Reading posts and blogs in the last several years, many scholars and pundits on both the Liberal and Conservative sides have written and made videos referring to college students as "kids" and stating that they're "still maturing"...
Taking these scholars and pundits as being t***hful... How can "immature" "kids" be seen as ready to v**e, let alone marry?!?
I'm therefore obliged to state that the Federal Government, the 50 States, and Washington, D.C. should all change their v****g and marriage ages from eighteen to twenty-one...
This will ensure "mature" "adults" are seen as ready to v**e and marry throughout Our USA...

Maturity and cognitive capabilities are different in a world full of science and legal principals of law in recognizing responsible reasoning..Take driving rights under the laws.. Some say 16, others say 18..Why, because different measures apply to cognitive ability and sk**ls vs responsible decisions.. Same as executing a contract, 16 too young to have the cognitive sk**l to understand the legality, 21 contractually binding with the assumption they now have the cognitive sk**l necessary to decipher, reason and understand the contract..
More often than not wills used to leave wh**ever to whomever when reaching the age of 21, over the years more and more parents recognize their childs lack of maturity at 21 and moved the inheritance age to 26 assuming by then they would be more responsible with better clarity than at 21..
The left is pushing to reduce the age of v****g to 16 which I find absolutely obscene.. .Are we going to also accept contract law, military enlistment, marriages, at 16 too?? Or how about the proven fact women mature earlier than men?? should we leave men to 18 even to 21 before they are deemed “mature enough” to v**e, drink, go to war, marry, drive etc???
A majority of House Democrats on v**ed to lower the federal v****g age from 18 to 16.
A number of high-profile Democrats v**ed in favor of the legislation, including California Reps. Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Maxine Waters and Ted Lieu, Hawaii Rep. and Democratic p**********l candidate New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Democratic Massachusetts Rep.Pressley introduced the legislation ??? as an amendment to House Democrats’ “For The People Act,” which would overhaul federal e******n laws... I know, I followed it!!!
The amendment fell short at 126-305.
House Democrats v**ed 125-108 in favor of the amendment, with two members v****g present and three members not v****g.
House Republicans v**ed against the amendment 197-1. Texas Rep. Michael Burgess was the only Republican to v**e aye.
