In the United States, I am now legal to purchase and possess tobacco, handguns, pornography, and sign contracts.
In many European countries, I am now alcohol-legal.
Also, I'm 18.
****.
-
HBD :cool:
You're also legal to star in pornography, if that's up your alley.... :nervous:
And I thought handguns were 21, but maybe that's by state.
-
i always thought it was rifles and shotguns at 18 handguns at 21, but yea it varies from state to state.

You get over it.

my 18th came and went with little ado. a few days later i went to a nice dinner with my girlfriend who i didn't want to be with anymore. the girl i DID want didn't know who i was when i called. that was a bit of a punch to my ego's testicles.
-
I turned 18 this year as well, I know that feel sigtau. :D Except over here, I'm alcohol legal too! You should come 'round sometime.
I'll be looking forward to sigtaumakesaporno.

i thought you were older than that. coulda sworn you were just a few years younger than me.
-
I thought I was a bit older than that as well. :P But yeah, no, still barely legal.

Challenge accepted.

Expect trouble to come your way uninvited. Happens to everyone who turns 18.

I remember my parents telling me when I turned 18 "Now you can go to prison". And my brother telling me "Now you can buy alcohol". And one of my friends telling me "Now you can buy porn".
Not quite how I would sum up my life after that point, but it was a nice insight on everyone's priorities :P

That was the last anyone ever saw of Dilmah G.
Some say he died of heart failure. Some say he just couldn't bring himself to stop looking for some nugget of truth in the world.
I don't know which version of the story is more correct. All I know is, there was a story.
-
When I turned 18... I bought loads of alcohol. Now I'm 19 and in the states and there are no more drinks. :(

A lot of my troubles seem to have started before I turned 18...

Dekker doesn't buy porn. He woos a female of his choice, retires to her place of resicence with her and then promptly highjacks her wi-fi and proceeds to download several dozen Gigs of porn on his netbook.
He's a true hero.

though the means are impressive, I was referring to the fact that he gets it for free off the net

the loss of mediafire and other such sites has decelerated my acquisition of such materials rather sharply. :P

Are you claiming that you single-handedly drank all the booze in America? :p
-
booze age is 21 in us. solution: go to mexico, its only 14 :D

That would be nice...

I think the nicest part of this is the fact that I don't have to get my parents to sign **** in order for me to do things that require me to be considered a legal citizen.
I mean, still no alcohol, but I don't even care at this point. The aforementioned is enough for me.

On the other hand, now is the time you can get yourself into real trouble ;)
-
It's funny no one mentioned your ability to now vote
Must not be an important thing
-
dont vote, it only encourages them.
i always just vote for the one i deem is most likely to start a nuclear war.

thats probably because though theoretically important, many of the voting population is sick of getting the same old **** from politicians only seeming to care about those who can donate to the party election fund.

Must be a tough choice every 4 years then :P
At any rate, congrats Sigtau on 18, as someone already said, now is the time you can get into real trouble so be careful at times of course.
For me, turning 18 was pretty uneventful, took me a while to realize, but it hasn't changed my life too much except for having to battle the bureaucracy of taxes and everything instead of my parents doing it for me.

Voting doesn't sound too appealing compared to most of the other things. :rolleyes:
-
Oh, it's appealing. Just not as long as I'm in Hicktown, USA (upstate South Carolina), where voting anything but Republican is a crime against humanity.

