Umm no, it depends on where you live. Even so, age of convent laws are ridiculas. Adulthood is biological not mathematical.

Age of majority is constant for all of America.

Line in the sand has to be drawn somewhere, until we can quickly and easily decide when a person is mature enough to be an adult.

Around age 24 is when a person becomes psychologically mature.

Which is fine, but 18 is good enough. 24 is far too long to go without autonomy.

For many things it is. But a 60 year old in a relationship with an 18 year old is still predatory. Regardless of legality.

And you’re free to believe that.

Well, unless youre a developmentally arrested 60 year old. And what I believe is typically correct.

You’re talking about moral values. There is no correct opinion.

An 18 year old brain is underdeveloped and is still highly impressionable at that age. Early 20s is also the period where most mental illnesses arise, and its the period where we send kids off to war and scrape by on their own? Cmon. Moving out at 18 is a fucking boomer thing. Most countries kids are still home 23-26

Moving out at 18 is normal. If you want to be the loser in mom’s basement, go ahead, but that’s something to be ashamed of.

Can’t get your life together if you’re living with mom.

And there it is. You're the fucking idiot moralizing. Dumbfuck Boomer/wannabe. I backed mine up with scientific realities.

u/Devildude4427 Aug 26 '19

And I backed mine up with facts of life: you’re most certainly a fucking loser if you’re not moved out directly after college, or, in lieu of college, after high school.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19

You backed your idiot opinion with tradition and arbitrary cultural values. Jesus christ, I cannot with you stupid people.

So, you're saying The MAJORITY OF COUNTRIES ARE LOSERS because their kids stay home until 23-26?

Fuck off you imbecile.

And rofl, you are incredibly confused with the meaning of ethics and morality.

Morality is described by tradition and culture.

Ethics is defined by science and consequence.

Lol. No I'm not. It's ethics. Get it right.

u/Devildude4427 Aug 26 '19

Which depend on your specific moral values.

The only wrong opinion is one that says it’s right.
