    if you get in an accident you will not be shunned by everyone in your family.

    Unless the accident involved your family. Like if you plowed into them and put them all in the hospital with serious injuries. You might get the cold shoulder for a while.

    This drivers license example is a very poor one.

    Some studies have shown the the brain does not fully mature until at least the mid 20's, possibly until the 30's.

    Isn't that when Jesus was baptized? Funny how the GB never mentions when Jesus was baptized.

    Bottom line...If the young ones are "in" at an early age, then they can use their family and friends as emotional black mail.

    Well, you're right, not when an accident occurs, because an accident is out of control. But, if you are Texting, talking on the cell phone, having sex in the vehicle, drinking and driving, there will be consequences.

    If you display genuine repentance.

    "mom, can I get married? I'm only 13, but I am baptized, and baptism is a greater responsibility then marriage right?"

    How stupid. David Splane used the illustration in Oz once that if they can get a job at Maccas they can get baptized.

    Uhh hello - I don't think working at MacDonalds as a 14 year old is a major lifelong decision.

    Maybe when they get a license they can get married, start a family, move into their own house?
