Seriously though. I'd be down with those. Voting age probably would be the easiest. Most kids look forward more to being able to buy their own booze than getting to help choose the next old rich guy in Washington. Getting the enlistment age raised would be fought tooth and nail by people who are looking to join up for the college money, and there are a lot of those.
I agree with Mr. Hanky, when a person is 18 they are not ready for such responsibilities. The average male that is 25 has far more sense then an 18 year old does. I would want to add that a person under 25 has no business having children but, that would mean teaching about condoms and birth control pills, in 7th grade since the average age of sexual activity is much lower then it was once was. We can't go around preparing our children with the knowledge of safety, cause you know, it would be a bad thing for people to be able enjoy them selves in their teen years, and be able to not have have major problems when they exit those years. The way it should be is for a man or a woman is education first, placement in career since the first 10 years of your field is getting a solid footing in the company or field of choice, then around 35 to 40 children optional.
Did you not get the fact that I was actually agreeing?!? I don't think those ages will be raised (except maybe for voting age), for the reasons I stated, but I agree they should be.
