Subject: When Does A Mammal Become Adult
when do animal mammals become adults?
and do we apply the same logic to humans?
if not why?
I think it should be a strictly physical thing, across the whole board of mammals, lest we be hypocrites.
if it is a law thing, then who is right? to drink beer as a 21 year old adult in America? or to drink beer as an 18 year old adult in the UK ? , only one can be right, or they are both wrong.
i think that the only way to tell is looking at it from a purely evolutionary and physical way.
isnt it once the dog bleeds it is an adult?
in the uk and other countries it IS legal to have sex at 16 , and many places in America you have to be 18 , who is right and why do they think they are? just because of a law? then if the american goes to the UK does that magically make it OK?
in the UK it is legal to have sex at 16 but you cant see a HARDCORE film with a 16 year old in it, what makes people think the actual act is less bad than just looking?
seems to be pretty ridiculous how we work things out.
what about some islamic countries where the people get married at 14 or less? how can we say they are right or wrong.
in some places the age of consent is 21 years old, so to them it would seem much of the american sites pushing 18 teens, is dealing in CP.
seems that the only time we will have sanity is to throw away the stone age religious crap out of the window, and judge correctly, how we judge other mammals.
so pick an age and make it a global age limit, and none of this 16 is ok to have sex, but 18 for porn that is bullshit tbh. if it is going to be 18 to watch , then it must be 18 to have, or we are living in a mentally deranged world.
Just think, in USA you can be 18 years old and legally watch a movie of a uk person drinking alcohol when the uk person is 19. (hard to make this point) but it is valid. , (why is it that you dont have to be 21 to see the consumption of alcohol?) so some states in america say under@ge sex is legal, as long as it isnt filmed or recorded, yeah that is consistent.
what about when we watch war documentaries of real people? are we worse than those actually killing?
what age would I choose? 21 why? i think we arent mentally mature enough for many things until we are AT LEAST 21. is mentality a physical thing? many would say yes, if they subscribe to evolutionary ideas. (the law of nature should be obeyed) - BUT we don't go giving animals IQ tests do we?.
generally speaking, its mainly religious and backward ass cultures that define adulthood as being physically mature
in modern societies maturity is defined by mental maturity, so its more closely tied to being intelligent enough to make rational descisions, eg voting for a government rather than being able to make a baby.
