19 year olds (outside of the US at least) can be functioning adults."

I guessed from your writing however that you were American, and USA is in many ways better than many other countries.

But when it comes to specifically the American view on adulthood and what goes with it, I still think it's ridiculous.

That's not political. It's an opinion.

Sweden for instance have similar ridiculous rules: You can get a license at 18, buy a house, get kids, get married, get drunk on your stag party at the pub, but you're not allowed to buy the champagne for your wedding.



And feel free to check out my profile for what ever reason you like. I left "my" country way back. And i certainly do not agree with all the views over there.

Or here where I am living now... Or maybe you want to check my ethnic background country? That's yet another one. Or my childrens' nationality? Another one... Some of us have actually seen a big chunk of the world and judge from experience rather than Preconceptions. (Yes I've spent much time in the US too)



And no, I sure as all Dante's levels didn't take it personally, since I'm more than 50% beyond 30 even...

My children are all over 20...



I did not check what country you're from. Only US amongst the western countries have age limitations stretching into having to be 21 years old. A 19-20 year old in the US cannot be a fully functioning adult since he/she is deemed too young to purchase alcohol.That was my point. I.e. the following: "And I'm VERY much equipped enough on the issue of maturity, even if you feel you are not...But I agree upon the wishing of having a nice day!I hope you have lots of them.May the sun shine upon your path, always.
