead, you're responding to me. ME! Who the fuck am I, even?

The person who's gonna be thinking, "oh man, I hope I didn't upset that anon" is making_excuses, and you don't care.

Dude, reading this thread, making_excuses comes across as a level-headed, reasonable adult. I doubt they need you fighting their not-even-existing battles.

I had no intention of being an ass, but if I came across like that, then I apologize. Like I said, the laws of my country often get purposely misrepresented to make us seem like a more deviant or godless place. I guess I might have been more tense about it than I realize.
