Probably as much to fear as this guy making a bomb TexasMommaWithAHat Oct 2014 #50
At least they had the good sense to restrict the poses so we don't have any like this. Hoyt Oct 2014 #52
Probably not part of their lifestyle TexasMommaWithAHat Oct 2014 #55
Probably is. No normal kid would choose to appear in a HS annual with guns, nowadays. Hoyt Oct 2014 #59
By guns, I believe you are excluding hunting rifles? TexasMommaWithAHat Oct 2014 #61

Congrats. You've just argued that half of our military personnel B2G Oct 2014 #116
I agree. Military personnel should be age 25 or older. nt valerief Oct 2014 #117
Good luck with that. B2G Oct 2014 #120
I think not allowing them to kill is enough for now. nt valerief Oct 2014 #123
So no military service until the age of 26 B2G Oct 2014 #128

Just verifying I have your position correct B2G Oct 2014 #132
But they can consume alcohol? nt hack89 Oct 2014 #133
So the drinking age should also be 25? hack89 Oct 2014 #126
Don't forget driving! We can't let people with no judgment, Seeking Serenity Oct 2014 #134
that isn't correct d_r Oct 2014 #144
You're right. It doesn't "mature" until age 25 or later. nt valerief Oct 2014 #193
So no voting till 26 either? Or sex? Or driving? EX500rider Oct 2014 #176
It finishes developing by 25 and judgment exists prior to that. aikoaiko Oct 2014 #228
