I don’t know if that’s complaining about guns or the bizarre “phased adulthood” we practice in America. It is really goofy that we make drinking the “final stage” of being an adult and it’s so dramatically delayed from things like buying guns, serving in the military, entering contracts, getting married and driving.

Being eligible to become President comes after drinking age (age 35) and ability to draw on your life savings without facing harsh tax penalties comes even far later.

How about we legalize pot, LSD, and opiates but set minimum age of use at 40?

A lot of those answers were duplicated word-for-word.

Many liberal “talking points”. Our fear of socialism, how we drive everywhere, how fat we are - insurance was a big topic as well.

I suggest individual answers were written on a piece of paper, tossed into a hat, shaken, then pulled at random by the one person who also pulled different ethnic names from another hat...

Actually, I would say that renting a car is the "final stage of becoming an adult.
