I've asked around about this and have gotten a number of responses, ranging
from "I don't know, but if you find out, please tell me" to "Abusing alcohol
and supressing women".
So I thought I'd ask here.

I guess that my definition of adulthood is when you primarily act with maturity. Now what is maturity? I think that it's when you avoid doing something that you want to do, because you don't like the consequences of the action. For example, if you're best friend's SO propositions you, turning down the sex because of what it would do to your friend, and also your relationship with your friend, is an act of maturity. I think that this definition should probably be restricted to refer to consequences in terms of other people, i.e. "... because you don't like the consequences of the action as it affects others"; I'm not sure that not robbing a bank because you are afraid of going to jail is maturity or just common sense. -- Bruce Israel seismo!umcp-cs!israel (Usenet) israel@Maryland (Arpanet)

An adult is one who accepts responsibility for one's actions.
