He was, in fact, a minor. He was 17 - less than a year away from being 18, or a legal adult.
Now, I'm not sure why, on someone's eighteenth birthday, they're automatically adults. Some make the cross earlier, most later. Much later.
Seventeen isn't very mature, but still (or so I thought) old enough to know better than to do something like this.
Now, like I told Ubergeek2, we're not going to see eye-to-eye here, so I'm not going to start up something I don't have time to finish that won't get either of us anywhere anyway. I do understand what you're saying, and where you're coming from.
Our disagreement (and that of most anyone else who's arguing with me) comes from our wanting different things. You're all about freedom and liberty, and that's groovy. I'm about living without worrying about someone killing me because of where I'm born, and I think that's pretty groovy, too. |
