[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 187202, member: 3485"] OK, well, I am obviously in the minority on this question. I won't argue it anymore, but allow me to wax pedantic for a moment: "Hypocrisy" is condemning something in others that you do yourself, or pretending to be virtuous when you are not. I think that it would be better to say that having different ages for considering people adults in different situations is "inconsistent", rather than "hypocritical", since the latter is highly pejorative and thinner-skinned people than me might take offense at being labeled hypocrites for making a sincere case.
