Bill: Childhood Act, Amended
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical Democratic Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2179
Description[?]:
| We believe that legal majority at 14 is excessive. At this age, teenagers depend on their parents. We propose 16, the minimum age for Indralans to complete their education. Please note that this is only article 1 of the original bill. Article 2 has been split off as the Social Services Act. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The age at which a person is considered an adult (limited between 12 and 24).
Old value:: 14
Current: 19
Proposed: 16

| Message | We disagree. 14 is a responisble age. Also they can choose wether or not to continue their education. |

| Message | Sorry about that. We disagree and still think 14 is an age that can vote and have adult responisbilities. They can stay with ther parents-after all some 40 year -olds stay with their parents. We agree though with article 2 and call for a split. |

| Message | OOC: I was 14 no less than two years ago. It is a perfect age to be considered an adult. If you label someone a child, guess what they act like.... a child. |

| Message | (OOC: Your 15 or 16? Nice way to reveal your age to Internet predators) |
| Date | 10:14:58, January 30, 2006 CET | From | Inrala Panjoregu Kiokutou (DPP) | To | Debating the Childhood Act, Amended |

| Message | OOC: Well fortunately for me they probably do not live in my country, let alone in my vicinity. It wouldn't bother me anyway, I can take care of myself. Shouldn't we be encouraging a minimal age for alult responsibility. |
