And I'm not even talking about porn, went to Best Buy today to do some last minute Christmas shopping and I got my dad The Good, The Bad and The Ugly on Bluray($14.99), and so I get to the cashier and it takes a bit because she says the computer thinks I'm not 21 and I was thinking she must've meant 18 but sure enough a prompt comes up on the register screen asking: "Is customer date of birth after: Some month and some day in 1991?" I was born 4/26/92, still about a year and half away till 21, but luckily she thought I was above 21 anyway and she didn't even card me, pretty sure she thought I was cute too in addition to that.
But what the fuck is this shit? You lose more and more benefits now as an 18-year old(I've seen porn sites now recently where they tell you turn back if you're younger than 21), you're not an adult at 18 anymore by people's standards, you're just a child who can get drafted, get married, get the death penalty, and buy tobacco, then at 21 everyone can take you seriously. Pretty soon there probably isn't gonna be any benefits to being 18, all of the stuff you can buy will be moved up to 21 and meanwhile you can still get drafted and tried as an adult
