Reply #20: I am Way Past the Age I Should Care About This... [View All]

...but age laws have always irritated me.

In my home state of Indiana (screw you Bush!):

At 14 (or under), you can be tried as an adult for committing certain crimes. You can also screw people your own age.

At 15, you can get a learner's permit to drive. And you can still screw people your own age.

At 16, you can get your license, but you have restrictions upon it until you are 18 (including having to maintain good grades in high school). You can also have sex with whoever you want and NOT get your partner arrested, as long as they are your age or older.

At 18, you can vote, get drafted or voluntarily enlist in military service. You can also buy pornography. But you cannot drink or- God forbid!- rent a car.

At 21, you can do everything but rent a car.

At 25, you can finally, FINALLY go into that Hertz dealership and get that much sought-after set of yellow-tagged keys.

My point is, ONE AGE FOR EVERYTHING, because I am so sick of the hypocrisy of it all.
