I say give the victim a few hours of time to return the favor and then let the serve five easy years (likely in Juvie or minimum security prison). If this happened in the states they would have several felony charges and would certainly be tried as adults.

An argument in favor of lowering the voting age, Tim, (Not that I'm in favor of it.) is that people under 18 aren't allowed to currently because they aren't considered to be fully engaged in society. Fewer rights, but fewer responsibilities. Now, if we are going to extend the full force of the legal system to them, it would seem to be fair to allow them (as an age group) to have some say in how it is constituted, namely, via sufferage. Or something.

It's odd- 16 year olds can gwt married and have kids, die for their country and sell scrap metal but not vote. Although there is a bill going through parliament at the moment about it.

It's also illegal for them to drink at their own bachelor parties. I'm sure there's something wrong there. Although to be fair, it's true over here as well.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Actually; it's perfectly legal for a 16 year old to drink with a meal. So as long as you have food in front of ou, it's ok...

It was a joke, Mahatma, the picture shows a very happy irish bricklayer. It was a very opposing picture if put together with "Old man gets penis slashed".
