Yes

That's incredibly well done but it's sad that the richest country in the world can't give a little boy a walker.

THIS.

The great irony is that once upon a time you had to be 21 to enlist or serve in the armed forces. That all changed during World War II when more troops were needed but all the men 21 and older were drafted. So they lowered the draft age. As time wore on after the war people thought "well if they're old enough to fight, they're old enough to vote" and so the 26th amendment was passed. You could but cigarettes at 18, but still couldn't drink so the call became "if they're old enough to serve, they're old enough to drink." Now you have to be 21 to drink and buy cigarettes. Perhaps it's time to raise the enlistment age back to where it was.

Drinking is awful and ruins so many lives.

I feel guilty upvoting this because it feels like I'm condoning the gov't for doing this to kids.

Too true.

EXACTLY! Ages 18-20, You can Vote and Die for your country but, you Can't Smoke or Drink Alcoholic beverages! What kind of Bass-Ackwardsness is that!?

US is weird in that sense. 21 minimum age. Prostitution is illegal, but making porn is legal

This is so unfortunate, son

Tsk tsk tsk…

What!?! FFS... not sure I can take much more of this thread

TBH, could be any country but we have one of the highest drinking ages.

You can risk your life for the USA but you can't vote for who will be the leader of it

Damn

Gotta love Murica/s

I didn' t know that

And here in my country University is free :(

This reminds me of the 1920s recession in Australia. You could take and slaughter a sheep for food as long as you left the skin behind for farmers to get paid back for their loss from the government. Sometimes it's just fair enough...

I bet if he was white they would have written "innocent"

Good on you, mate!

Americans: we're giving teenagers guns, extorting sick people, restricting women's rights of their own bodies, just making America great again

So who's doing the screening on the hiring of the teachers?

Americans can be so kind and helpful.... I don't understand how they don't see the advantages of a european-style healthcare system

And yet you have a certain party out there trying to make it easier for this s**t to happen.

In America healthcare is only free for those who have no freedom = the land of the free

*bald eagle noises for some reason*

This is theft

what a nice man and what a f****d up school system

Pro-Life. They deserve to live until you decide otherwise.

This is just messed up

KKKristian, not Christian.

This isn't really just the us, though. This happened in other countries as well.

The legal system in the US is a joke.

In Germany one can get free Insulin. My wife doesn't pay anything.

Everything is wrong with this ... even the font.

Yes

For those who don't know ... Paul Ryan was a Republican politician (Fmr. Speaker of the House) who ran for US President and Charles Koch is one of many billionaires who contribute millions to elect Republican politicians.

How about not take a gun with you in the first place?

Christians in the US sure are bible-thumpers. They use the bible to thump people bloody.

Noice

Pure and simple GREED

Only in America would anyone have thought otherwise

*cough* Vietnam War *cough*

Almost every week, one city tries to outdo another in the 'Utterly Ridiculous' stakes

this is so sad....

An off duty officer got his kids CLASS and others out of the building

The other day, a teenager here in Perth (Western Australia) took his Dads rifle to the school and fired 3 rounds into the building (no one was hurt). Such a rare occasion that it was headline news across the whole country
