The OP was engaging in discussion, not seriously advocating a course of action. When you're older, you won't take offense so easily.

This is an important distinction to make, but it's not a black-and-white one. And while OP didn't literally say "I think we should take rights from 18-24 year olds", they do seem to be arguing in that direction.

Please don't condescend.

I especially ask you to avoid condescension since it's been a few years since I was in the 18-25 bracket.
