[Deep Thinkin'!]

I doubt they'll really change it, but its surprising that they're even thinking about it.

I don't care anymore...I'm 22. If I could vote...I would say no just because I had to wait.

 

[Fran]

I can wait another year, I'm 20. But I'm all for it.

Word!

I've got 10 months left until I don't have to go to Mexico for a beer, the rest of you ****ers should have to wait, too.

 

[Kritish]

Change it to eighteen, if you're old enough to join the military and vote for the next president you're old enough to drink beer.

It shouldn't even be considered. Nothing good can possibly come of it.

HAHA we are b*stards...oh well.

So nineteen-year-old Billy can go to Iraq and get his leg blown off and he can vote for president but he can't drink?

Billy can get prostitutes and beer in Iraq.

I hope they change it to 18 so i don't have to wait another 2 years. Man, will that be fun if they lower itt:

 

[doc ock rules!]

Doesn't really affect me one way or the other. I probably won't drink that much. I just want to know what a "buzz" feels like. Maybe drink a bit with friends from time to time.

The buzz feels good...the drunk feels better

Iraqi prostitutes have sand in their vagina's and I doubt they trim down there.

What's the percentage of kids who are enlisting, though?

I honestly don't think that's the best argument.

I'm opposed to it, out of spite, but in all reality, we have more problems with alchohol in our country because we're so uptight about it. Other nations treat it like less of a taboo, and have less problems with it, I think.

But I think Americans are too set in their ways to change the way it's treated, though.

No, he can't.

That just leads to throwing your guts up and sleeping with strange men.

I think.

 

[Abaddon]

it should've been lower 100 hundred years ago. Not a good idea now.

 

[Drizzle]

Who cares? Everyone under 21 drinks at some point anyway.

America has one of the higher drinking age an consent ages in the western world. We're too up tight for our own good.

I agree, but I don't think lowering the drinking age is going to limit, or change the level of abuse in this country.

 

[AndThePickles]

I completely disagree.

HOWEVER, if that law changes, there should also be stricter laws against drunk driving. That's what makes the whole package work in other countries.

 

[Majik1387]

No, or else 21st birthdays would be pointless.

 

[StrainedEyes]

American's are way way way to stupid to deal with a lower age. All the ****in drunk idiots that exist now, I can only imagine it if highschool seniors started legally drinking.

Billy has all of his life to drink after the age of 21. I'm not concerned about Billy's rights as much as I am increase of innocent lives that will be lost because more teenagers would be drinking if the legal age was 18.

 

[Abaddon]

if anything, it'd increase the level of abuse.

No, he can't.

You just don't know where to look. They pass out those cards with burkha clad women...it is sort of like a box of chocolates...you never know what's underneath that dark coated candy.t: I am sure a business savvy gentleman over in Irag/Iran/Turkmenistan or where ever the hell our guys are has started a ****e house for U.S. troops and is making a fortune.
