What I do not understand is the fact that The US will gladly have you join up in the military at the age of 18 and risk your life but won't let you drink untill you are 21...WTF?
HRHunteRHR said:Your father's case is what happens when you abuse alchohol. Alot of people drink responsibly, although some still abuse alchohol. Those are the one's who should have their rights taken because of the abuse.
But:
Just because someone has a different oppinion doesn't mean you have to resort to verbal abuse. kthx
mike, i agree with you about 90%, except for the weed part.
nik, you're really making me mad because you just don't understand any of our views and opinions. wow, ok you got drunk, you drink all the time. you teach people how to drink. ooohhh ohh my god. quit bragging because none of us care if you drink, smoke weed or however else you ruin your life. i'm 15. i've never gotten drunk, never smoked anything in my life, and i'm fine with it. ooh i'm not "cool" because i havent done any of this. wow. i think that weed should stay illegal, the drinking age should stay at 21. i value my life, and want to go far. i don't want to ruin it by drinking or smoking. ...what the hell is the point of it? can it benefit you in any way?
it's completely stupid. especially for teenagers. sure, yes i can get drunk if i wanted. i wouldnt have to tell my parents. i can smoke weed without my parents finding out. but i dont want to. if you want to smoke, drink and be stupid, go ahead. none of us care.
Personally, anyone who says that lowering the age of alcohol consumption to lower then 21 is obviously an idiot and doesn't know the true affects of alcohol, other then just self-pleasure. If you say that making marijuana legal at ANY age, is completely stupid.
My reasons for this are rather simple. My father is an alcoholic. He drnks nearly every day, he's done it for 17 years, my entire exsistence. I've seen what it can do to people. I know how it alters your thought process, I know how it affects the peopel around you. I've seen how it can sometimes put you in a good mood, but I've seen how more often it puts you in a bad mood. I've seen doors gets holes in them, I've seen a husband hit his wife for no apart reason, I've seen a father hit his son. I've seen it all when it comes to alcohol.
Drugs are just as bad. I've had first hand experience with drugs. I knwo what they can do. I know that they make you feel better, but I know how later on how stupid they make you. They kill your brain cells, they hurt your lung. They make you good for a few hours, then you spend a year recovering. It's not pretty. I've been around people who have been on not just marijuana, but coke, and meth. If you want to experience drugs, and then have the courage to publicly announce that it should be 'legal' and then at the age of 16, I'm sorry, but you are personally an idiot.
Drugs, I don't care what they are, or alcohol, or cigareetes, are the most idiotic thing you can do to yourself, and the peopel around you. If you want to live a miserable life and become addicted to some cheap little product that people make millions if not billions off of, go ahead, try it out, you can become just another statistic in some Doctor's report on the affects of drugs on the body, that and, "How many people died this year from alcohol abuse". Hey, it's YOUR life, if you want to envolve yourself with this sort of thing, go right ahead, just know that what you're doing isn't good for YOURSELF, or the people around you.What I do not understand is the fact that The US will gladly have you join up in the military at the age of 18 and risk your life but won't let you drink untill you are 21...WTF?So is my uncle, we all have a few bad apples in the bucket regradless its a fact of life. Lowering the alochol age wouldn't create any more then we have already and it'd keep kids out of trouble. And maybe me annoucning it publicly would gets some to side with me and then my views get turned into law never know. Also weed is safer then alcohol anyways.
Alcohol is physically and emtinonally addictive. Weed isn't... Its just addictive to emtionally along with every other product such as cig or alcohol but if you go cold turkey on weed you don't get sick or anything.
And I hardly brag I feel poeple WHO want to should learn to drink responability.One bullet is deadly then 15 shots of vodka. America besides japan is the only country to have such a high age limit. Most are around 16 to 18. You know when I tell people about some of our laws they look at me and don't believe me. They think its crazy that'd you have to wait to 21 to legally go and buy a 6 pack for a weekened. Or 18 so you can buy a pack of cigs. It is crazy. Lower the age 16 to buy beer, wine, and cigs, and even weed.
JustinMcG67 said:I made reference to my father in one example, not all of them. I've seen a bunch of people abuse alcohol. Guess what, they all started off, "responsibly". Alcohol is bad, and that's all there is to it.
And no I did not directly say you were an idiot, I simply stated that if you want alcohol and drugs to be legal at the age of SIXTEEN! You're stupid. Why? People who are sixteen can barely even drive, get up on time, or even get to work, yet alone get a job. And you want them to be able to smoke pot and drink? OK, you get your own country, legalize all of it, and let us know how it turns out.
