But isn't it unfair to keep someone out, who most every one agrees is a
mature person just so in the future we don't have to "deal" with the issue
later?
Shiri should be judged by her merits as a person alone, and not as a
demographic. Just because someone is under 18 does not mean that we should
automatically assume they are immature.
I am 28, and on occassion, have been accusesed of being "immature", yet just
on my age alone, I was admitted to the group. What would happen, say if I
showed up at the next meeting, and acted like a 12 year old? Would I be asked
not to come back again? If that is the case, then you would be judging me on
a "case by case basis", and like I said...I am almost 30!!!!
My point is, that if we group all people who are under 18 together, and judge
them all at once, without meeting them and getting to know them,....then that
is what is unfair!
