One age. One line.
Why do you trust a 4 year old to say he's a girl, a 12 year old to decide to keep a baby as long as the father is a minor, a 16 year old to drive a 3 ton death machine 80 mph on a road with other 3 ton death machines, an 18 year old to sign life altering debt notes or fight and die for your country, but a 20 year old can't have a beer or rent a car? It's fucking stupid.
Idgaf where the age line is set. You wanna set it at 13 or 30 fine by me. I like the idea of 10 and 20 and 30. Under 10 is a child. Under 20 is an adolescent. Under 30 is a young adult and over 30 is an adult. At 20 you can do all the things except hold office. The 10 mark would be mostly for supervision/education milestones.

I never understood the utter stupidity which is the American drinking age being 21. It's 18 here, and many have consumed it before 18 (they just can't buy it themselves).

There should be a unified age for everything; purchasing firearms, voting, joining the military, consent, financial contracts. What that age is? I dunno...

Brain development squarely places it 21-25 range. The military rejects this because their own studies show that if they don't get their hooks into kids under 18 the enrollment rates fall off a cliff.

Birth rates would also fall off a cliff, as would the workforce.
