[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3534132, member: 25679"] Next thing they'll want to lower the age of the young for adulthood, it'll gain a few votes. One of the worst things they did was to declare that an 18 year old was an adult. They make a juvenile error and it follows them the remainder of their lives as a police record simply because congress passed a law that stated they were adults at age 18. Had congress not done that, the so-called crime would have been exonerated from their record at age 21 and they could go on to live a fruitful life. Many who have records as an 18-21 year old go on to a life of crime I would think- because they have no other choice, the military won't take them, they can't find a good job and to continue down the wrong path seems to be the easy way. At age 17 I was offered the military or jail and I took the latter, all I did was not pay a traffic ticket and they arrested me. They did their job and I can't complain but as a 17 year old I found it objectionable. I let an unlicensed driver operate my car. [/QUOTE]
