Why? Do you personally know all of the people under 18 in the US?

We are all people, people should have compassion and goodwill towards their fellow man.
How does this equate to making sexual decisions for them?
Quote:
And the common sense to do something about it when someone is being hurt and taken advantage of by someone else.
You are assuming they are being hurt and taken advantage of, or even that "adults" never let that happen to themselves "just because they're adults because the government said so."

How dreadfully selfish it is to basically say "screw everyone else, I only care what happens to me" - another tell-tale sign of an immature mind.
Where did I say screw everyone else? I don't think the government should make sex-related decisions for us. I also don't think they should choose the best car that we should buy, or not buy, and then force us to go along with it. I don't think the government should decide what type of computer monitor I buy or whether I get ripped off by buying a printer from a firm that charges too much for their product. How does that add up to "screw everyone else?"
