While I acknowledge that people should be responsible I don't know a lot of responsibile 14 and 15 year-olds.
I do however sadly know many that are taken advantage of via older people providing them booze. A disgusting act that takes place far to frequently in our aboriginal communities.
Again... every time someone argues that it CAN accidentally happen, we're setting up pre-justification for it accidentally happening.
If you give people (any age) a legal "get out of responsibility free card"... they will BE irresponsible.
If you tell people they can drive at 16 years old, they will drive at 16.
If you tell them they can drink at 21, they will drink at 21.
If you tell them go ahead have sex, if you get pregnant, we'll just erase it... they WILL go ahead and have sex.
