    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.
