I hereby decree that you must be 160 years old before you can drive a motor vehicle, you must be 180 before you can smoke tobacco, 210 before you can drink alcohol, and 250 before you can be considered "responsible" by insurance companies.

There are no rights and ages are irrelevant.

Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat.

Wrong, as you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be contorted and used against you.

Sorry, it's only January yet and there's no way that I'm marching in this cold weather even if I had a fur coat.

I am curious, what's exactly what you are attempting to reduce to absurd by this thread?

I hereby decree that you must be at least 27 years old to shave a cat without supervision from a member of the fire brigade. Failure to comply will result in a member of the fire brigade shaving you under the supervison of a cat. Any questions?

Oh and members of the fire brigade who are under 27 years of age are obviously exempt. They can shave cats with impunity, if they so wish. Just one of the perks of the job.

Probably abortion, making the analogy that it means denying some people the right to life because they're too young.

What? I wasn't thinking of that... when I posted the thread... however...

You must be 1,234 years old in order to have a right to die.

Also, you must at least be 9,876 years old in order to have a right to kill.

When you have reached those ages you have the right to advocate in their behalf. Otherwise, you are too immature.
