I'm not sure what this has to do with holding banks liable for poorly performing loans, but sure, i'll address your questions:

I'm not sure what this has to do with holding banks liable for poorly performing loans, but sure, i'll address your questions:
1. On alcohol- Students can't drink until 21 in the US. Since you didn't know that the drinking age must be 18 in your country. Tell me, Rick, where are you from and why do you feel so strongly about student loans and bankruptcy laws that don't affect you? I find your motivations peculiar.
2.On smoking- I'm all for pushing tobacco back to age 21. It's a bad habit and a public health nightmare. Kids don't know what they're doing when they get hooked on tobacco. Studies have shown that those who pick up smoking at a young age have a much harder time quitting later. I'm glad we agree.
3. On voting- Younger kids mostly don't vote and i'm sure a healthy discussion could be had on that topic.
4. On enlisting- Enlisting fresh meat for the grinder into the forever wars is a privilege now is it? If it's such a privilege how come more elites don't enlist their children? That aside, even if you enlist you can always leave no questions asked during basic training. After you're on active duty, the army can discharge you if you cannot perform your duties due to physical or psychological reasons. You can also be discharged for other less honorable reasons, but the point is that you can get out. It's easier to quit the army on active duty than it is to discharge student loans. How sad is that?
Now that I answered your questions, how about you answer mine. Why can't the banks be held accountable for the bad loans they issue?
I disagree with every single one of your statements. Pushing the age of adulthood back to 21 didn’t make for more mature 21 year olds. It made for less mature 25,26,27 etc adults. The sooner people can take on real responsibility the better. This baby-ing of perfectly capable adults has to end.
