Great news, Yemen is offering any students expelled to come to Sanaa university to complete their degrees. Those houthis, really looking out for the displaced academics

In the comments:
- Are they shooting an adult film?
- If you don't send the Vaseline, you wont need the HIV test
- I’m ok with the birth control.
- “GET ME THOSE DIVA CUPS NOW WE HAVE A MAN DOWN”
And the ever thoughtful Iowahawk:
"In the 134 year history of the University of Chicago, no currently enrolled student has ever had sex."

Also - "None of them look American at all. Not a single one".
Seriously?
I was only joking

Also, none of them look like students.

@George-K they look a little long of tooth for students
In fairness, some might be faculty.

To me they look like people who ought to know better than they do.
Which reminds me….
The other day during a press conference in NYC the mayor made some statement to the effect that agitators from the outside were brought in to radicalise “our children” attending the university. I agree that protesting students behave like children but they are adults 18 years of age of and over. They should be called adults and treated like adults. Calling them children lets them off the hook for their actions. The mayor, whoever he is, is way out of line referring to the students as children. I can only hope he too knows better. I doubt it.

If I'm honest I don't really think I was an adult until I was at least 25. Some have said considerably later.
-
Point taken that few people, especially males, do act like adults until over 21. Some never do. But that is not the my point. 18 year olds are legally adults, not children. While their behaviour may be childish, their responsibility and accountability are those of an adult.

As I've said many, many times. It's not like, at age 21, the "maturity switch" gets flipped to the "on" position.

Yup. You want the benefits (voting, marriage, drinking, etc) be prepared to accept the responsibilities and consequences

Americans aren't allowed to drink at 18, so they are still being treated differently at that age in that way at least.

In some states, like Wisconsin, it was permitted for beer. A Friday night trip up to Kenosha was a common occurrence in the college crowd.
I believe it's still permitted if in the company of your parents. I had beers at a restaurant with D2 when she was 19.

Which really emphasizes the point that they're not considered to be fully adult. Obviously, they can join up and go fight in wars and shit, but they're not allowed to drink because it's bad for their health or something.

Yeah, but you can get pretty shit-faced on beer, amirite?
But your point about drinking with an adult/parent/guardian is a valid one.
