DaasYochid: In my view, it’s a libertarian issue. If somebody is an adult, then further age restrictions should not be applied. I have no problem with the age at which one legally becomes an adult being 21. I do have a problem with somebody being an adult in all respects except one narrow respect. If you’re an adult, you’re supposed to be fully responsible for your actions and their consequences. If we’re saying that’s not possible until the arbitrary cutoff age of 21, then that should be the age for everything. If not, not. The law shouldn’t differentiate.
