User blog comment:PurpleStripedFudgeParole239/Why The Age Rule For Chatmods Should Be Changed/@comment-3424724-20111112020111

When a blog like this was made before, I explained how I felt that the age rule was important because it protected people who needed it. But this year, I take Driver's Education, and now I totally get it. In my state, new teen driving laws had just been passed that forced teens wih learner's permits to accumulate sixty-five hours of practice driving as opposed to fifty, as it was before. So I asked if this applied to adults with learner's permits as well because he said teen driving laws. As it turns out, when you turn eighteen, you can take the road test and get your license, no permit required. When I heard that, I was appalled. I thought, "So people between the ages of sixteen and eighteen need to have all this meaningless knowledge (such as what order the colors on a traffic light are when it's orientation is horizontal-it's on the permit test) and practice hours to get a liscense while adults can just learn how to drive for a few miles and get one like that? Isn't that like saying that once you turn eighteen, you magically get all that knowledge and practice? That makes no sense at all." So now I totally get how the mature users under thirteen feel. And I say, do away with the age rule!
