It’s funny to me that you put it this way. Just because in the UK it is historically a punishment for traitors to be quartered.

Don’t be evil

I didn’t realise Greyhound long distance services were considered risky to the point that your children might die on the journey.

I don’t agree necessarily with arbitrary maturity lines like drinking at 18/21, but suggesting people might be thought of as adults at 14 is madness. Most kids aren’t finished going through puberty at that age and it’s different for everyone (by like 5-6 years potentially). I think 18 is the “arbitrary” age for most things because 99% of kids have finished puberty at that age and we aren’t in a rush to get those 14-18 year old working in factories.

The whole “capitalism delayed adulthood to 18” arguement doesn’t make sense to me considering very capitalist mills and sweatshops have historically used child labour throughout history.

Also, very important point most people ignore, the human brain doesn’t finish developing until around 25.
