I like American music. Do you like American music? I like American music, too, baby.

I’ll point out that many creatures that have seasonal mating still mate for life.
Diplomatico is so good!
That was the assignment!
Don’t speak for me, thanks.
My position is “let kids be kids” or maybe more like “let students be students”. We expect a college degree for most jobs these days, so if it’s a requirement let’s, as a society, act like it and prioritize their potential for growth while they have it.

I’m totally on board with this.
Any higher on marriage would be antinatalist, but I’m willing to go higher on driving for sure.
The post topic is “hot takes”, so my “always curtail driving” position is technically on-topic for the larger thread. ;]
Only because you think sex is dirty, because you were stigmatized against talking about it at that age.
I don’t follow your argument about sex ed and consent.
Sex ed should start as soon as kids can talk, to keep it from being stigmatized and to prevent predation. There is no need to wait until a child reaches sexual maturity for that; in fact, at that point it is too late.
As to driving, most people shouldn’t be driving, period. We are, in general, not good at it. Leave it to the professionals.
I worked long before I could legally enter contracts. Only one of my jobs has had an employment contract.
I agree with your point that many reach maturity before 25 or even 18, however I don’t think enabling those fortunate few is worth stripping the protections of minority from the rest.
Drinking, driving, smoking, voting, consent, ability to enter contracts including marriage, joining the military:
Raise it all to 25 and be done with it. At 25 you’re an adult, before that your body and brain are still developing.
Last week, my five-year-old hit some litter at full speed and flipped over the handlebars of his scooter.
When I didn’t, I would walk three blocks to the library with my laptop once a day to check my email, read webcomics, look up GameFAQs and stream Gossip Girl.
Maybe the “GameFAQs” gives it away but this was before smartphones.
I’ve seen a few blogs with “Don’t comment to say you didn’t like the article, Doug” as a rule.
I love it, and that’s why I want to improve it. And you can’t fix a problem without acknowledging it exists.
I got a waterproof case, so I use mine as a coaster.
Same, on a vertical spike.
I myself am Christian and have never had trouble getting along with others no matter their religious beliefs. The only conflict is when someone thinks their religion or religious precepts should be made law; I have no tolerance for that.
