Ironically juxtaposed, the older want to be younger and the underage want to be older.

I wasn't suggesting it would happen too much in pro porn. I was just saying kids can sometimes look older. And CIA or Mossad would pull low down shit like this to take down SaidIt if they could, maybe even make it look like "pro porn" too, whatever that means.

IMO wearing make up, drinking, driving, voting, soldiering, sex, etc should all be 18.

Yes, you're a boob, man.

Sheltering kids and then expecting them to figure it all out at 18 I am not sure produces functional people.

Absolutely correct. For whatever reasons/excuses/external forces, most parents don't parent anymore though. So...

When I was growing up we were usually expected to go outside an entertain ourselves until dinner. I've helped raise a couple kids now and I feel like I spent a lot more time with them since now children stay indoors a lot more.

That is all there is to parenting, you try to guide them and they don't listen and have to learn the hard way like you did yourself at that age, and one of the best ways to teach them is by example.

Sounds legit to me.

Ever read Khalil Gibran's The Prohet? Short and fun.

I'm not big into poetry besides a few dirty limericks.

The Prophet is not poetry. It's a short story.

Maybe I looked up the wrong thing. Thought it said prose.

You don't have to like poetry, your life is living verse incarnate.
