don't really think that is a big deal sort of lord of the flies indoors might be interesting to see how really grown up they are and how they react and interpret things without adult boundaries.

Well they know they're being filmed don't they?
It's not like they'll be totally unsupervised.... and if they do anything they shouldn't in that environment.. then it would only be something they would have done anyway... whilst sneaking away from the adults.... that's what they do at adult supervised parties.... *er hem* remembers many a childhood party :naughty:

Is Channel 4 full of Paedophiles?

Where the hell does paedophilia come into it, its kids talking to other kids about how they feel about their sexuality, you know the thing millions of kids do every hour of every day just without the cameras.

Personally I dont see what the problem is, ok so no adults will be in this "house" but they are watching, and if anything illegal was about to happen CH4 would HAVE to step in and prevent it.
Which is a hell of a lot more than can happen on the streets these days. I'd estimate from things I have seen that there wont be many 14 year olds that havent tried some sort of sexual experience.

No, and I'm glad you brought the point up.

There are some countries, eg Canada which have what I've heard referred to as a "two year gap" law, ie that provided there's no more that two years difference between the participants, then the (consenting) act is acceptable eg for a fourteen year old to have sex with a sixteen year old would be ok, but not with a twenty two year old.

I almost didn't bring it up... was hoping not to open a can of paedophilic worms ;)

Am very glad that we've cleared that up *phew* :spin:

I know.... :notopic: :notopic: :blah:

Just wanted to give you the opportunity to get rid of those worms regardless .. :p

Oddly enough, a 35 year old man could get away with having sex with a 14/15 year old in the UK - he can only be prosecuted if the girl makes a complaint to the police. She could go as far as admitting to 100 police that he did it, but unless she agrees to a prosecution, he'll get away with it.

The final twist in the 'Section 6' (unlawful sexual intercourse) act is that more than 12 months after the offense is commited, she can no longer bring a case against him and he'd get away with it, such are the UK's curious laws.

Oh you don't need to tell *me* that the UK's laws are serious screwed up in places!

Apropos of the Age of Consent discussion, IIRC up until just before the second world war it was actually still legal for a girl to be married at the age of twelve!

It can come to an end any time you want. All you have to do is admit that I'm right and you're wrong...! :spin: :D

Back in the days when if the mother died, the eldest daughter would take over her role (completely).
So there's a lot more inbreeding in society than you may think!
