I'm not talking about old people, I'm basically talking about anyone under 18 or 21 pretty much.
Especially with the drinking age. At 18 you're appearantly old enough to be an adult, live on your own, join the military, but you're too dumb and immature to have a drink?
And at 18 too, what is it about that age that magically makes everyone responsible, smart, and mature?
Sure there are plenty of ppl at that age who are idiots, but there are plenty of people over 18 who are just as dumb..
Shouldn't what you're allowed to do be a case by case situation?
And anyways people will always find ways to break the rules, think of prohibition, why make something illegal that you can't really stop, and the only thing that it really affects, (since younger people can always get drunk, etc. at parties), is the persons social status.
I just think it's an insult to generalize everyone because of their age.
Ok that was my rant(I'm 17 in less than a week)
what do you personally think?
