having laws that punish consensual sex between 2 people of the same age is rediculous. two 14 year olds, or two 16 year olds may not have the maturity to deal with a sexual relationship, but this is where we need to instill education and proper moral upbringing. nobody's not going to do it because it's illegal, they're not going to do it because they were raised to be responsible. sending kids to jail for having sex isn't going to change anyting, it's just going to ruin one more persons life because they weren't raised with morals and sense. besides, it's not like spending time in a prison full of social deviates is going to improve their views on sexuality, lets get real. Government, especially the US government, need to get off this childish illogical idea that you can just scare everybody into compliance with threats. it's the same mentallity that punishes us for having a toke in the privacy or our own homes.
