| Message | No (not without suitable reforms in culture/education). |
| Date | 22:28:34, May 09, 2007 CET | From |  Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Youth Empowerment Act of 2401 |
| Message | Reforms? We have laws against child labor. Laws mandating taxpayer support of K-12 schooling. Subsidies for low-income children and families. Plus, the state subsidizes a system of universities and colleges. Have the socialists even read the current laws as they stand? What more do you want? Oh, right, everyone as long as someone else is paying for it! |

| Message | Kids at that age's brains aren't fully developed. Their instinct prevails over rational thought. 18 is a perfectly suitable age and 17 would be too if all grew at the same rate (which doesn't happen), but some at 17 still aren't mature enough. 16 is out of the question for the CP, because we are basing our facts on sound scientific research. |
