Title: Well, in the state's eyes at least...
Post by: redsniper on July 02, 2006, 08:28:01 am
I'm now an adult. Happy 18th orbit for me! :D
Now I can buy cigarettes, lottery tickets, and spray paint. And I also get to register for the draft. :doubt:
Oh well, HBD me.

Its funny...in a certain country you can fire a gun and serve in the military before you're legally allowed to drink alchohol.

The UK for example, you can join up at 16(IIRC), but can't drink till 18.

It's actually the same way in a lot of states in the US. The drinking age has gone back up to 21 in many of them.

Dark Hunter sees no advantage to be able to buy stuff like that. I'd have no use for it.

Just one more year until I'm at the same place.

Happy Birthday  :).  Trust me, 19 will be much better.  It was the best year of my life, anyway.

Wow, I turned 18 just over a year ago, and the thought that I can now get porn seriously never crossed my mind! *Runs out door*

CHANDLER: Y'know, I would've bet good money that he'd be the first one of us to get married.

PHOEBE: Yeah, isn't it fantastic?

MONICA: Yeah, ah, but Pheebs don't you think he's a little young to get married?

PHOEBE: What, he's 18.

ROSS: Exactly, it'll be illegal for him to drink at his own bachelor party.

JOEY: Yeah, or-or to get a hooker.

CHANDLER: Always illegal Joe.

Edit:  Oh yeah, happy birthday! :D

It is an article of faith for me that best year of my life has not happened. Because otherwise my life is crap.

Wait, since when did you have to be 18 to buy spary paint? Seriously, I remember being able to buy it all the time when I was younger than 18.  Anyways, happy birthday.

Probably because people were sniffing it (fumes) or something.  Or obviously the whole graffiti thing.

'bout the spraypaint: yes a lot of dumb kids are sniffing stuff like paint, glue, cleaner, etc. so now you have to be 18 to buy it. Of course, even back when I was 16, if I just grew a beard no one would check me for stuff like that.

same here. i'm 16, with one hell of a beard and rarely anyone asks me for a personal ID to verify my age when buying cigs or booze.... thats basically the only two things apart from porn you shouldnt be able to get legally from shops...

I do that all the time, but sadly the rest of the world has these things they want me to do too.
