Sweet Sixteen Act of 2014 (Law'd)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Why do there have to be just two stages.

There is a line in the sand, on this side you are a child on the other you are an adult?

Is there not an intermediate space?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Twenty six hours?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Oh come on, for heaven's sake is no one going to answer my question.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I don't think that we should legislate into existence another class of persons without full rights, personally.

Who said anything about legislating into existance? Does it not already naturally exist a state where people are older then children but too immature to be considered adults?

No, it's a concept that has kind of been created since the 1950s.

Would you care to detail how that happened?

Surely, there was some societal or culturally basis for it before hand even if it was the imposition of select few, it must have been demonstrated in some sect of the population.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I kind of expected a history lesson. Not getting it has made me sad. I would like to know how and why such legislative action as that mentioned by the sponsor came to be and why?

This has sat for five days now with no action

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I motion for a final vote as requested by the Vice President.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If I recall correctly from my Baroque era Franco-Spanish history, Philip, Duke of Anjou was just 16 when he was willed the throne of Spain in 1700/1701.

I really don't know, I would like to have some more answers before I vote.

I believe he was, but he doesn't seem to have been ready at the start. At the time of the Battle of Almansa perhaps, but my knowledge on the War of the Spanish Succession is still quite basic...

That said, Nay.

I first got my taste for the history of the War of the Spanish Succession in 2004 when I acquired the game Versailles II: Testament of a King at Big Lots. I only realized later that it is not only rare but quite a bit more expensive then what I paid for it. Anyway it contained some nice charts depicting the relationship betweens Carlos II, Louis XIV and Leopold I, and how there kids/grandkids stood up dyanstically in the struggle, not to mention the years of birth for the dauphin's sons including Philip V.

I am pleased that someone responded but I must say it didn't contain any information on how to guide my vote.
