Ah, well it probably isn't very relevant anymore since everybody seems hellbend
on the discussion of what "anti-semite"/"anti-semitism" means/could
mean/doesn't mean/etc. (quite frankly going nowhere) but what the heck. In the
Netherlands the limit is extended to the age of 27 in case you are in college
and dependent on your parents. In which case your parents also get tax
reductions. So a large grey area from the age of 12 untill the age of 27 where
different rights are acknowledged to bring one nearer to full and official
independence of ones parents. With a big step toward adulthood at the age of
18.
