Yay. You'd make a good counterpoint. Is 16 the ideal age for these adult responsibilities? Or can it go even earlier in life? Have there been any particular issues with that age group?
Can it be argued that the some of the problems with teens is that they're treated as kids longer than is healthy? Folks used to be "adults" much sooner. Maybe it's Darwin award fodder, but if an adult makes a stupid mistake, they're morons and treated accordingly. If a child does it, they're "just kids" who couldn't have known better. If a teen does it then they're sort of in the middle, dumb, but not responsible. The coddling that some parents throw into the mix does nothing but protect or encourage some behavior.
So yes, kids should be allowed to start drinking, swearing, fighting, fucking, smoking, shooting, PAYING THEIR OWN WAY and whatever else sooner in life than when they're allowed to now.

There are task forces underway to not only do that, but ensure every home has a large print bible with big pictures of a non-Jewish Jesus. They'll also take any footwear the females may have and ensure all stoves have clocks over them.
If bankruptcy is declared will he be off the hook for the defense lawyer fees? It may be an effort to pay that bill with free "sympathy money" from the community so that their fees can still be met. Maybe the defense team figures he can afford either/or, but not both bills at the end of this.
Some areas have moved electric services from being provided by the government as a utility to private companies. If it's being run privately, I can see most of the upkeep costs being payed by the company rather than by tax dollars.
... but those other people? We'll spy on them like crazy to protect your rights. Terrorists and all that, you know? Oh, we may or may not be letting them spy on you. And don't ask if we'll be swapping notes with them behind closed doors. Only terrorist lovers ask questions like that.
Actually, I have to protest. Beer goggles, while not making the person more attractive, can cause a mating that would not have occurred before. So a 0% chance of pregnancy became at least a 1% or more. That first percent is probably the hardest and most important to overcome.
But that's the beauty of it. Use wolves and let them flourish. That way humanity keeps it's hands clean and fascism isn't a concern. I suppose we could train vampire bats to attack people using cell phones in restaurants or during movies, but then you're just getting silly.
Didn't we just have a discussion about how beer goggles being the only way some people get to breed? Bad eyesight does the same thing, but without the hangover later.
Packs of hungry wolves eating the sickly, old and too fat to run for their lives should be reintroduced into our cities. Save an endangered species and get human evolution back on track.

I adore this post.
I was under the impression Mac users watched porn too. Just a moisture sensor would give false positives.
An excellent point for the next meeting. In the mean time I'll ponder who the hell would mod my first post informative...
Redneck to his wife: What do you need a watch for? I just put a clock over the stove.

True, but I'm sure the term "lowest bidder" had something to do with this as well.

Why be careful with cash as opposed to more easily tracked methods of financial transactions?

Does that mean I'll be able to catch real STDs from bacteria internet porn one day?
Not to mention the money the RIAA "collected" on behalf of these artists might actually need to go to them.
This is slashdot. That energy needs to be directed towards that run off power from a wall socket, not things with body heat and pulses.

Make them zombie wolves and I think we have a workable B-Movie. I almost said a "good" B-Movie... but I corrected myself.
So you don't believe in social evolution?
:) Sorry. I needed to add a bit more morbid humor sauce to my comment.
Beer-googles... I knew there was a reason I keep reading this site.
