I think that:

1. Saying 'yes' or 'no' would be presumptuous and generalizing.
2. It's none of your business and none of my business.
No not everyone, but I am willing to acknowledge that most are not as bright as they could be (including myself when i was that age). And I am pretty sure more adults understand that kind of relationship better than kids. 16/18 is an arbitrary line the government has drawn. I'm not even talking about them specifically. What I am talking about is children. I have never met a child that is actually ready for a sexual relationship.

It is the Adults responsibility to protect the Children and this includes from people who want to have sex with them. It can cause huge psychological trauma and i would rather no child do that. While i am a limited Government person, I think the government has perfect right to try and protect children from going through that trauma. Frankly all parents have a right to protect their kids.
