36. They're all arbitrary numbers

but when you start claiming that people are too young to act in a porno movie, or pose for nudie pictures, it opens up a whole new can of worms. Arbitrary numbers only work when they're at least a standard. Thats why the American drinking laws make no sense to me. Here it's 18 (19 in a couple of provinces) for everything, period. I think when you start saying "Well, you can have sex, you can get married, you can drink, you can vote, but you can't pose for nudie pictures" you call all those other things into question. Especially on issues about your rights to your own body.
