Both you and schraf are skipping over the question of when we become adults.

Both you and schraf are skipping over the question of when we become adults.

When society says we are. In the USA it is 21, in Canada it is 19. In primitive cultures it is as soon as your body is old enough to reproduce.

You do not pay attention. In the US there are dozens of different ages of maturity depending on what you want to do, where you want to do it, who you want to do it with, and what sex you are.
Your reply is of course begging the question. You again gallop happily right over the important bits. Why 21? Why 19? Who set the age? Why do I believe them? Why is it OK that the age of maturity changes culture to culture?

Wow.... you made a lot of words say nothing. You must be very proud.

Interesting statement coming from someone who answers my question of when we become adults with "In the USA its 21"

Sorry, but it seems that the cops won't be letting you bonk any young teenage girls any time soon and we can see just how much you want to do that.
You honestly cannot follow an argument, can you? You haven't even figured out what the argument is about.
oh... and as much fun as I've had watching you make an idiot of yourself, I am really tired of this crap.... so...
you've just become irrelevant.

You know, Wordswordsman, is arguing this same "its just a different perspective" viewpoint.

that's why they can say things like "the splint bones support the foot bones" with a straight face. They should be embarrassed and ashamed.
That little dim shadow on the right side of the picture you posted and next to the big bone, is that the splint bone (that holds the foot bones)?
