Yeah, I know it wasn't really intended at you, sorry if it seemed like that. I was more frustrated and angry with the generation before me and the mess they've handed off to me and my fellow generation. Anyway, thanks, I guess your post hit a chord. ^.^ Everyone needs a chance to blow up every now and then, even if it does sort of go off topic and lean more towards emotions than a generalization of it. Which in this case, is more or less true. :/
Whoot, more on topic, I also think the drinking age should be 18. Spurning the newest generation of "adults" isn't likely to win you any favors with them and if you want to alienate them I guess you can. I mean how do you expect an individual to be a responsible adult if in the same breath you limit them in what they can do based on age (even though they're legally an adult). It's silly, and if people didn't have to find ways to beat the law (which they will, easily at that. I've never been to a high school where teenagers didn't know where or how to get beer, in fact it was never really any great mystery and pretty common place), then people wouldn't make such hoopla over drinking at such an age and binge drinking will dramatically decrease in 18 year olds. Of course, this isn't really anything new that I haven't said before or anything nobody else has pointed out, but I'm back on topic at least.
