| Message | It is not meaningless. OOC: Really - in Canada you are an adult at sixteen but have mandatory education until 19. |

| Message | ooc: whats the point in being an adult if you do not have control over your own life? |

| Message | OOC: Be honest - how many adults actually have full control over their own lives? |

| Message | Take away the first article and i will support. A person should become an Adult at the age of 18 not 16. However, i disagree with the changing of age and compulsary schooling. |

| Message | ooc: PDA, all adults have access to full control over there own lives unless they have committed a crime. Whether they choose to use that access is another matter. Forcing adults to go to school is a tad odd, and merely reaffirms that those 'adults' aged 16-19 are still children who do not control their own lives. |

| Message | it IS meaningless, even if it is in function in canada! How do they explain that legal (and of course innocent) adults have to be every day in a classroom, in a certain school, while all other adults, legally their equals, are free either to work or to study or whatever they prefer?? ALP: I don't understand your post : do you agree with the change of the legal age to be an adult or with the shortest length of compulsory studies? |

| Message | Common sense will prevail, and adults shall no longer be forced to go to school. |

| Message | I agree with article 1 but not article 2. |

| Message | OOC: Really - in Canada you are an adult at sixteen but have mandatory education until 19. I'm not sure that's accurate. You cannot vote before 18 in Canada and - in Quebec, at least - school is mandatory until 16. However, at 16, some rules applying to adults apply to you (such as employment regulation, etc.). But the same thing is true for 14 (abortion, consent to a medical treatment, etc. and before the consent age was changed for 16, a 14 year old person could consent to have a sexual intercourse with an adult). |
