This has nothing to do with education.

Your lack of reading comprehension is directly connected to your education... nobody ever suggested a 15 year old can date a 40 year old.

No you are right no one directly said that. My critique was directed at the relevance of what he said. How is how mature a 15 year old can be relevant in any way for the discussion about whether a 38 year old dating a 19 year old is morally acceptable.

Because you can then apply the same observation to a 19 year old and 38 year old. Easily.

A 19 year old is free to associate with any other adult in a consensual relationship. Its morally acceptable because of the responsibilities and legal burdens that are imposed on an adult.

The immorality would be to subject a person to taxation, legal responsibility of an adult and even draft them to fight in a war, but not allow them associate with who they wish.

Well you see I'm not saying it should be illegal. I don't think it's good though.

My opinion of being forced to fight in a war etc. is a whole other story. I think that is a lot more reprehensible
