Does this mean the end of mafia vendettas? I hope not, those are fun, and you can't go to jail for them (I don't think).

Not to mention traps. Don't drop the soap!

18 is within the period where birthdays equal more priviledges.
I wanted to turn 16 so I could drive.
I wanted to turn 18 so I could vote and see R-rated movies unattended.
I wanted to turn 19 so I could legally drink.
I wanted to turn 21 so I could legally drink in the United States - ie: the "fully enjoy Las Vegas" age.
22 doesn't provide anything. You're just an adult. Still a young adult and likely still healthy and attractive and with many good years left. But you would rather be 21. At 22 you realize for the first time that it would be better to be younger than your current age than older and I found that hard to take.
Being 18 kicks ass so enjoy it. I don't really mind being 26 that much either but you're still at the age where you're looking forward instead of back and that's great.
And if fear of going to jail is a legitimate concern I would suggest that maybe you need to make some changes to your lifestyle.

Since Malon is underage, Malon porn is illegal even if you're 18...

Two years ago, Dwight Whorley [downloaded and sent] Japanese ?anime? cartoons showing graphic acts of child pornography.
Because of a 2003 federal obscenity law, that?s illegal. The law, designed to help protect children from sexual exploitation, makes it a federal crime to produce or distribute obscene drawings, cartoons, paintings, or any other visual representations involving the sexual abuse of children.
On December 1, Whorley?who had spent time in jail on previous federal child pornography charges?became the first person in the U.S. to be convicted under the 2003 law. On Friday (March 10), he was sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $7,400.
(emphasis theirs.)

Hmm, I have some old homework papers I better get rid of. Funny what shows up in the margins of those things.

Quotenot to me, I acquired all my privileges (and disadvantages) when I turned 18...

Nudity is fine so long as there's no sex. You can read the law here.
