Another reason why the US of A is fucked

Okay, so today is my birthday right, I went to this creepy liquor store near my house to buy all the shit that I'm suddenly mature enough to buy now that I'm 18, smokes, pornography, and lottery tickets. But the fucker wasn't having any of that, cos the only ID I had was my learners permit, which doesn't have a photo on it. That's understandable, but that's not the point.

The point is, yesterday I was, in the eyes of the law, an immature child who doesn't know his arse from his elbow, who can't be held responsible for his own idiocy (which is not to say I wasn't then, or am not now). But as of today, I can be tried as an adult if I commit a crime, I can be drafted and sent off to some wretched foreign country to get shot by some other kid being made by his elders to go out and get shot at by me. But if I live long enough to get shore leave, I can't fucking buy a round for me and my buddies.

Age limits are fucked. They're a slap in the face to natural selection. Hardly anyone respects them, they don't do their job. In fact, the forbidden fruit aspect makes underage kids drink and smoke even more.
