@ArbiterMaul Most Americans grow up in a society that infantilizes them. They are taught that they are irresponsible, stupid idiots until sometime in their mid-20s. This is cultural. It is not based on any facts. Societies that don't do that get much better results.

@ArbiterMaul "Jugendweihe happens when a child turns 14. It involves a similar ceremony, party, and gifts, marking the next stage of growing up. With all the negativity heaped on adolescents, there’s something to be said for this way of celebrating young adulthood."

@NikolaTelsa1776 @ArbiterMaul My grandmother is 85 and cannot pay her own rent. Does that mean she is a child?

Plenty of people of all ages make lots of really dumb choices. That argument is null.

Societies which let 16 year olds drink and smoke had no major problems as a result.

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Everything you have written depends on the idea that 16 year olds are children, and they are not.

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Your notion that 16 year olds are children is stupid AF.

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Did you have a rite of passage like a bar mitzvah when you were 16? (Oh, wait, the 5 thousand year old Jewish tradition says that men become men at age 13, not 16)

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Were you and your friends as tall as your parents when you were 16?

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Did you pay full price at the cinema when you were 16?

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Did you drive a car when you were 16?

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Were you legally allowed to quit school when you were 16?

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Did you have sexual fantasies when you were 16?

@ArbiterMaul @NikolaTelsa1776 Did you have a job when you were 16?
