“They are too young and irresponsible. Drinking, voting and gun ownership ages should be set at 21. Driving should be restricted to daylight hours with an adult present until the age of 18.”

They can join the service at 18 and go off and defend our country and die for our country, but you think they are too young and irresponsible.

Yes. Absolutely. In case you were wondering, I was drafted at age 19. I couldn't vote or drink for two more years. The military guarantees supervision, which teenagers need desperately.

Maturity comes in stages. Rights and privileges should also come in stages.
