- how do you decide when kids are old enough to make their own decisions? I'm 15
- (16 in october) and I feel I'm perfectly capable of making my own decisions. I
- act in a responsible manner, I don't drink or do drugs. there are some 17 year
- olds who do drugs and drink and other stuff. It's impossible to determine when
- someone's ready to make their own decisions. If people want to hole up with
- their computer and d/l a bunch of XXX gifs and such, let them, it's their
- choice. I really don't care that much one way or the other but I don't like the
- idea that "kids" aren't allowed to make their own decisions based upon some
- arbitrary age limit. Okay, I'll get off of my soap box now.
