lol, I think "exfilration" is probably right but, as OOTSONATI pointed out, 
in addition to having the privileges of voting, buying cigarettes, consuming 
alcohol, and even watching porn, which are rights an individual "earns" once 
they reach the age of 18, they would also probably insist on making it so you 
would have to register for the military at age 16.

"I say right.  This country is too obsessed with crime and punishment to 
begin 
with."

Probably so, but after recent events involving youth, I think it's probably 
Fear and maybe (valid) paranoia that's the driving force behind harsh legal 
sentencings and Zero-Tolerance bullshit and also politicians or people that 
think we need to limit free speech for crime to receed.
