I'd disagree.
I think its a good thing that countries have minimum driving ages, minimum drinking ages, minimum age of consent for sex and minimum ages where people can vote and enter into contracts.

- junaru 3y agoIt has everything to do with the comment you replied, you just chose to purposefully ignore the obvious point.
- chollida1 3y agoI quoted the comment i replied to. I was responding to this blanket comment. > Laws discriminating on age should be repelled everywhere. I disagree with that and gave various examples as to why I consider that to be a bad idea. I stand by the comment as do many other people based on the upvotes.
- chucksta 3y agoYou changed the context from rules that apply to people born after a certain year, to rules applied to everyone regardless of year. I could be born in 2008 or 2007 either way I need to be 16. But I could be born in 2007 and buy smokes.
