I may go way to far and ramble with this one but bare with me this is my 2 cents at 12:45 am lol. Id say Its all about control. Partially I am quite happy that this is so, it keeps people safe and it keeps people that are immoral, locked up. The reason why there are legal ages to do certain things is because scientists determine that at age X you are conscious enough where you can make your own choice knowing the good or bad circumstances to which your actions lead to. For example they figure at age 18 you understand enough about life to realize that smoking cigarettes/killing yourself is your choice and cannot be blamed on other people due to your own negligence. I guess they believe the body is fully an adult by this age and your actions are going to be judged as the adult you are.

They choose what you can and cannot do because they don't know you, you may not even be able to reason from right or wrong. Thats irrelevant tho they don't know what your capable of or the thoughts in your head. If you killed someone, do you feel that there shouldn't be any punishment involved? Well in certain belief systems this could be the case, you in fact may believe that you can preform such hideous crimes and not be punished but right is right and wrong is wrong. The death penalty was created because of this. If they don't know you, they don't know what your going to do so they are going to give rules and laws which govern you with penalties that keep the good people safe and the bad people locked up.

You also have to look at it from this stand point. Laws keep people in-line. They are set to come with such harsh punishment where they figure only a small percentage of people will break. Some laws are better than others i'd say. I believe in all the laws that keep me safe as well as safety for minors

Do you think its right to have a 40 year old have sex with a 15 year old? Why or why not? I say that a 15 year olds brain isn't in the right state of mind nor mature enough to make the choice of sleeping with a 40 year old man. Id say that laws are set in place to keep this type of stuff from happening.

In a perfect world everything and everyone would have the freedom to do whatever the heck they want to like I said its about safety and control which is morally right for the people. When you are apart of a government ran society they will let you know whats best for you.
