    A magistrate has ordered a home detention report and will decide next week if the 18-year-old is to be released on bail.

    let’s not refer to him as a “teenager” shall we? That little fucker votes

      I hate 18-year-olds being called teenagers. They’re not. They’re adults. Calling them teens is, as far as I’m concerned, a porno thing because it makes it seem more risqué.

        Say the number 18 out loud to yourself with emphasis on the last syllable and realize how stupid you sound

          In the US 18 is legally adult and you can serve in the military. To me that’s a grown up and not a teen ager and I don’t care about the syllable.

            And yet they can’t drink at 18. They can volunteer for death in another country that doesn’t want them there but they can’t play goon of fortune.
