I have a question for folks. This young man was 17. Most folks in this discussions have said that because he was 17 it’s different as opposed to, say, an adult.

What materially changes when someone goes from 17 to 18? Why would one be okay but not the other?
- rsynnott 1y agoYou have to draw the line somewhere, more or less.
- blackqueeriroh 1y agoNo, you’re missing my point. It’s not worse because he’s 17. It’s all bad. The same bad.

- blackqueeriroh 1y agoStudies show that biological “adulthood” isn’t static, nor is it consistent.
