A group of people made a law based on their opinions - and this law effects everyone in the country. Huh, just as I thought.
Is there any objective reason why a 15 year-old can't have sex with a 19 year-old in ALL cases? If not, the law needs changing, obviously.
By the way, your presence in this thread has gone thusly:
"These laws make no sense. They need to be changed."
You: "No, the scenario that this law deems crime is bad and so the law deems it crime, justly so"
"Why is the scenario bad?"
You: "Because the law says so."
... Serious, brah.
Quote:if you guys all want to legalize 70 year old men marrying 6 year old girls that's your opinion........ but good luck getting that passed in any modern court....plenty of countries where this realtionship is perfectly legal....(although since it is a homosexual relationship there might also be some problems with those countries involving decapitation and such)Why is what is (or what chance something has to be) law relevant? It's not. I want to argue what's objectively right or wrong. Once we've decided if something is right or not, then the question of whether or not it should be law is a pretty simple one to answer.
