Doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't protest unjust laws. Our politicians (read: rulers) will eventually institute this Aussie law here in time. Need to fight them tooth and nail. Hopefully sanity will be reinstated in our country and its politics. Otherwise, without Divine intervention there will be only one recourse left.
Well they did send those people to the other side of the world for a reason.
Same could be said for the good folks of Louisiana.
I wonder if they can buy cold meds without ID.

By law or company policy?
That is easy to answer. In Louisiana a person is not an adult till 21 years old and it makes suing someone for not returning a rented item easier.

Pretty sure it was company policy, Local grocery chain, Piggly Wiggly or Winn Dixie?

People are adult at 17 in Louisiana as far as the law is concerned.
Although this is a very worn out comparison, it truly stands the test of ANY time:
If I a person is old enough to carry a fully automatic weapon and kill another person in the name of defending their country at the behest of someone telling them it's the right thing to do; vice laws that constrain them here by age are just ridiculous!

Are you sure about that I know at one point in my lifetime the states had some rights, and I think that was one of them. Maybe not anymore. The feds use funding to bend a state to their will.
Agreed I tell you this is one of those issues that I believe makes the 15-25 year old crowd so useless. They get treated as adults on one had and children on the other.
Example: an 18 year old goes to a party, has one beer, some one trips and spills a beer all over him, he get pissed off and then drives home. Heres where the story turns tragic.
First Scenario: He gets pulled over and smells like beer. He blows well below the legal limit but because he's a child (under 21) there is no tollerance. Now he has a DUI on his record which can cause truble for him the rest of his life.
Second Scenario: some drunk vagrant walks out in front of him on the interstate and gets killed. Now this kid because he's still under 21 and there is still a no tollerance policy will gets charged with a DUI and most likely manslauter.
In both scenarios he gets treated like an adult without the privilages of being one. Thats wrong. I've known a few folks who experienced simular experiences to both episodes and its wrong. If you want young people to act like children treat them like children consistantly. If you want them to act like adults treat them like adults consistantly.
Oh... And young folks dont drink and drive.

I think the legal drinking age is determined by the states, but in 1984 the Feds passed a law that penalized the states that allowed anyone under 21 to purchase or publicly posses alcohol by removing federal funds for highways. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Feds basically used federal funds to strong arm state laws to their standards.
