I remember when Jerry Seinfeld used to have that attitude. The bit was along the lines of "people ask me what I think about these topics. I'm a comedian. Who cares what I think? I don't care what I think about this."

Clearly that's also how he feels about age of consent laws

No he actually thinks a lot about those, he's clearly very aware of them

What's the deal with the age of consent? I mean, if you're 16 then you're old enough to drive a car with adult supervision and die in a fiery crash, but if you're 16 and with an adult you can't go out and yada yada yada be really tired the next morning. What gives?

I'm sorry, it seems to me that if you're old enough to be allowed to do the activity with an adult that usually ends lives then you're old enough to do the activity with an adult that begins life. It just balances it out.

The kids are the future anyway, they should decide how many people will be around.
