Argumentative Essay: Do Minors Exist?
{Anchor:Peter, Pan}Peter, Pan & Merry 124

One thing to remember is that, as the laws are currently written (both federal and state), sending nude pictures of minors is defined as either child pornography or sexual exploitation of a minor.
Which, of course, leads to absurdities like that case in North Carolina (wasn't it?) wherein two teenagers are charged as adults with sexual exploitation of a minor - said minors being themselves - because the law allows prosecution of those between sixteen and eighteen as adults in criminal cases, but treats them as minors in matters sexual.
I truly doubt that the Enterprise (should it actually exist) could ever enter atmosphere and survive, much less maneuver.

Hmmm. I wonder if maybe our KIA might have a firmware update for the stereo that would fix the same "having to re-index everything every time" in its MP3 player1. At least it doesn't have to start all over unless i actually unplug the USB stick - otherwise it starts where it was, though it loses its "Random" setting.
As you will have seen on Page 19 of Stealin', earlier this mailing, your Ford's SYNC system is capable of calling the cops and ratting you out for traffic offenses, all on its lonesome.
Actually, i sort of suspect that the AutoMag .44 semi-auto pistol is more powerful than the S&W revolver - Harry uses one in a later film (which i haven't seen).
The .44 AutoMag with factory .44 AMP ammunition has a muzzle velocity of 1450 fps and a muzzle energy of 1120 ft-pounds. (With the .357 barrel, handloaded rounds give up to 2000 fps and almost 1000 ft-lb). Best info i can find on the Smith2 says 1154 to 1360 fps (depending on the round) in the 6.5-inch

    The main reason is the law recognizes eighteen-year-olds as adults. If the law were to go by maturity, instead of a set age, there will be complications. On account of the law, statutory rape would be a difficult situation to address. Statutory rape is for someone sexually assaulted under the age of 18. If there was no set age on becoming an adult, what would be classified as statutory rape? Statutory rape would not exist for someone under the age of eighteen. For example, Caiti is 14 and her boyfriend is 19. If Caiti is raped by her boyfriend, she can file for statutory rape. You can file for statutory rape even if you wanted to have sex. If statutory rape was not used to convicting rapists, then rape victims would be more terrified to make an accusation. Do you really want your child or loved one to lose the right to file this against someone? Most criminals are charged with this crime. If statutory rape did not exist, these criminals would be spending less time in jail. In 2000, there was one statutory rape for every three forcible rapes. Three out of five victims of statutory rape are aged 14 to 15. Three out of ten statutory rape incidents are boyfriend, girlfriends. Six out of ten incidents were acquaintances (ncjrs.gov). Do you really want your son or daughter to be sexually assaulted and the criminal to get away with it? If eighteen-year-olds are not recognized as adults we would not have this law to keep children and adolescents…

    Based on the article, ”Kids Are Kids…” the author, Marjie Lundstrom states that children as young as twelve and thirteen are being charged as adults in America’s courts. For example, “On March 9, Lionel Tate-who was twelve when he savagely beat to death a six-year-old girl-will likely learn if he must spend life in prison after his lawyer unsuccessfully tried to put pro wrestling on trial.” This is showing how a juvenile is committing a crime so immense that might put him behind the bars.…

    A teenager should not be tried on the same level as an adult, if they can not do things an adult does. Juveniles are too young and know little about the world; therefore, they should not receive the harsh punishment that adults are being given. Since we are the parents of our kids “It’s why they can’t smoke, or drink, or go to R movies without our OK” (Lundstrom). Adults are lot older, intelligent, mature than teens; therefore, they should not be tried on the same level as adults. Although minors have some knowledge their brains are not matured like adults to make right and wrong decisions. It goes far as beyond to saying teens will not know what they did wrong until they are told. In the article “Juveniles Don’t Deserve Life Sentences” Gail Garinger states, “Brain imaging studies reveal that the regions of the adolescent brain responsible for controlling thoughts, actions and emotions are not fully developed. They cannot be held to the same standards when they commit terrible crimes.” This shows that teenagers are not capable of making decisions and they can not control what they do, even if it is wrong they will not know. Teens should not be charged as adults for the crimes they…

    German Singer Q’orianka Kilcher once stated this quote about juveniles. “I think it's important for us as a society to remember that the youth within juvenile justice systems are, most of the time, youths who simply haven't had the right mentors and supporters around them - because of circumstances beyond their control.” This quote approaches one of America’s biggest question about juvenile justice. Should minors who have committed heinous crimes against the American Society be tried like an adult and given punishments like life in prison? This question was answered in a Supreme Court ruling that stated juveniles couldn’t be sentenced life in prison because minors were still minors, regardless of their crimes. However, despite this ruling,…

    Granted, juveniles should be prosecuted in the same court as adults, assuming that teenagers understand the law like adults but this isn’t exactly true because juveniles are more likely the criminalize themselves by accident. This is because teenagers don’t know the law and they are more likely to say something without thinking because their brains aren’t fully developed.…
