If one takes into consideration that the world does not only consist of the United States but 194 more countries, then one could perhaps note that in other countries, the legal age to drink is 16 years of age, or 18 is usually the most common.
I really doubt however that in any of those other 194 countries, you can kill people 3-4 years before you can have a beer, unless an Islamic state where alcohol is prohibited.
Another strange thing is, since you brought me back on topic, that apparently in topless strip clubs in that one country, you are only able to go to once you are 21 years of age ( I believe it is in some states of that country, maybe it is all, don't know for sure), because alcohol is served, but the fully nude strip clubs, you can go while 18 years of age, because alcohol is not allowed to be served.
And also, a group of 18 year old guys want to go play some pool, they are not allowed to go into a pool bar, even if they only want to have a glass of milk, because alcohol is served at the pool bar, but then again, you can sit on top of a building somewhere, popping heads with a sniper rifle until there is now tomorrow (or until out of ammo) with 18 years of age.
I am not from Iceland, but some people don't have to look so far away if they are trying to find something that is very weird. |

Congratulations. You took part of the continuing "Iceland is Weird" meme that has been floating around in EVE for the past 10 years and turned it into some sort of diatribe. Friends (in the sense that I love the good Icelandic people of CCP) tease each other; it doesn't mean anything more than that. +++¦ ert h+ílfviti.

True but racism is often hidden in jokes and of course it's all perspective. If one back person yells to another a certain word it can be a greeting but if I were to yell out the same word I probably would get shot.
I just dislike people thinking they're better than others because they feel their culture is superior. It's not just Americans that do this of course. I'm not saying that's the OP's intent but it does come off that way. |
