Message | The reason we set it to being determined by a test is that we lowered the adult age to 13 once. This would mean that you would be able to take an adulthood test as young as 13, to be able to get permission to vote, seek marriage, etc. After a certain age, the test is no longer necessary. |

Message | The word is "determination" not "determenation" |

Message | Age is really a conservative value. OOC: I don't value persons based on age. This whole idea of "respect for adults" and "respect for elders" usually gets the reaction of "you'll get a kick in the face if you annoy me enough." |
Date | 01:45:13, May 07, 2012 CET | From | House of Amistad | To | Debating the Determenation of Adulthood |
Message | Vote Yes: Adult status by age ... competancy assumed for marriage, voting, operating machinary etc ... however if an individual demonstrates through objective evaluation they would be legally classified as a "Person in need of supervision" this classification could be permanent or only temporairly imposed based on medical, mental professionals. |
