Sorry in advance. I find this story at Reuters amusing.
May be NSFW depending of where you work.

Newf, I hate to be pedantic, but 'most' and 'best' are not really interchangeable. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I don't know what I was thinking... it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Wow - a bona fide sensible mature Supreme Court ruling!
Way to go, Canada

No one ever said they were.

The guy was convicted in 1999 for allowing people to have consensual sex in private where no money changed hands and absolutely nothing illegal transpired. It only took 6 years and a supreme court decision to overturn that verdict.
Frankly, I'm a bit underwhelmed.

Just wait for the religous nuts to declare that The World's Going To Hell! as a result.
Notably - they try to tie in the age of consent issue - which is completely unrelated. Although a fourteen year old may "consent" to have sex, they are not considered legal adults. The ruling applies to _adults_.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

No politician will ever make group sex illegal, after all - they're screwing the entire country !

If you watch 'The History Of NASA' backwards, it's about a space agency that has no manned spaceflight capability, then does low-orbit flights, then lands on the Moon.

Canada's legal age to consent to sex is 14.
Unless the older party is in a position of authority (police officer, guardian, babysitter, teacher, etc) then the legal age of consent becomes 18 in those situations.
