arguing semantics to win an argument must make you great at parties and nothing I said was illogical. Just because you feel you are right doesn't automatically make other points illogical.

Simply put your "constantly changing" is as much a hand wave over complex topics as my cooking metaphor and allows for significant development of cognition and decision making.

frontal and parietal cortices aren't developed until mid to late teens with maturation continuing for another decade. Maturation is an important part to consider because just because it's developed doesn't mean you are capable of using it effectively.

The frontal lobe is generally where higher executive functions including emotional regulation, planning, reasoning and problem solving occur.

    No. Fuck them. They can leave.

    They will still do business in your country.

    Also countries should tax companies on money that goes out of the country based off of their overall profit. So if Google makes 10% profit over costs the. We charge them 30% tax on the money they funneled out of Australia. Done.

    I have it on good authority from the butcher down the road who says climate change is bullshit because he has lived in this town his whole life. Checkmate!

    I asked him why we never had temperatures above 40c prior to 1960 and now we have rolling heat waves that are that hot. Apparently they are lies that all scientists say so that climate scientists can get grant money.
