The Stupidity Of Society

So lets get this right if your under 18 you not old enough to consent to an abortion but you are old enough to have a baby .
If your under18 you cant have sex with anyone over 18 but you can with someone of 18,17,or16 .
At 19 you can with anyone of any age . So in one day you go from one group to another and makes you all of a sudden overnight you suddenly are mature enough .
At 17 you can drive a car but cant drink or smoke , but the day you turn 18 suddenly that all changes and your suddenly mature enough to drink and smoke .
At 16 your old enough and mature enough to join the army and handle a gun but not old enough to drink or smoke .
Am I the only one who thinks this is all completely skewed and the rule book needs torn up and commonsense take over and rewrite the rule book .
When is commonsense going to make a comeback and the madness stop .

Well those laws were based on translating common sense into workable legislation

As for illegal one day legal the next unless you want to have a free for all on children that line, some arbitrary date, is going to have to be the cut off

One of the things which you scoff at was actually an attempted compromise which recognised that at a certain age kids start to play around and you don't want to criminalise that - at the same time young people are vulnerable to being exploited by older adults
