I don't need you to open my eyes about how limited my experience is. I'm well aware that Minecraft is the best example, but you should also remember that kids are not the only one playing it.
And you also don't need to say it was self-explanatory. I have my reasons, and they turned out to be legitimate and good ones. And have you ever been with a crowd where someone tells everyone the rules, and people go out and break them anyways? People that are, in fact, older than children? Because I have. That's why there's a need for warning signs everywhere- because people need to be reminded, just in case.
As an aside; it's something that should really be addressed. My apologies that the legal system in America has a bit more of a firm grounding with this sort of thing than the UK. I'm not saying follow American law, I'm sawing follow national law. If in your country, it doesn't matter, then go right ahead.
Please, do stop. I don't feel like having to defend something which I am right and justified in doing. You didn't have to say anything in the first place. If you want to post a rebuttal, PM it to me and we can continue it there. Alright?
It wasn't an attack on you or your experience. It was a general comment. Yes, in hindsight I acknowledge it was poorly worded, but in my defence it it was five AM. I agree with you; when you make a rule for some reason everyone wants to break it, probably because they don't like the idea of someone else telling them what they can and can't do.
In hindsight, several of your states have varying laws that sit between 16 (Which also happens to be the UK one, and is apparently the most common so it would seem there is less of a distinction than I initially thought.) and 18, and in some states the note I made is still applicable. It's honestly a cultural thing in the English speaking world I think, rather than a single specific legal thing. But hey, at least we aren't encouraging people to abandon contraceptives in an aids epidemic like the catholic church did...
I didn't challenge you to defend anything, mate. What is there to challenge, exactly? I concurred with you that everyone should give a thought to legal ramifications, made a passing comment on how amusing the law can be and, due to having been half asleep, worded a comment that was supposed to be more of a "Lol, humans are all so immature" in a way that sounded like an attack on you, for which I apologise.
