I greeted my fellow 20-ish-year-olds with “what’s up kids” at that age as a way of saying we were still young party machines. I am not disrespecting these folks.
The vast, vast majority of 18 year olds are not in the military, and it’s really weird to consider all 18 year olds adults because a tiny fraction of them are soldiers
I never once said they all were in the military or that them being in the military made them adults. I said if we consider them adult enough to be able to do that, then we need to just consider them adults in general.
Yeah, and I think that’s stupid. It doesn’t match reality. Just because 18 happens to be the age at which some policy says you’re allowed to be a solider, doesn’t magically make it the age that teens become adults.
These are full-grown adults in university. They are not kids.
It’s all relative

I don’t think I’d consider most 18 year old “full grown adults”
Old enough to be sent to die and kill innocent non white people for profit so they are old enough to be adults.

And I think you are wrong.
Lol k. Agree to disagree.
At least the other guy has the benefit of legal definitions on his side.
