I don’t want it actually. I’m fine with it being 18. But other people seem to have a problem with huge age gaps and I’m trying to find a solution to that
Don’t you think there should be something preventing 30 and 40 year olds dating 18 year olds besides social pressure to not do so?
if we made it that way i feel like we'd start trying to prevent 30 and 40 year olds from dating 20 year olds after doing that
Nicotine is 21 and over at least in my state

Nope that 18 year old can make that decision
Yea but you don't want it too high where people are going to jail for doing nothing morally wrong
And you don't want it too low where pedos get away with serving time on legal technicalities
I agree, 18 seems fair. Technically your out of HS and off into the real world.
Agreed I thought it was nationwide but I'm now finding out that this is a stupid Michigan thing. Was just raised too.
That's so annoyingly stupid of Michigan to do that

Well I just Googled it and apparently trump signed the bill
How the f*** does that even work? Is this what his executive orders led to? I remember him doing batshit insane s*** to curb the vaporizer market but why only Michigan
What really should be discussed more often is girls lying about age/consent
The Shawn oakman story is a prime example.
No this wouldn’t work effectively. Unless you extend high school till like
20 and make college just like the actual major and grad school and not those first two bullshit years.

Yea that's very concerning
I feel like the two biggest fears for young adults in the whole "hookup culture" era is: #1 people lying about their age and #2 girls lying about what actually happened due to post-sex regret and creating a fake #MeToo accusation

First two years are important for liberal education and high schools can't be trusted to teach it.
I shouldn't be expected to know stats before college
Also I nearly failed my algebra course because I learned next to nothing in high school regarding math and it was like a baby's first college class
bro idk about this predatory s*** lol im just saying i wish ill still be f***ing 20 year olds when im 60 f*** this new wave lol

Mannnn I used to walk on egg shells when I was 19-21. Cause I came from a small town place, so badd HS girls would always be at college house parties.

That was smart of you to avoid drunk hook ups at college
What's sad is that the "#BelieveAllWomen" feminist movement will actaully end up hurting real victims due to all of the fake stories made up by girls who lie for clout

yeah this. Tbh I don’t see any reason for the gov to get involved if there’s consent. Other people should mind their business too.
Speaking of age minimums I feel like the drinking age should be lowered to 18
At 18 you can: have sex, smoke, vote, and join the army and die for your country but you can't legally drink with your friends at college
imagine actually waiting till 21 to drink
Why? This creates a whole nother set of unnecessary control and problems and for what?
Did op really just say that by raising the age of consent there’s no worry about older guys being predatory
imagine actually waiting till 21 to drink
Exactly LOL the fact that the government thinks that 21 is a reasonable number is ridiculous
If they truly care about the welfare of their citizens they need to lower the drinking age to 18 but increase the penalty for drunk driving
if u over 25 dating 18-20 year what do u even talk about ?
Those aren't actual "relationships" for those people though that's just pure s***and d**** with sugar babies
