“Because they haven’t reached the age of majority. That’s why.
Dip wad.”
Well, you know that, and I know that, it is Bayard over here who for some strange reason will not admit to knowing it.
But they are still children until 26 to stay on parent insurance.
How does that fit?
I would keep the age for enlistment at 18, but give anyone enlisting (and serving, not getting quickly drummed out) full rights as an adult.
Not at all, age of majority prevents you from owning a lot of things.
But you sidestepped with this issue instead of how it was a stupid premise to conflate alcohol use with gun ownership into an issue about the age of majority.
Why do you want to talk about kids owning guns? I don’t care about this issue very much.
Don’t look at me, I didn’t come up with the current patchwork of illogical garbage. It has worked out well in the last few years (probably coincidentally) with Bidenflation driving the prices through the roof on individual health insurance, but I agree that it should not logically be a thing.
I don’t disagree with that idea in and of itself, but then you get into issues like fake ID and then people whine about “but I’m a pacifist, why am I being deprived of rights.” Ugh.
Doesn’t make the facts any different. I also have anecdotal evidence that Boomers as a group generally don’t take STDs as seriously as the post-HIV/AIDS generations, so I tend to agree with such stats.
Ouch.
Mine is $800 for not the best coverage.
$1250 for a single person is more expensive than the exchange.
“But you sidestepped with this issue instead of how it was a stupid premise to conflate alcohol use with gun ownership into an issue about the age of majority.”
I didn’t sidestep anything. I was talking from the very beginning about how having two different “ages of majority” is a stupid thing. It was you who wanted to sidestep that by pretending there was no connection at all between the various things that are prescribed based on age. Of course the fact that we restrict them based on age is itself an obvious connection.
