Hurrah! Time to post up daftness of laws.

In Britain, Pornography is not to be viewed by people under 18. The age of consent is 16. Thus, one could say for the first two years, you have to keep your eyes shut.


NEXT.

It's illegal to purchase tobacco paraphenalia until 18.

You can obtain a hunting lisence(meaning the use of firearms.) at 16.

What do those things have to do with eachother? Also are both of those laws federal? I thought gunlaws were more of a state thing.

In the City of York where i live you can legally shoot a Scotsman inside the ancient city walls.

And of course me and the missus do this regularly.

Both can (if used properly) kill you.

Also, not sure about them both being federal, these are just me going by my states laws.

1st Rule of facebook:

Never friend anybody who lives in the same house with you.

Also, my father does not fight fair, therefore i would not want to fight him.

Example:
My oldest brother had been feeling like he was the hot gak in high school, and disrespected my parents.
Dad waited till he went to bed. SPrayed shaving cream in his hand. Tickled his face.
When my brother awoke he was greeted by these words.
"Next time it'll be your mother's skillet."

In britain, you cannot but cutlery under the age of 18, inculding forks and spoons

I'd argue suicide is as improper a use for a gun as it is for tobacco smoking implements.

No, but taking some naughty photographs of your 16 year old bride would be producing child porn. You can have sex with your wife but not film it.
