Apparently you didn't read what I wrote.
All throughout human history teens have been getting married, starting families, running businesses, hunting, fishing, babysitting, and doing just fine. Sometime in the last 20 years, however, somebody decided that their brains are bad, so we have to treat them like they are children. Neurology has produced a giant pile of fishy results that don't prove anything at all. You can join the British Army at 16 years of age. You can join the US Army at 17. We all know that teen brains work just fine, but when we want an excuse for being bigots and treating them like dirt, suddenly we've got "proof" that their brains are retarded. It's a giant lie.
