30 makes sense presently, but it would contribute to the problem. And in a perfect world, yes, it wouldn’t be an age, but a level of maturity. However, there is no way to properly administer or judge that, without infringing on basic rights.
16 would be the ideal, meaning, if parents actually parented, and we didn’t have a whole class of elites and government actively trying to destroy any kind of filial piety.
Read “Little House on the Prairie” and lives of teenagers in the 1800s. Hell, even in the 1950s, 16 year olds were practically adults. They were certainly more mature than most of today’s 30 year olds. There is no reason, under normal circumstances, that a 16 year old cannot be entrusted with responsibility, whether to fight for their country, marry, or have a beer.
I agree to one thing. No matter what age is settled on, if ever.. it needs to be across the board, voting, drinking, driving, property owning, military.. all of it and all of the accountabilities that go along with it. 16 imo is too young, I know I had no clue about how the world worked at 16, was still trying to figure out how to deal with things in my own lil social circle.
I do know that it has always bothered me that they allow you to go to war at 18, get charged as a adult at 18 but, not allowed to do other things at 18, like buy alc. 18 is the generic age you finish primary school, expected to go to collage or to get a job etc
