| Message | Also by raising the age of adulthood from 16 to 18, you are disenfranchising large numbers of young people in the name of turning this country into a carbon copy of the IRL US something that no one but you ever wanted but you have now managed to force through by reintroducing constantly, has it never occurred to you that others didn't want to play in a country that's just identical to an IRL one, which I am deeply uncomfortable with |
