In America 21 is the legal drinking age. In Canada 19 is the legal drinking age. And in France and many other parts of Europe 16 is the legal drinking age.

In America prostitution is illegal except for some places in Nevada (God bless em.) In Canada they don't enforce any law against prostitution (speaking of Vancouver B.C.-kiddy strolls). And in many eastern asian countries prostitution is widely encouraged as an entertaining part of culture.

In Amercia the legal age to have sex or doing anything sexual is 18. In many other countries there is no law and some countries they have laws but they're not enforced. Yet in my opinion, out of all the reasons people have for having sex maybe 10% of those reasons have anything to do with "emotional maturity" or just being "mature" at all.

What do you think are the major differences in culture and society around the world that makes one nation of people have such different points of view about these things than others?

Do you think it would be harmful or beneficial for America to adopt or change some of the laws we have to more closely resemble the laws of a more liberal nation?
