Chumpy's logic: when you turn 18, you magically gain tons of wisdom, knowledge, and insight.

Edit - Do you work in insurance policy making? You know, the person that sets the policy drops at 25 because 25 year olds magically get more safe as drivers they day of their 25th b-day?

im quoting the law.

this was a legal matter so its fully appropriate while your childish rant is pure idiocy.

now get mad and cry about it for 12 pages.

There is no draft and he's a underage according to law, so calling him a "kid" isn't sympathy gathering, it's fact. Zimmerman killed a kid. /fact

You can even join the military at 17.

And I checked: the laws say nothing about "kid". It's various shades of adulthood from 16-18. At no point would it ever be appropriate, legally, to call a 17-year old "kid" or "boy" as Bardy and myself were doing. I'm pretty sure Trayvon would object to us calling him a kid and a boy, as well: might bash our skulls on the sidewalk and almost break our noses, to be exact.

It's okay: you tried. Trying is what counts.

With your parent's consent, cos you're not an adult yet. There is also no draft, so he couldn't be "almost legible" for something that doesn't exist atm.

Age of Majority in Florida is 18. Ergo, calling him a "kid" is just one version of saying he's not an adult. Zimmerman killed a kid; this is a fact.

Really? So that eligibility for draft stuff I had to fill out at 17 was fake? 🙂

If the draft is active, please do show it. Last I heard, the draft ended in 1973, iirc.

Not sure what you're going on about, but you're not an adult at 17 in Florida(I googled to make sure), which is the state he lived in. "Kid" fits, Zimmerman killed a kid. How big and scary he looked doesn't matter to the law here.

He also molested a kid, incidentally.

Who cares?

he was talking about the draft registration, which is supposed to be filled out on or before the 18th birthday, so that said applicant will be available from the moment they are a legal adult...which coincidentally and mindblowingly is 18.

30+ pages of scatterbrained and logically convoluted ddm literature will prove this easily confirmable fact wrong, of course.

I imagine Trayon's parents care a lot. Along with other people.

I think it's pretty important to note that Trayvon Martin was not a "kid" when he was killed and the only time it is used is when people are committing the logical fallacy known as "appeal to emotion".

Colloquially, he as not a "kid." Legally, he was not a "kid". In no sense of the word,, was he a kid.

Like that girlfriend he was on the phone with just a few minutes before he was shot and killed...

If you mean it in the manner of "a young goat", agreed. Otherwise in the manner denoting that he was not an adult at 17 by Florida law, "kid" fits.

Kid can refer to 'a young person', so yes, it fits colloquially and legally. Zimmerman killed a kid.

Maybe it's a Southern thing, but I'm willing to bet this is the case in other places too, and you're either being silly or Oklahoma is different in it's use of informal age labels.

Also, is there really a legal definition for "kid" besides the meat of young goats?

Bingo.

As far as that other "kid" shit, I call bullshit. A kid is not a 17 year old colloquially. All of my Floridian anecdotes are 3 times the amount of yours so I win.

That the law doesn't call adolescents and young adults "kid" on the books and 17 year olds would not think of themselves as "kids"? Yeah, I'm sooooooooo weird. dur <----Smilie face proves it.

So we mustn't call Martin a "kid" cos there's not a legal standing definition?

No, mostly because he wasn't a kid and people do it do make arguments from emotion.
