Old people: Dont be ageist, you shouldnt assume someones abilies based on age!
Also old people: 17 year olds shouldn't have the right to vote, drink, live on their own or have any of the rights of an adult because they having matured mentally yet...
@freemo it's ok when I do it
@thatguyoverthere hypocrisy seems to be ubiquitous these days.
@freemo it was a joke, but in the case of making sure children are protected I don't really think it's agism. I also think some old people lose their edge and some are sharp as a tack. Some kids mature faster than others and might be ready to take on the world at 16. Most could probably benefit from having a net under them a little while (not forever) until they can handle adult life.

@thatguyoverthere @freemo "It depends" isn't the answer people want, and it sucks for legal policy, but it is so often the correct answer at both ends of the spectrum as well as in the middle.
@thatguyoverthere @freemo Oh, and as far as, "sharp as a tack," my wife reminds me I am VERY "tacky." That's a good thing, right?