Just don't tell... and make sure no one's looking over your shoulder? lol

Oh it's the same in Virginia, I imagine most of the south is this way. Personally I've come to despise the Republican party, they have just gotten way too radical. I don't like the Dems either but right now I see them as the lesser of two evils. South Park had it right oh so many years ago when they portrayed our choice in candidates as really nothing more than a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
-
A lot of my troubles seem to have started before I turned 18...
What i'm getting at is two things for people with or without troubles. Trouble comes people's ways uninvited in the sense as i like to put it "the devil forced you to be the dancing partner" (dancing with the devil isn't always on purpose). And the other thing that gets put into perspective is how much bad people really don't like being around good people.
-
Interesting perspective. Can't say I really mix with bad people that much IMO, but only time will tell what my case is I guess...
-
I encounter this stuff almost bi daily. I'll be talking to someone i just met, and then they feel comfortable telling me how they drive home drunk every weekend. I'll say something simply practical like "hey, you should probably stop doing that so you wont get pulled over and lose your license" (let alone kill somebody). I always hear next like clock work is a very uptight self deservingly ignorant and stupid response that tears my head off every time why they shouldn't have to stop, and how dare i tell them to do otherwise, how much of a douche i am, and how they have a right to do what they do (to drive drunk in my country is against the law, i don't see how individuals have a right to do so in light of this).
And booyah, within 1 minute i have expelled 1 or more bad persons from my company that even wont stop talking **** about me. In fact, so much **** is talked about me just from me being the only person to tell a bunch of people the stuff that they should have known from other information sources years ago (basic stuff mind you), other people are very unsure about associating with me (other good people that is). So, i get comments every now and again someone wants to have a chat with me about so and so that i pissed off half a year ago and they're still talking ****, and this good person believes them). These are called stupid good people, and they themselves are too ignorant and don't pay attention to who they hang out with(hell the motto that "person x is nice to me, so then they are friend" is too blind for friendship if you ask me). Stupidly good people are just as bad.
These people who just want to have a chat with me to clear things up. I always decline, it would never end good, it's also pointless. Enough of an example of who i am and why i don't and why these people don't need to talk to me to clear things up with their stupid ass friend is never paid attention too unfortunately (and even my presence invokes a "he doesn't invent fake stories or rumors about his enemies, why would he need to?"). Instead a lot of details are skipped over because everyone is so ****ing stupid (i hate this goddamned town). So, for obvious reasons, i prefer to act like this **** between me and bad people never happened because it doesn't need to be spoken about, remembered or anything (whatever happened is whatever happened, and you can't resolve things with people which aren't looking for resolution).
No one has the balls to pick alliances. And no one uses their brain in modern day america either. All the people i encounter i'm convinced are seriously mentally retarded, despite the fact that they aren't. But, since their education sucked and parents sucked, no one knows how to use their brains so many get the equivalency of being mentally retarded.
This is why i see things the way they are, because things are that crappy. Most people don't give much about me saying "bad people really don't like being around good people". Bad people treat good people like a plague, affliction, illness, cancer. Bad people being around good people is like the air got sucked out of the room and that person can't breathe unless they leave (simply the presence of a good person will cause this). It's even like this with smart bad people too. Bad people don't like being around good people. You can also only do so much to make sure you don't encounter these people, but you still will (lowering the odds of encountering bad people is better than nothing).

everyone is dumb lol

You know what i think of you?
ROFL just joking. Not that everyone is stupid, but it sure seems like everyone around where i live is. A lot of the people i encounter these days in real life that are stupid seems to be on the rise. But yeah, people getting pissed at me for telling them basic knowledge out of me not wanting to see someone dead or without what they need. Oh noes, lets rip his head off for 6 months. The brain is vestigial for many around here where i live. They're lead around by their ball sacks, ovaries, anuses, hunger, and acquisition of unnecessary items; zombies (no wonder they want to bite my head off, i'll get a shotgun). What need for a brain basically around here, the moment you make people use it, they hate you.

S-99, I used to have similar sort of trouble some 15 to 20 years ago in the primary school.
Everything started to click better when I just got rid of the surroundings and could do a fresh restart of my life, I think I have now had 3 restarts (for different reasons) and each time I feel becoming better and better. For now, you may actually laugh to whatever stupidity they tell you, but the reasons why you laugh or smile can be different - think Chinese. Sometimes the surroundings just *are* wrong and you are the only guy to acknowledge it, but rest assured you'll come across to an environment where that ain't so and when that happens it feels like a new chapter in your life. I suggest moving out. It is simply not worth it to waste your life in that kind of place, your work will never get acknowledged and your mind will become damaged over the time for that reason only.
I stopped advising people after learning the hard way that it is also the best way to earn their hatred, even if you were right from the get go. Far more better results are usually achieved by just ignoring the stupidity (or use it for your own advantage) unless somebody's life is in jeopardy, and only partake when they actually ask for your advice. It is a sort of perceptions game, whenever you say something like that, for some reason they misinterpret it to a different seriousness level than you originally meant it - or the message is somehow distorted to "I'm holier than thou" and that is against which they react. Even if it was only supposed to be a friendly advice, you end up burning bridges to that guy forever.
Calling people stupid is also a relatively easy way to burn bridges with them, but for some strange reason taking advantage of the situation they end up in is not (don't blame me, it just works that way) - I recall my brother selling chocolate bars in the army for personal gain of something like 200 - 300 %... man those soldiers become chocolate hungry after a week in the woods, and that's what he capitalized on it. Everybody knew they were being ripped off, but still they bought - and weren't even angry afterwards. Possibly because they still lost relatively small amount of money, but still.
Of course, you can also hint that they might want to reconsider something, but usually telling them that in a straightforward manner doesn't work, and they'll be angry to you because they knew you knew what was going to happen and you didn't prevent it from happening. Beats me how that logic works, but that's the way it usually goes. Sometimes letting people smack heads against the wall works best. We call it learning by the Siberian way, or Siberia teaches.
There are alternative ways of telling people they are stupid in a humoristic way, but that is a double-edged sword, you may piss them of even more if they consider it derogatory. My personal favorites are "Not all Indians are riding on that canoe" and "Not all bats are accounted for on that clock tower" or "That elevator is not going all the way up to the top" , possibly also "He's not driving with the high beams on". (I'd actually be delighted to hear more of these if you happen to have any!) But be sure to know what sort of person you are dealing with before doing this. Some people are capable of pulling this off in away that person does not get offended, while some people don't.
I'll now shut up about this topic.

I'll take you up on your advice on when a good time to give advice is. I agree, i should move out when i can. I already know this place drives me crazy. Not quite in the same sense as you put it as which gives more clarity.
