Tinder Bans Most Teens (gizmodo.com)

Tinder says it will stop allowing users aged 13 to 17 to use its app starting next week. The dating app has allowed users in the aforementioned age range to match within their age group since 2012. Gizmodo reports: The change makes sense given Tinder's status as a hookup app, its features that make it easier to find orgies, and various age-of-consent laws that could potentially land the company in hot water if anything involving a minor goes wrong. It likely won't be too hard to get around the restriction, and might just involve changing your birthday on Facebook.

Who thought it was ever a good idea

I want to know who at Tinder thought it was a good idea to allow that age range any access at all in the first place. I know why they thought it was, but I can't imagine the idea ever ending well no matter what restrictions were placed on it (at least as far as the law's concerned anyway, I'm sure the kids thought it was a dandy idea but they don't get a say in that).

I'll bet two, in fact

There was a girl in my class at school that had, STILL HAS, tits bigger than my mother when she was the age of 14. Several of them actually.

I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that this girl had exactly two tits, and that you have a really, really small mother.

A lot of teenagers celebrated their seventeenth and eighteenth birthday this week.

Why? Shouldn't I take them to the sauna? I'm sure Finland will disagree. Shouldn't we go to the "natural" camping where nudity is normal and standard? Germany and large parts of the Dutch population would disagree. Why should I saddle my daughters with nudity taboos they have little use for, other than to be aware of where they are and how to respond to the neurotic ideas of the people around them?
