The Stupidity Of Society

So lets get this right if your under 18 you not old enough to consent to an abortion but you are old enough to have a baby .
If your under18 you cant have sex with anyone over 18 but you can with someone of 18,17,or16 .
At 19 you can with anyone of any age . So in one day you go from one group to another and makes you all of a sudden overnight you suddenly are mature enough .
At 17 you can drive a car but cant drink or smoke , but the day you turn 18 suddenly that all changes and your suddenly mature enough to drink and smoke .
At 16 your old enough and mature enough to join the army and handle a gun but not old enough to drink or smoke .
Am I the only one who thinks this is all completely skewed and the rule book needs torn up and commonsense take over and rewrite the rule book .
When is commonsense going to make a comeback and the madness stop .

I'm thinking you're not from the USA? Here the drinking age is 21, and I THINK so is the age for buying tobacco and, in some sates, marijuana. And I believe you have to be 18 to join the military. AND the driving age varies, but in my state they've added a lot of restriction up to the age of 21(or is it 18??).

But, beyond the quibbles -- yeah, it doesn't make much sense, does it?

@ChipmunkErnie No I am in the uk but I am glad someone agrees with me . I find the New abortion law in the US just as crazy . How can a girl be too immature for an abortion under 18 but mature enough to have and raise a child under 18 thats ludicrous . Its a child looking after a child and messing up the young girls life if she is still in education . What is wrong with our governments and law makers . I cant believe these jokers are running countries . I just hope that one day commonsense will one day again prevail but its doubtful .
