Ha, no. I'd say that there's a consensus that reason says there's a dividing point. Obviously a 3 year old is not able to make "adult" decisions, but a a 30 year old is. So when is the transition? To find that point I don't think you need any cultural perspective, only reason. For example, a girl who was married at 12 is perfectly capable of realizing that that was probably not the best idea even though her culture permitted it. Therefore, culture is no requirement or replacement for reason. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:183848 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
