these kind of questions are impossible to answer...to someone who said 1 million...would you say no to 999,999?

you can continue to subtract a dollar and there never is a line where you would say yes or no with a one dollar difference

Good point, we should start issuing drivers licenses to 5-year olds.

bad analogy. theyd still have to pass a driving test.

im not sure what you are implying here...

if you are implying what i said is wrong because you could do the same thing with the driving age you are a complete idiot

it is very easy to draw a clear line for the proper age for a driver's license...your analogy is horrible

it is a matter of a opinion, but you can still definitively say yes to a 17 year old..and no to a 16 year old

to counter what your next point will be...no they cannot get their license at 16 years and 364 days...not because that one extra day grants them more maturity, but because in this case it is determining a law and there has to be a logical cutoff

So what is the logical cutoff in this case?

At some point there is a line because someone who will quit for 500k wont quit for 50k. This may not change at some singular dollar. But when?

that is for each person to decide

you cant see this question and just answer 1 million off the top of your head...what im getting at, is most peoples true answer to this question is far lower then what their first answer that comes to them will be

what makes this difference, is there is no NEED for a cutoff which is why the question is theoretically impossible to answer...in the license case there needs to be a specific cutoff for the law
