Happy birthday! Enjoy Selective Service registration, suffrage, and eligibility to be prosecuted for statutory rape, as well as conventional sentences and a permanent record for all crimes. Yeehaw! Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

The only way to prevent crime is to prevent criminals, and there's no better way to stop criminals than eugenics. —Alorael, who is in fact very certain that castrations for all (well, around half, anyway) would result in a huge drop in crime within the next century. Forced sterilizations for all would be even more effective! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Thing about turning 18 is suddenly people in real life start realizing you're as intelligent as you've probably been for the past few years. Now it's not quite as ok to dismiss what you say as "child talk" or whatever.

Interestingly, according to the book Freakonomics, there's been a strong corrolation between an increase in the availability of abortion (read: decrease in unwanted pregnancies coming to term) and a decrease in criminal activity in the last thirty years.

Piracy is up in terms of total number of vessels and pirates, but is it up in percent of goods stolen? I'd venture a no, but I don't really know what percent it was in the Age of Sail or, for that matter, what it is now. —Alorael, who thinks a better correlation would be between the disappearance peg-legged, hook-handed, parrot-bearing pirates and global warming.

I was on a cruise ship once, and the only thing I could think of the entire time was how great it would be to be a pirate looting the crap of the thing. So many fat tourists, so much food and American dollars, so many virgins, and all so defenseless. It really was a pirate's dream come true. -------------------- You lose.

Ugh. You went on a cruise ship? Nalyd is horribly paranoid when it comes to boats. Or planes. Or cars, for that matter. Bicycles, even. Thankfully, Nalyd is the kind of person that says "To hell with it" after worrying for five minutes. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Have fun being able to legally star in and watch porn. I sing the official Russian 'Happy Birthday!' song: Poost begoot neooklyooshl Peshehodee po loosham Ee voda po asfaltoo rekoi Ee neyasno prohosheem V etot dyen nepogoshee pochemoo ya vesyelee takoi Chorus: sing twice Ee ya eegrayoo na garmoshkye Oo prohosh na veedoo K soshaleneeyoo dyen roshdneeya Tolko raz v godoo Translation: So what if pedestrians run clumsily through puddles and water is flowing along the asphalt like a river. It's unclear to the passers-by On this horrible (from the point of view of weather) day Why I am so happy (merry). I am playing the accordion. In front of the passers-by Unfortunately, my birthday Is only once a year.
