The government should place age difference limits on relationships

When people say "two consenting adults can do what they want" I think of Anna Nicole Smith who at 26 married an 89 year old millionaire.

The law shouldn't have allowed this.

As a rule, any relationship encroaching upon the generational age gap should be illegal by law.

Kevin Costner shouldn't have been allowed to marry a woman young enough to be his daughter. Ditto Alec Baldwin and his fake, wannabe "Spanish" wife (26 year age gap 🤮)

12 years should be the limit. When you think of a man graduating highschool and his future wife was in kindergarten, that is an issue for me.

Curiously, you're thinking fourth dimensionally and not linearly.

There are already laws across the globe, especially in Western nations, which restrict relationships such as a newly high school graduate marrying a kindergartener.

Your statement above also makes the ridiculous insinuation that because my father married my mother in 1979, a full four years before I was born -- disgusting -- my mother must have been negative fours old at the time! 🤪

The problem:
x + y = 5 (y), where x = 2; but for some reason, you're solving for z, which is not part of the equation.

Larry King said after his divorce with his last wife, that the age difference took it's toll. Works for others, doesn't work for the rest.

26 year age gap. That is huge when you're married to a very old man.

Why stop there? Government should ban pineapple on pizza.

I'd be alright with that one.

I actually do much better with young woman now that I am old compared to when I was young and it only because of having more income.

So you can wine and dine them?

It's disgusting for sure, but the government shouldn't meddle in the personal lives of consenting adults like this.

What about in Anna Nicole's case where she was obviously marrying him to become his 'legal spouse' and therefore take his fortune when he would inevitably die?

He probably died with a smile on his face.

Why don't you believe in individual liberty?

Fuck that shit!

The government has too much say in what we do now.

Stop giving them idiotic ideas!

And no one cares if someone else’s relationship choices are a fucking “issue” for you. The topic has absolutely nothing to do with your life.
