Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Could someone please tell me WHY on gods green earth that you have to be 21 years of age to adopt an animal from the humane society?

In case we all might have forgotten, I have composed a list of things that one can do when they are 18 years old:

1. Buy cigarettes
2. Be sued
3. File a lawsuit
4. Get married
5. Get divorced
6. ENLIST IN THE MILITARY (we'll go more in depth on that one later)
7. Buy pornography
8. Pawn something
9. Legally change your name
10. Get a tattoo without parental permission
11. VOTE
12. Be on Jerry Springer
13. Buy a lottery ticket
14. Buy spray paint
15. Get a hotel room
16. Get a costco membership
17. Finance a car
18. Purchase insurance
19. Apply for a business license
20. Go skydiving
21. Go to a strip club
22. Work in a strip club
25. Buy a house
26. Sign a lease
27. Write a check
28. Buy nitrous oxide
29. Cash a savings bond
30. Adopt a child (yes, its true)
31. Be convicted as an adult
32. Buy a monkey
33. Rent a porta potty
34. Start a 401K
35. MAKE YOUR OWN FREAKIN' DECISIONS

I'll stop there.


SO. Where I'm going with this.

At the age of 18, I can join the military, buy a house, buy a car, get married and divorced in the same year if I so choose, purchase a monkey AND rent a porta potty, but I can't adopt a kitten.

REALLY!??!?!?!?!;aowielkjpoa;iweklsfd

HOW is this not a joke?!

There is a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION this year. And there will be hundreds of thousands of 18 year olds that will be VOTING for the next person to run this oh so fabulous country.

But...you're telling me that at the ripe old age of 20, I can not adopt a kitten.

Right. Okay. Makes complete sense.

Onto my next point, WHY can someone enlist in the military at the age of 17, just as Aaron did, however, they can not enjoy a beer at the end of their 16 hour work day, or when they get back from deployment?

Age vs. Maturity people. It's a serious issue.

I hate telling people that I'm 20. It automatically puts me into the category of being immature and young and stupid by this society.

Sorry but, I'm quite capable of providing a good home for a friggen kitten. My body allows me to have babies at like 15 years old, but the state of Hawaii tells me I can't adopt a kitten until I'm 21.

Again. Right. Okay. Makes complete sense.
