OMGAKITTY Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 i would say keep it the same.yes at 18 you can vote and buy smokes' date='but most 18 year olds still act like kids.i mean think about it,nothing would stop them from abusing it or even driving drunk.[/quote'] So we're going to give "kids" the right to decide the next leader of our country. Its idiotic that you can't buy a drink when you can join the army and go kill someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'd like to know why exactly it would only escalate in use if it was made illegal. Because you'll create people like Al Capone. >_> That really depends on the efficiency of the ban. The harder you try' date=' the more people are going to start bootlegging beer. :/[/quote']So if you crack down and make it neigh impossible, more people are going to illegally have beer more than if it was simply banned?

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 There were 11,773 drunk driver-related crash deaths last years, so a decent amount. And for the record, I think stricter moderation of alcohol would also yield positive results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people get all pissy when you say that. Besides, think about how many crash-related deaths there already are anyway...My idea is preventing death while yours is causing it. And OMG, using retarded as an insult is as bad as using gay as one and it's a kind of backwardness that people should just stop doing. I don't see why stupid doesn't suffice and people have to make up synonyms for it related to things that don't matter and/or people can't control.

Dark Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Calling someone retarded or gay doesn't mean you are literally calling someone retarded or gay, nor are you making fun of someone who is retarded or gay.

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I'd assume that a god wouldn't simply respond to baseless whims like that, and that phrase has practically lost its meaning by now and is yet another funk(which used to have meaning beyond…well, funking someone).

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Depends on the religion I guess. You're usually talking about Christianity, so we can go with that. In that religion a sinful theist is worse than a kind atheist. So if you wanted him to damn a teacher for grading you properly, that's just too bad. Also, I'm pretty one of the commandments is not to use his name in vain, so saying god damn you to someone with that sort of intention is a no-no. Hmmmm.
