Eddo36 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 It really should depend on the person. Not everyone should be considered an adult at 18/21, and not everyone should be considered a minor at 17. Since maturity does not matter with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Cant really think of anything I was doing at 18 that I wasnt doing at 15.. It's probably more about boring things like paying bills than trips to the pub and stripclubs. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

alanschu Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I imagine 18 is chosen because, for the most part, it's when the right of passage of school graduation occurs and whatnot. Aside from that...who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 The poll is dumb so I won't take part in it, but as to the topic title, 21 has always been the age you're officially an adult - at least where I'm from. Society might have the right to jail you for the maximum amount of time possible, but you're still a kid at 18. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Canada it's 18 all around for voting, and for most provinces for drinking. Some I believe have 19 for a drinking age. In the U.S. 18 is the age when you are allowed to vote (which is one corner stone for measuring when someone is an adult....others use drinking age). In the Dominican Republic, the drinking age is 15, and the driving age is 17, and 18 for voting (though if you're married, I hear it's 12.....ooo, how about that, I learned something on vacation!).

Chupacabra Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 For a normal person, I'd say late teens. In Eddo's case, never. I would however just like to take the opportunity to say that the drinking age in this country (US) is absolute crap. It's the highest in the world at 21. At 18 we're apparently old enough to vote, old enough to serve in the military (and perhaps die), and yet we still aren't old enough to drink.

LoneWolf16 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 That happens after age 21 too. Frequently. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musopticon? Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I was going to make so stupid drinking-related joke, but realised how stupid this topic is. Now...let's move on. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden.

Blarghagh Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 This is a stupid topic, because 'growing up' is a stupid concept. Just because you can deal with the world doesn't mean you're grown up. I'm eighteen and I'm immature as dingo, and so are most people I know. Heck, my dad is worse than I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
