    College presidents ask for drinking age lowered to 18!

    College is supposed to be a place of higher learning so you would expect the people who run them to be more intelligent. Alchohol is the most dangerous drug in our nation which has killed millions of Americans. So if we are to follow their beliefs pot should SO be legalized. Funny how hypocritcal and unintelligent the people of our country can be.

          Funny how hypocritcal and unintelligent stoners are. Always pointing out other drugs and people using them so they wont feel bad that theyre just another addicted drug abuser themselves.

              Well, I can tell you that I've never seen an arrest of some stoned dude beating his wife. Can you say the same about drunks?

                      Franck are you in timeout for your real nick? lol I think smoking pot would be a good thing for you man. Infact Id LOVE to hang out and smoke pot with you whenever I get a chance to hit the Amsterdam show. Doesn't look like we'll make it for this year though.

                      Seriously why are you so against it?

                              There are some countries were the legal drinking age is 14. And many of them are far more advanced than the US.

                              I'm just a newbie.

                                          It speaks to responsibility. If we trust an 18 year old with the responsibility to make a choice about who leads this country and all that goes with it, it's ridiculous to deny them the choice to have a drink because we don't feel they're responsible enough to handle it.

                                              Good idea. Turn their brains to mush so they can make intelligent decisions when voting.

                                                  It's called "being realistic" about life versus living a "pie in the sky lie" about life.

                                                  Young people are getting drunk and our stupid rules are not stopping them.

                                                  Real life :

                                                  under 21 means get 20 dollars, give to bum to bring back six pack and say "keep the change".

                                                  That plan will never be defeated.


                                                  More real life :

                                                  If you catch your 17 year old drinking you can bring the hammer down.
                                                  And it's your house and they can't legally leave. You can have the cops bring them
                                                  back home and inforce your rules.

                                                  If you catch your 18 year old drinking then you can't do any of the above because they
                                                  are a legal adult. So the law has removed your parental power at age 18 yet the law
                                                  expects you to still have control over the adult drinking in your home.

                                                  You either call the cops on your 18 yr old to have them charged with drinking in your
                                                  home or risk getting charged yourself with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
                                                  So your 18 yr old is a legal adult, but if they drink and you go to court over it
                                                  then the magic wand is waved and they are now a minor when it comes to filing charges against you. That my friend is also hypocrisy!

                                                  ...

                                                  So with all the complications above, not a single idiot stopped drinking.
                                                  Some view this situation as nothing but a charade and wonder why we
                                                  are wasting tax money to fake like we are successful at enforcing it.

                                                          The rest of us need a drink after seeing what you voted for.

                                                              I think they should lower the drinking age to 18, but raise the driving age to 21.

                                                                      I was 18 and in college.
                                                                      I could vote for the first time.
                                                                      I could drink legally.
                                                                      I also worked three jobs.
                                                                      I started to move ahead in my chosen profession (no, not THIS one lol) and eventually approached the peak of my profession - as did the majority of people I knew, who also could legally drink at 18.

                                                                      Among the people who were either in my college circle or my work circle --- were two people who became two of the most respected and well-known political writers/commentators in America (one liberal, one conservative) and two who became among the most well-known/prolific TV writer/producers in America --- not to mention people who became some of the most successful doctors, lawyers, academics, journalists and business people in the country.

                                                                      Some smoked pot, some didn't.

                                                                      But I really don't think that the fact that they could drink at 18 really made much of a difference.

                                                                      Any of you who are old enough to remember what the majority of "kids" were like in the 60s and 70s - and know what the majority of "kids" are like now --- will understand.

                                                                      Any of you who are potheads in your teens and 20s --- probably never will.

Infact Id LOVE to hang out and smoke pot with you whenever I get a chance to hit the Amsterdam show. Doesn't look like we'll make it for this year though.

I dont give a shit who smokes weed and who doesnt. Im just tired of idiots like thread starter who think weed is a fucking miracle plant that cures the world.

                                                                                                              Compare this to the states where teenagers drive to house parties, drink and then drive back so that their parents wouldn't know that they have been drinking.
