I was civil the whole time?

Lil bro still out here arguing. If your goal was to get blocked, I guess you win!

Lmao. Did I already seen your alt? Is it lilbokchoy?

Anyway,

1. That is the only part that even implies kids are included - in contrast to several parts that imply only adults.
2. Get a life, man

I'm happy to be corrected and I do agree it's a bit ambiguous but I don't really see any evidence that this study represents the entire population. It says right there that adults were surveyed and the questions include the word "adults"

You still think you somehow deserve an answer lol

Don't stew over this too long, lil bro. It's not healthy.

Is there another page? I couldn't find a link with more info on the survey but every chart says they ask the question specifically about adults. I didn't look at the "actual percentage" studies but it would be pretty disingenuous to compare their surveys to the percentages of ALL citizens. If that was a bad assumption and they're actually comparing apples to oranges, please let me know!

And as for the survey respondents - you need to be 16 to make a YouGov account so they definitely weren't (deliberately) asking children.

Buddy, you may be an expert in vehicular regulations but I sure hope you don't think you're expert in picking up on social cues.

I will be blunt and leave no room for doubt here - I am not interested in debating this topic nor am I interested in debating anything with you in particular.

Imagine being in a casual conversation in real life and having some random guy walk up and start ranting about a point you weren't making. You're confused but acknowledge their presence out of courtesy. Then they drop another essay on you and this time they're insisting you defend the point.

That's you in this thread. You're that annoying guy.

Please go make some friends. Your smarter-than-thou attitude is absolutely insufferable.

Buddy, do you really think everyone criticizing this uses vapes?

Do you think it's impossible to criticize points you agree with? I prefer misinformation getting called out

Noting the flaws in mythology is kind of important to science...And the article doesn't do it so people in the comments are.

Perhaps don't put words in people's mouths and write dissertations about it? The lengths of our replies should be evidence enough that one party is trying to force an argument and the other simply isn't interested.

Please move on and have a good day!

Why wait 12 months when you could do it this weekend?

I was down on my luck and had to sell a dozen bitcoin for like $80 a pop so I feel you lol

I was literally giving an example of something apparent at a practical exam. I'm not reading another essay from you, farewell!

You asked me why I liked Idea A more than Idea B and I told you.

Now you've just written me a lengthy reply about why Idea B is actually bad and expecting me to defend it.

You are being weirdly aggressive about a strawman and it's extremely offputting. Please don't do that.

Because things change? People get worse at different ages? I dunno man, I like the idea of some routine verification that someone is capable of safely using a 2-ton murder machines.

How many deaths does it have to prevent for it to be worth it?

This was a survey given to adults about adults (and likely by adults, too)

It's true that it would do nothing for someone who deliberately breaks the law but, especially when it comes to the elderly, poor vision and reaction time is a big factor in driving ability - both would be obvious during a practical exam.

But changing traffic laws isn't what makes people bad drivers.

Everyone should have to take the written AND driving portion of the test every 10 years or so.
