ReverendJeremiah Wrote:I think everything should kick in at 18 personally, alcohol, voting, etc...but I might be talked to lowering the voting age to 16 if I hear some good arguments.
Argument: they are already drinking alcohol at 16, and partying, and having sex, and have access to drugs. The only 16 year olds that do not do these things do so out of their own values, and wouldn't do it if it was legalized anyway.
Random anecdote: I wouldn't mind that a high schooler was taking cocaine... except that he (14) was obtaining this by stealing it from his parents and *peddling it out to strangers in the city*. He's a danger to himself if he does that at 14. Hence my reporting of him. Hardly the only drug user in high school though

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
