I've heard that about Portugal. A close girlfriend of mine used to date a guy whose parents immigrated from there, and while they were very strict about what he was allowed to do here in America, whenever they went to Portugal on vacation to visit relatives, he was allowed to stay out all night doing anything he darn well pleased. And this was when he was like 15 or 16 years old!! So that must tell you something about the laws over there being a little bit more liberal than over here in America.
I think this kid's parents were terrified that if he got in trouble here, he would be locked up for life, but once they got back to their homeland, they didn't give a rat's tail what he did.
He related stories about coming in at sunrise whacked out of his gord (probably off of some sort of stimulant, I never did ask him what he did while he was there, to be honest, but he was a massive speed taker here), and they never said a word to him about it.
If he did the same thing here, he would have had the snot beat out of him and been on punishment for months. I'm going back at least 13 to 14 years, on this of course, because that's how long ago we were all around 15 or 16 years old, but I'm sure you all get the point.
