Like I get if you would say something like "so we're supposed to sit back and do nothing". But what can they really do ?  and do you agree?

I can't believe they stopped slavery because, like, I bet that was a lot of trouble.QUOTE(iGio @ Apr 29 2009, 01:50 AM) I was kinda thinking the same thing when I posted that. But it has truth to it.

Obviously, they could change the laws. Or more specifically, get rid of the idiotic federal mandate for highway funding contingent on drinking age. No, I obviously don't think they should sit back and do nothing? |

^Basically what I was saying was why raise it? people are going to do it anyway. I don't believe they should lower it. But what kind of effect would raising the drinking age have when people will do it no matter what?

Why should I have to break the law to do something I should be old enough to do? It's not just about the drinking; not being able to drink until I'm 21 is inconveniencing my life in many ways that I wouldn't have been inconvenienced if the age were 18. I'd list, but it would turn into a rant, and I have too much work to do and it's already 3 am. Particularly as I've posted in this thread before too. Go back and read. But your argument is incredibly flawed.

If Tama doesn't know, then inferiority to Nicki(did I get it right?) is apparent.

Tama, there's a big difference between Republicans and conservatives... Conservatives haven't sold out to the popularity contest. We have well grounded morals that aren't based upon feelings.
