You did distort it. You tried to make it look like not allowing an underage child to vote (for instance) is not giving that child the same right as an adult. This is not the case. The adult wasn't allowed to vote as a child, either, and so has exactly the same rights as the child.

So, you accept the one of them has the right to vote, and one does not, and they are being discriminated between on the grounds of age. Still, it only lasts 18 (in most countries) years.


And you tried to make it look like a homeowner who is disturbed at 3 am would have different rights than the criminal who disturbs him or her, but the homeowner would also suffer the same consequences if he or she disturbed another homeowner at 3 am, and would therefore have exactly the same rights.

In some states, they do. There are official judgements that homeowners have no rights to defend themselves, and in some they do.

So yes, in my world, the real worl,d some people are allowed to vote at different ages to each other, if at all, and some homeowners can defend themselves and some can't.
