Why should I recognize this state apparatchik as a "scientist"?

My Lib sister was so happy the Obama Admin raised the children eligible to be on their parent’s healthcare to 26. I told her that people at 26 needed to have their own jobs and healthcare. Her son is now 29 and still doesn’t have a regular job or healthcare. Why don’t Libs understand that infantilizing their children, to higher and higher ages, doesn’t bode well for their future employment opportunities? Or maybe they just figure that all those hard working Americans will continue to support them Ad Infinitum???

Well, car rental companies have always asserted this.

The 24 age is spot on. I noticed in in my son and daughter born in the early 90’s. But I disagree with 10 being the mental aspect and start of a boy entering adolescence. I believe it’s 14 for boys, perhaps 12 for girls but definitely 13-14 for boys and I’m not specifically considering puberty. Just an adolescent mindset.

Better yet. Only those who pay taxes should vote. Those who get freebies obviously will vote for the candidates who promise them more freebies…Democrats.

Been saying these things for years.

I say it in regards to age of consent. It simply takes kids more time to develop than before. Not their fault, there is a lot more to take in.

I advocate raising the age of consent to 25. Yes I do.

Unless of course they are in dem families, then the dependency exists their whole lives.

Male Mortality plots confirm this, going back decades.

Back when we had the Draft, American males matured real quick about the time they graduated boot.

Women like Missy Sawyer wouldn’t know about that.

Meaning brain development continues to 24 and past. A perfect time to introduce “enlightened” teens to super powerful weed, so they can have their brain wiring screwed with permanently, and so those with the inherited genetic marker regions that react to THC at strong dosage—can go on to grow chemically altered brain function and psychological dysfunction. Just as any other harmful outside agent can affect neuropathways and subsequent behaviours. Who’d of thought. Wasn’t it just all “reefer madness” propaganda. Genetics has come a looong way.

This is probably legit. I was told by a physician that these changes are the result of baby formulas containing steroids. Girls develop breasts earlier; and both genders show much more muscular definition than previous generationns. I’m thinking that a lot of the psychological issues, gender confusion, etc., may also be traced back to feeding ‘roids to infants.
