Let me rephrase: Elsewhere in your post, you talk about how people can't really be trusted to make good decisions until they're 20. However, you also say that the age for determining what kind of punishment you should get is 15.






Eh- I don't really have anything against public health care, I'm just pointing out that adding a national bureaucracy, while having some benefits, does not make your information more private.




Well, that's the difficulty. I was pointing out that you can't ban bestiality on consent grounds, because an animal isn't able to give consent in ANYTHING it does.

Cruelty grounds, you might be able to make stick, but then what about when it's obvious the animal is into it? Otherwise I'd have to lay low every time a dog humped my leg.

It's better to find some other justification, because those two don't really make much sense.



Er, not exactly. I'm not saying everything should be like the US, nor am I saying the US has no problems. I was just using my personal experiences of suburbs.

I've lived in cities, and had virtually no use for my car. But I grew up in suburbs, and if I had no access to a car, I wouldn't have been able to do ANYTHING. My parents both worked, and very little was within easy walking distance.



Do you begin learning how to drive at 18, or is that when you have a full, adult license?
Where I grew up, you began learning at 16. After completing a course, you were allowed to drive to and from school and work. Once you'd turned 17 AND completed the course, you had a full license.
