Hey you stupid americans (Questions about your law)
 

Why, when you turn eighteen, you can legally buy cigarettes, rent porn, go to strip clubs, and buy lottery tickets...

Yet you cannot drink until you are 21?

WTF!

Speaking of the law, I'm going to call the police on Karl Malone for that five dollars he owes me!

you can't gamble til 21 either. I don't understand it. THAT'S Y I'M IN CANADA LOLOL

yeah, they can send you off to war to kill for them, but you can't have a drink till you're mature enough for that. you know, it might be corrupting to a 19 year old in the military.

the brain fool! the brain!

smoking, porn, strip clubs, lottery tickets and voting do nothing physically to your brain when it's developing. Mind you, smoking is controversial as it is. 21 is i guess when you're brain is mature and you are OK to drink! :D

That's why Canadians are stupid! :D:eek: :D

j/jk. in fact, i wish I lived in canada right about now.;)

probably because it reduces the amounts of deaths as a result of drunk driving

I agree that that law is fucking stupid. *thumbs down to it*

what was it? 11000 gun related deaths?

WAY TO GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT AMERICA

i love the way that non-americans get it...and the majority of americans dont.

Doesn't the brain start to die when you reach seven years old or something? As far as learning goes, that continues throughout your entire life. Bad judgement call!

Shaddup, Junior.

no it's just that america is a protestant society and doesn't value wine as much as catholic countries. except that reasoning doesn't hold up when you look at like smoking which protestants also probably don't approve of but neither do catholics. plus america was sort of founded on tobacco. plus sweden, germany, etc is a protestant country and i doubt their drinking age is over 18. sigh.

No, I'm pretty sure pretty much all of Europe is 18. And I think some places are even 16-17.

Does no-one remember Defenders of the Earth?

Hmm. I don't think that's true, Desi, you CAN gamble when you're 18 because I went to the Miccasuki Indian Casino and they were all fine with letting me in. Also, it's okay to bet on dogs in the race track and they let you play lottery when you're 18.

And Glenn, I think you're wrong... for some reason, I have to be 21 to get into a strip club, cos I tried, and I was all like, wtf? It's not like I haven't seen a woman's naked body before. :(

Maybe these rules just apply in Miami, I dunno. :\

Anyway, whatever, I only have like... 6 more months till I'm 21 god that's fucking long. :/

no d00d, indian reservations don't count! you can buy liquor when you're 5 on those things.

in vegas you can't even fucking stand near a slot machine until you're 21.

and ummmm i think for the strip club thing, it depends on whether they serve alcohol or whatever there. that's why cover charges are so cheap, because they assume you're going to buy their overpriced drinks. I don't think they're allowed to sell alcohol in totally nude joints, but they do in topless, so when you're 18 you can see tits and crotch and crack but can't have a beer, but you have to wait til you're 21 to see tits and drink beer.

Oh. I've never been to Vegas, so... whatever. By the time I get there, if I ever go there, I'm sure I'd be legal to gamble, so yay! :thumbsup:

Whatevar. There's still the Hooters resteraunt. : )

YEAH CAUSE DRUGZ ARE ILLEGAL AND NOONE USES THEM!

i hear in some states you CAN drink when you turn 18... is this TROO?! :D :eek: :confused:
