@calestous "ancient tradition" world wide is that at 13 you are an adult, so why should we not give full adult rights to all 13 yr olds?

@artofclasswar I am focusing on modern tradition. -
@calestous doesn't the term "modern tradition" rank right up there with "military intelligence" but still why not 13? -
@artofclasswar Tradition is constantly being invented. 13 is plausible. There is a German proposal for voting for all ages. -
@calestous so how long does an invented idea have to be around for it to be a tradition? Why did you push 16 over the German proposed 13? -
@artofclasswar Please the article. It includes the rationale for 16. -
@calestous read it twice now, enjoyed it! saw nothing that supported 16 over 13 other than "some other guys are doing 16" I miss something? -
@artofclasswar Look at the trends. It goes in jumps based on acceptability. Big leaps will pass now but might be in the future.
