I’m in favor of using 26 as the new age of adulthood if we also raise the voting age to that same limit.

    and if we were consistent, we should also forbid drinking, joining military or police, and getting married before 26…

      Exactly. If they aren’t responsible for crimes, they definitely shouldn’t be behind the wheel, in the military or married. Their poor little brains are too undeveloped.

        They also shouldn’t be allowed to declare that they were born in the wrong body and are therefore entitled to chemical castration drugs and cross sex hormones and genital mutilation surgery at taxpayer expense.

        Yeah, I kind of feel the army should be considered a form of child abuse. It heavily depends on underdeveloped brains for recruitment.

    It looks to me like a first step to suppress “life without parole”. Welcome to European-style justice, where you read in the news that some guy who raped and murdered a young girl had been sentenced to thirty years emprisonment twelve years before…

      I checked the local offender registry map this week, and found that there’s a house 1.5 blocks away where FIVE sex offenders live. Or at least use it as a mailing address.

      Am now WAY more in favor of capital punishment.

        When we were looking for a house 1.5 years ago, we found one we kind of liked. Then I checked the offender registry map to find out that two houses from that one (less than a block away) there was a half-way house with a few sex offenders registered. Perhaps what you found is a half-way house as well.
