S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
but she's still a minor herself.
She wasn't a minor. She was a freshman in college, eighteen at the least, which I know I've mouthed off countless times is not a minor.

This place does indeed rock.
Your logic better be impeccable, your argument persuasive and your cites accurate or you will certainly be called on it.
I think I proved that very well. (The being called on part, I mean. And in a good way - no one wants to be wrong.)
And check out the new tag - it's all poetical and stuff.
And now, for real, to home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think that was a typo, SA. She's still a miner, at least in some people's eyes. It might not be explicitly supported by the text, but neither is Willow not being a megalomaniacal freak. With good taste in clothing.

Oh, right. Damn. I always forget about the pickax subtext.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
Uh...Ita...so Willow works down in a mine? I think you're thinking of Wesley in the Angel novel "Stranger to the Sun".
And yes, I know you meant "minor"...but I think that in the US you're a minor until you reach 21, then you can start drinking and voting and stuff...care to clarify this, Americans?

No, I meant "miner", because it's only funny that way. Not guaranteed funny, but it's the one chance that post has.

Except for the drinking thing, Americans are legally adult at 18--that's when you can vote, marry without parental consent, join the military/get drafted, etc.

18 is the age of majority in the U.S. - adulthood, etc.
Drinking is a special case - and was raised to 21, just because of the number of drunk driving incidents among teens. Voting (and being drafted into the armed forces) comes at age 18. At age 18, your parents are no longer responsible for you. You are legally free to marry without consent (and in some states, that age is lower).

What a lode. If you're going to continue in that vein, all I can say is I can dig it.

Completely off topic, but I wonder what the stats for drunk driving incidents for drivers between the ages of 21-24 were in Louisiana after the law changed. Also, I've read articles that say one of the reasons for a higher 18-21 rate is that they weren't allowed to buy the alcohol and could only drink when out.
