      You can have sixteen guns and get your cousin pregnant, but god forbid you be able to vote or act in a responsible way at that age.

        I don’t think getting your cousin pregnant at 14yo is very responsible but I see what you mean

          You’re right you should wait until she’s at least 16. In Utah if you haven’t gotten a girl or three pregnant in high school, then you’re queer.

      The crazy thing is at 18, you’re old enough to vote but not old enough to drink.

        Is there a historical reason for 21 in the US ? It’s such an odd age compared to most other countries

          Reagan wanted states to raise the drinking age so he threatened to withhold federal highway funding from states that didn’t
