How can people be so fucking selfish? Surely it can't be our DNA.

So heres the scene. I know this 20 year old thats dating a 15 year old. I hate him. I want to strangle him and/or brutally beat him with a bat or other blunt object. However, it seems that i am the only person on the face of that seems to think that way. Everyone else thinks that her being underage and the 5 year age difference is perfectly acceptable. Furthermore, these people are this guy's friends, because, "He's a sweetie!" (direct quote from several people) Also, he's not a bad person because, "He's never done anything wrong to me, and how he lives his life is his business." (another direct quote)

And I just think...what the FUCK has come over people lately? If a rapist is the sweetest person in the world, do we let the fact that he's a rapist go? If someone brutally murders people, do we let it go just because thats how they live their life? If a someone is a known child molester, is he a good person so long as he's not molesting YOUR kids?

I know I might have taken things out of proportion a little bit, but sometimes thats really the only way to get people to listen. Has humanity really gotten selfish enough to say "Well so long as it has nothing to do with me, its not bad." Is a criminal no longer a criminal if they don't mess with you? Are we seriously letting people's personality forgive/excuse their actions WHILE they are doing them?

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention, even though i sorta did reference this earlier. The 20 year old is male, the 15 year old is female.

EDIT (again): alright, fuckers, lets get this over with. i do NOT have a thing for this girl. just because im trying to protect/help this girl means i have a thing for her? if thats your logic, then so be it, i have a thing for this girl (according to you). however, back down here in reality, it really doesnt matter to me who it is, im against this subject no matter what. there are laws of consent for a reason, and thats what im against. it just so happens that im using the two people i know as a frame of reference.

I agree the age gap is messed up, I used to have a friend who was 20 dating someone my age (16 at the time).

If you don't like him just don't talk to him. Just make sure you don't like him for a good reason and not because he is banging your secret crush or just because he is older.

1)Freedom
2)You're comparing two people consensually dating to rape,murder, and molestation. One of these does not belong. The other three are actively harming people.
3)Just tell her parents. If they don't care and you're still mad, you have issues.

He isn't raping anyone. If she is consenting then that's fair enough. It might be statutory rape, but to associate it with real rape (an incredibly violent and brutal act) is absurd in the extreme.

This looks to me like you are extremely jealous and are looking for some way to justify your indignation while massaging your wounded ego. That age gap is not even significant.

yeah sure it's selfish but if something doesn't involve me I don't care and for things that do involve me I tend to avoid them, since this doesn't concern me I don't care he can screw up his and her life as much as he wants but it doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't screw up mine

You are comparing a 5-year age difference to child-molestation and rape. That's quite the declaration.

Great. Wow. I'm absolutely amazed. Shit like that happens all the time, if they're both fine with it, I don't see how it can bother you. Granted it's weird but that's their business.

What [i/]is[/i] wrong with the World is people not seeing the important things in life, and getting occupied by the litter on the side of the road...

Technically it's statutory (It's a 3-year age gap before 18, or am I mistaken?) but if they're fine with it, I guess there's nothing that can be done.

That being said, I do agree that it looks pretty odd.

Well, it's not illegal as long as she's ok with it.
True, I dont see a problem with the age gap, my parents have a 6 years age gap (mother younger).

Age gap's weird, but given my track record I can't judge.

Anyway, for dating just do the aptented XKCD rule: Your age divided by 2 plus 7 is the minimum age you can date.

yeeea if the are both agree obviously theres a reason they are dating now if we say added 20 years to them both making him 40 and her 35 you wouldnt think twice. plus if the are in love then they are happy why do you care. as RetiarySword said if you couldnt get the girl then dont hate the guy that did.

Depends on if they're having sex, really. The age of legal consent in the United States ranges from 16 to 18 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America#United_States] so if this guy is boning a 15 year old, whether or not anyone else thinks it's cute, he could get himself prosecuted for statutory rape.

They're probably getting goo-gooed over because everyone assumes its a sexless relationship, which is pretty cute.

Granted, we're discussing this on the Internet, which is hilarious because let me tell you half the people on the forums of any Internet board seem to be closet sexual deviants. Don't expect the ratio of views expressed on this forum to be all that reflective of real life.
