Elroy, don't you find it interesting that legally, you can't drink alcohol until you're 21, and you can't buy cigarettes until you're 18, but you're allowed to have sex with others your age?

Not really. It would be pretty hard to prosecute two 15 year olds that have sex together. Who committed the crime? The government can recommend abstinence until a certain age (or financial independence), but it's hard to see society better off if two 15 year olds had sex and then had to serve 12 months in prison!
