To Korea: My sincerest apologies. They probably took the American Government's lead and have orgasms when they prevent kiddies from having fun.
To Noxx: Unfortunately, most kids your age are idjits (Idiot midjits
). A few of them, like you, are probably even more intelligent and mature then the majority of the adult population... but it seems those old timers enjoy nothing more than limiting kids in everyway possible. I'd know. I may be 18, but I still can't do anything... except die for my country or cast a single vote. Of course, they probably rip up my ballot and laugh their asses silly when they see I just meet the bare minimum.
In closing: Age = Experience. Nothing more. You aren't more intelligent, wise, or all-knowing when you reach a certain age. You don't know fire burns until you burn yourself. You can't tell someone not to touch fire and expect them to just nod their head unquestioningly. You have to play around a little and singe yourself. Making it illegal to play certain games and/or drink certain beverages only makes it that much tougher on the individual when that age is attained. Meaning, when you reach that magicol age of 21, you're very likely going to get rip-roarin' drunk the first few nights - everynight. Why? Because, this is the FIRST time in your life you CAN. Theoretically, you shouldn't even know what it tastes like yet, let alone know how much you can drink before the point of no return. True, some people don't do this. They're part of the mature population.
I think I needn't explain myself any further. Everyone probably already agrees or disagrees with what I'm saying.
