Age is nothing but the number of revolutions about the sun. It says nothing about maturity.

Maturity may not be measured in years but it does take years to develop. Usually about 30.

Maturity is an interesting idea.

Buddha - probably aged 35.
Jesus - likely around 30.
Mohammed - almost surely 40 years old.
Confucious - it's confusing, but sources suggest that all his writings came together when he was 53.

Since a prime contender for the US presidency is a Mormon, why would we neglect "Brigham Young".

Of Young's 55 wives, 21 had never been married before; 16 were widows; six were divorced; six had living husbands; and the marital status of six others are unknown.^[31] In 1856, Young built the Lion House to accommodate his sizable family. This building remains a Salt Lake City landmark, together with the Beehive House, another Brigham Young family home. A contemporary of Young wrote: "It was amusing to walk by Brigham Young's big house, a long rambling building with innumerable doors. Each wife has an establishment of her own, consisting of parlor, bedroom, and a front door, the key of which she keeps in her pocket."^[33] At the time of Young's death, 19 of his wives had predeceased him, he was divorced from ten, and 23 survived him. The status of four was unknown.^[31] In his will, Young shared his estate with the 16 surviving wives who had lived with him; the six surviving non-conjugal wives were not mentioned in the will.^[31]

Maturity is measured in many ways. In most cultures a certain depth of insight is needed. If what you say is appropriate advice for all, in your time and place, some will listen. Even if you are villified by the wider society, others will pick up your message and run with it.

But the word has been subverted.
A 'mature' man now either serves a woman, or else serves a state that serves all women.

Sorry chaps. You can't qualify as "mature" unless women say so.

At my advanced age, immaturity sounds like a good option!

It is chaps who should decide for themselves if they are mature enough.

It is not up to new age women to decide if men qualify as mature. Those same women are stuck in adolescent limbo where they have plenty privileges and no responsibility nor accountability. They've been given plenty of room to remain as children until they reach age 50. They know nothing of maturity!

One can be a child but for a short period of your life, but childlike ways we can keep forever..

One matures when one starts to get opinions and views about things that become more fixed and resistant to change.

If it is at the age of 30 then what one is aged 30 must then reflect on how your life will be from then on..

On my 30th birthday I remember it well..

I rogered a conservative party local authority representative within 8 inches of her life..

By the morning she could hardly walk, pleasure?

The pleasure was all mine!!

Hehe!

You're past 30 years of age and you're still trolling for trout?

I am nearly 50 and trout keeps appearing in my stream.. As soon as I get my rod out it jumps to the hook..

I really need to put it away or keep it to the regulars, I have done my bit serving the ladies, much that they would prefer I continued.. A man needs to enjoy his retirement, not suffer the stress of the wound!

I have much admiration for the celibate men of this world..

Its called a British (or black) sense of humour.... don't worry after a while you'll get it.

If a 12 year-old girl willingly performs oral sex on her boyfriend, it is rape.(Of her, not him. But what if he, too, was under 13? Please ask the Home Office, not me.)

In the UK, rape is only possibly if done by a male. The law puts for the maximum penalty on sexual assault as the same as that for rape but the sentencing guidelines that judges work to put the typical penalty as much less. Females can be guilty of Sexual Assault when they rape a male but not only are they likely to get lower sentencing, the crime is not counted as rape because the law says that females can't rape .. so since statistics show that females don't rape, clearly no punishment is needed against females when they rape, see?

Wow, I did'nt know that - and its very scary.

Its similar with padeofiles. I was speaking to a group of police officers about this and pointed out a large portion of padeofiles are women - the policemen was vey skeptical - until an experienced policewoman stood up and confirmed what I said. You should have seen the look on their faces!
