We see teens employed at the exact same jobs as other adults, doing the exact same work for the exact same pay, and paying the exact same taxes, driving the same cars on the same roads.

16 year olds have beards, and breasts, they are 100% completely adult in every way.

    Except for their brains not having finished developing and lacking any real life experience, sure.

      “finish developing” is a giant red herring.

      Our brains and bodies never stop changing. There is no point of “finish developing”. and even if there was that doesn’t mean that people before that point are stupid. The whole idea is garbage that bigots use to justify hating on specific demographic.

      and “lacking any real life experience”? well, sure, because we barred them from entering adult society. They have been legally and socially prevented from gaining any of that experience. That’s not a problem with them, that’s a direct result of us treating them like shit, and creating a problem that need not exist.

          So I easily smash your dumb argument, and you immediately reach for the ad hominem.

          Cool.

          You have zero substance. I provided a clear argument showing how you are completely wrong, and you bla bla bla about nothing. Embarrassing, dude.

              Oooooo. Clever.

              (I’ve only been on Lemmy for a short time. Is there anyone here with an IQ over 85?)

              EDIT: this place is teeming with vile scumbags
