Age of consent 21
Alcohol 21
Circumcision 21
Draft 21
Driving 21
Smoking 21
Voluntary military service 21
Voting 25 and or pass some sort of test, seriously the average American should not vote. Look at the average American, just look, look within your own circle, do these people have any idea what is going on.


I said 21 for most things, but maybe again like voting, it should be test based and maybe then lower the age, for driving, and military service.

You are right. There are many fools out there that have no idea about anything yet they are allowed to vote and they do so based on a tweet or a celebrities opinion. Oh well.

I don't think they should raise the age of voting from 18 BUT they definitely should not lower the age to 14 as some Democrats were demanding not that long ago.



When it comes to the Draft as some have mentioned, it should still be a thing from 18 and up. All the young men still have to fill out the Selective Service card when they turn 18, just in case, but I wonder if the same Legal requirement is made of the millions of Illegal Aliens aged 18+ that have swarmed the country are required to fill out that card?



Back to the Voting Right. I do know people that should not be allowed to vote and I also know people that have no business owning a gun at any age.

If mother nature intended you without foreskin, that's how you'd be born. There is some scientific evidence that ED is linked to circumcision (higher in circumcised males) as well as diminished pleasure.
Let's apply that same logic to boys who think they're girls and girls who think they're boys.

Yes, very good point.

Alcohol should be 21. With others 18 is fine. Maybe 16 for age of consent. (and 16 for driving).
