So... brains aren't fully developed until 20, but 16 year olds should be tried as adults? beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 28/09/2009 07:30:49 PM
If, according to you, even an 18 year old can't make good decisions by himself, why would the legal age of being tried as an adult be over 15?

Most of your post deals in generalities rather than specifics, but the general tone of it tells me I would not want to live in your ideal world. Way too much nannying. Having the government legislate people "for their own benefit" is something that often sounds better than it is.


Some minor points you didn't think through enough-

Public health care wouldn't make personal information more private. Private health care ensures much, much more privacy than public health care. It's the difference between having my info in a national database and having it only at a local hospital.

"A child cannot understand the concept of sex and an animal cannot give consent." Well, of course an animal can't give consent- it's an ANIMAL! That's like saying owning a cow is slavery, and eating it is murder. I don't have a problem with banning bestiality, but doing it on consent/cruelty grounds seems pretty silly.


You seem very against a centralized, over-powerful EU, yet advocate those same things for Sweden itself.


A driving age of 20 just seems ridiculous to me- when I was 17, I easily juggled school, work, and a personal life. I'm not particularly special, either- many do that at a younger age. None of that would have been possible without a car. In a city, perhaps it would, but suburbs don't have the same convenient transportation options cities do.
I amuse myself.
