The Picard Maneuver
agamemnonymousShe was just seventeen, you know what I mean
gramieWhen they released that song, Paul was 20, which means he probably wrote it at 19 or 18. Not too creepy.
Plenty of people would disagree with you nowadays
DasusHands up any non-Americans who think it would be weird for a 17-year old girl to be with a 18 or 19-year old boy?
Non-Americans because America is extremely hypocritical and prudish compared to Europe and we’re all well aware of it so no need to. Although even in the US the most common age of consent is 16 (only in 11 states have it at 18). In Europe only Malta has 18 and Malta is half the size of Rhode Island by population and ten times smaller per area.
Captain AggravatedAmerican here: When I was a senior in high school, I dated a junior. She was 16, I was 17. I graduated, she turned 17, I turned 18. The next semester I would occasionally leave college and pick up my girlfriend from high school.
