| Message | I think that 12 is a little too young to be considered adult... Something like 16 would be better if we decide not the keep the age of 18. |

| Message | I don't think so, 21 is a much more sensible age. At 18, heck even 21 a person is far too irresponsible to be given such things as voting rights, the legal right to drink, drive and so on. |

| Message | ... yeah, 12's a bit too extreme even for lil' ol me. I'm open to lowering it from 18, but not quite that far. |
