In many countries, people vote at 18, and in many countries, people can get a job at 18. So, it doesn't make sense that people are considered psychologically prepared to choose their leaders at 18, but when they want to go gamble at a casino, the government prohibits it, claiming they don't have enough responsibility.
It also doesn't make sense that an 18-year-old gets a job, receives a salary, and then goes to gamble at a casino, it's prohibited because the government has determined that only 21-year-olds can gamble, or no one can gamble. My question would be: who wakes up early every day to go to work, suffers with a low salary at the end of the month, doesn't have the right to choose how to spend their own money? some governments go overboard with the laws they pass
That confuses me, too. The age requirements. 18 years old is old enough to be responsible. Then, there are working students. When the security guard sees a guy who wears a school uniform even though he has an ID proving that he is 21 years old or above, they won't let him in. I don't get that. I have friends who had that problem before because they won't let them in, even though they are old enough to enter a casino. They have the money, too, because they worked for it.
There's really something wrong with some of the rules of a government, but maybe it's for the better, so that they won't gamble at all.
