I was thinking about how 16 year olds in England are full adults, the idea that teens can decide their own medical care and move out without parental consent sounds amazing and could have honestly saved the lives of some kids I went to high school with. letting 16 teen year olds vote too makes sense since the obviously have a stake in the future more so than older people I would say. On the other hand the idea of 16 year olds binge drinking and being with older adults, and god forbid getting married to adults turns my stomach. I know we have some users from England so I am curious to hear your thoughts. I guess my instinct is to stagger everything at the appropriate ages. honestly sometimes i think 18 is too young to get married lol.
I don't have an opinion on specific ages but I think more granularity is better, like sex and mariage should have different ages, beer and hard liqour should have diferent ages like how they do it in germany, cars should probably have weight classes like motorboats do in canada, etc.
being introduced first to the lowest-stakes version of something seems like the optimal way to go about it since some of these things are matters of life and death.strictly a vibes-based opinion on my part tho
Must be at least 50 to join the army.
101 minimum
Martial law but 'military age' is 65+
Sort of an Old Man's War situation where you must retire at 65, but then join the military and are never allowed to return. Upshot is you get to be jacked and green, and you can fuck without the
coming after you.
this makes the most sense to me, why should everything be all at once? someone was calling me ageist on tumblr and i have a lot of personal bias around this so I was worried I had a blind spot. Ill look into how they do it in germany, thanks.
