I just came here to post a link to that same story.
Some of the comments along the lines of "He died doing what he loved," really piss me off.
I doubt he loved smashing his skull against the pavement.

Wait, who died?
A motorcyclist that was protesting helmet laws. He was in a crash that killed him, but he would have lived if he was obeying the law (wearing a helmet.)

Oh, I see it now. I completely missed the link in that post the first time.
Or 16, or 14, or even 13 in some places... or even 21...
The ages themselves are pretty arbitrary... the idea is that he's dating a woman that could be his daughter easily... and he broke the half+7 rule... 25+7 > 30.

To be fair, he did love to allow for the possibility of getting his brains splattered all over the side-walk...

He may, BUT he is still doing it legally.
As long he doesn't chase girls under age of 18, there is no irony really. (IMO)
Now, if he start chasing underage kids, then we have issues.
Now that is the legal side.
Morally, who knows. Back in the days, older men married younger women to have children.
Yep, to have the child that they married.

huh? You lost me
"to have" can be a sexual reference. Couple that with marrying a child...

I've heard had but not to have.
It is just conjugation.

It's a little archaic, but I still see it in the occasional british TV show.

I've heard people say they've had someone but not that they are going to have someone. If some guy says I must have her I am thinking he means as his wife.... and he is pretending to be Rhett Butler.
or in fact IS Rhett Butler.
or in fact IS Rhett Butler.
There is also an implication of force in that usage... like the whipping and having quote. Which is why it is not used in that sense very often.
There are scant words in our language that at one time or another did not have sexual connotations.
Heck 15 years ago "to talk to" a girl meant intercourse... wait...

Irony cares not for the laws of men...
What if he was dating a 17 year old in a state where the legal age was 16? It would not be illegal either... but it would be more obviously irony...
