And that is their right to do so. You may not like it, but you're not a citizen there, so respect it. If you are so opposed to democracy, maybe you should move to the Worker's Republic of Cambodia.
Oh and, I suppose the fact that there is a law preventing sex with minors is just an abuse of a democratic society "legitimise their own bigotry because that is easier than facing up to their prejudice."
Good work.

You don`t have a clear division between the powers of the court in the USA, otherwise the Supreme Court wouldn`t have been able to rule against the sodomy laws in Texas.

Yes there is a clear dividing line between the separation of powers. In that decision, the Supreme Court didn't enact a law, they merely ruled that the law made by Texas is against the Constitution (which it is). You failed to demonstrate how this relates to being not a clear division of power.
