That just delays them raising their college money by 3 years.This is a good point. I don't really understand the people approving of this. If you can vote, you should be able to do anything else. I am not a fan of different ages for different privileges. Either change the age of legal adult to 21, or make everything legal at 18. This mix and match crap is stupid
And yet you only have to be 18 to join the military
R.I.P to all the college freshmen who need to pay off them tuituon fees
I find it really tough to be upset about this.

It was just drinking, then smoking, etc.
Kind of surprised they didnt lower it, but this is stupid. If youre old enough to vote and go die in a war, youre old enough to strip or drink alcohol.
I mean were slowly moving everything to 21 it seems. It was just drinking, then smoking, etc.Then we should just get it over with and move everything left to 21 right now
Then we should just get it over with and move everything left to 21 right nowOr we can get our heads out our asses and stop treating teens and young adults as fucking children.
But that would include voting. Also driving should be 21 then.

Honestly most 18/19 year olds arent much different than children to people over 25 anyways. I do think that after HS there does become a pretty big disparity in life experience depending on the path chosen. Like kids who go straight into picking up a trade or joining the military have on average more actual life experience than kids who goto to college directly after HS without working. Not that I think one path is better than the other.
Who cares though? If you're an adult at 18, that's all that matters.Honestly I agree for the most part. But historically we have moved the age thats considered an adult a few times in history pushing it back slightly later. So the argument is whether or not 21 should be considered the age of a legal adult. I dont care either way but I do think itd be nice if it was consistent instead of different things at different ages of adulthood.
Also, while this could hurt strip clubs, it'll only turn more women to porn or onlyfans style work instead, since that's not 'stripping'.
The ehebophiles are all upset about this. Glad to see Florida doing something good for once.

And throughout the different civilizations of the world it has varied from 15/16 to 21 for men and was low as 13/14 for women (though for women then adulthood mainly meant old enough for marriage/children)

You could always join the military after High School, 17, 18, or whatever.
Good - this is like the first good change I've seen come out of FL in who knows how long.You in favor of raising the military age to 21? How about construction? Logging? Fishing? Police? Fire fighting? Truck Driving? These are some of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Or are you only concerned about the 'seedy' aspect, not the 'danger' aspect.
Youth culture has changed a lot in the last generation or two, and laws are lagging behind. Kids are staying kids longer. If someone is a pedophile for being attracted to a 16-17 year old, then why should it remain legal for an 18-year-old to sell their sexuality in a vocation that's inherently dangerous and seedy?
When was 21 considered an adult? You could always join the military after High School, 17, 18, or whatever.The age of majority in the US was 21 until 1971. In 1971 the 26th amendment gave 18 year olds the right to vote and as a result most states followed and lowered their age of majority to 18. Legally speaking the age of majority is the age in which someone is no longer a minor.
In 1918 draft ages were expanded to include those aged 18 to 45.
I mean, 21 does seem to be the adult age in a lot of ways in America. This would at least be being consistent with that. Whether 21 instead of 18 is reasonable in the first place is a whole other argument.
They can star in porn, but not strip.Lol
