Do you think that age defines maturity emotionally and behaviorally?

JulesKorngold

Maturity is a complex concept that can be difficult to define. Generally, it is thought of as the ability to think and act in a manner that is considered responsible and sensible. Maturity may be reflected in an individual's behavior, actions, and decision-making abilities. It can also be characterized by qualities such as patience, self-control, and an understanding of the consequences of one's actions. Different people may have different ideas about what constitutes maturity, and individuals may mature at different rates.

Argument Topic: None - maturity is a state of mind

@theinfectedmaster

If you are willing to behave and follow the law - then you are mature
If you consume without producing - then you are not mature
If you do produce - then you are mature.
If you are willing to respect the constitutional rights of others - then you are mature
If you aren't willing to respect the constitutional rights of others - then you are not mature
If you are willing to accept the responsibilities that come with sex - then you are mature
If you want only the pleasures that come from sex and not any of the responsibilities - then you are not mature
If you are willing to handle criticism - then you are mature
If you are not willing to handle criticism - then you are not mature
If you fornicate - then you aren't mature
If you want everything for free - then you aren't mature
If you want everything the easy way - then you aren't mature
If you aren't willing to work hard - then you aren't mature
If you commit crime - then you aren't mature
If you do drugs - then you aren't mature
if you decide panhandle even though you can work - then you aren't mature
If you have to depend on welfare - then you aren't mature
If you have to depend on government for everything - then you aren't mature

I could go on and on, but these are the most important.
