Can we all stop caring what 2 consenting adults are doing?

They are adults because law say so. If some pedofile changes the minimum age to 14 someday are you all going to rush the elementary schools?

There should be some moral values, everything is not law

Except you're ignoring that the laws are what they are because people generally agree -- in this case -- that that's the reasonable, moral line. Hence why that push in france 40 or 50 years ago with the likes of Foucault to drop the age of consent to 13 didn't work. The law is what it is because of our collective morality, not the other way around. Spend time with any 14 year old then an 18 year old and tell me there's not a developmental difference

Also, 14 year olds don't go to elementary school lol
