I just find the arbitrary line drawn at 18 to be ridiculous. So, the second you turn 18 you magically become an adult. OK.

And now it's time to judge societies that decide 16 means adult, or 20 means adult, or 25 means adult.

Was it the US that just decided for us that "18 means your adult"? Why should they get to decide that? Based on what criteria?
