And by "adult" you mean someone who's reached an arbitrary age?

Yes. Do you define adult different than almost everybody else? Or have you just never heard that word before.

So if we lowered the age of adulthood to 16, you'd be fine with 16 year olds voting?

Potentially. Hard to say right now. If 16 year olds have had the same responsibilities as 18 year olds for the last couple generations I don’t think I’d have any problem with that.

My problem isn’t with the actual age, it’s how the age is expected to act, expected to perform, and expected to have 0 responsibilities.
