There are many things in this world that annoy me.
But the total hypocrisy toward age and law in this country has to take top award, it is a total joke.
Government - "You're not an adult till you are 18"
Companies - "You are an adult when we say you are"
:banghead:
I'm sick of paying adult prices for things when in the eyes of the law I'm still a minor!! Its so damn unfair.
The Government should implement new rules to monitor companies' age restrictions and pricing policies!
Also i think the age for drinking should be lowered and smoking raised! They should both be set at 17.
I mean for God's sake, at 16 you can get married, have children, and become addicted to fags, but you can't buy a bottle a wine from Asda? It's a frigging joke!
