What are some situations that really make u wonder?
Mine is, how come a person has to be 21 in the U.S. to drink alcohol but is old enough at18 to go and fight in a war?

So true!
How come some states outlaw an*l sex, and if you are caught & judged guilty of an*l sex, you get sent to jail where other guys will rape you and sodomise you! Isn't that like ridiculously self-debilitating?
Today's upside down bizarro world is filled with self-contradictions and things which don't make sense in any way you look at them!
Bizarro world, baby! Bizarro world!
Cheers

They changed the age to enlist in. A grandmother aged 42 enlisted, is fit and has gone off to fight. your Point however is taken well here. Quite generally, the government wants young men and women not fully formed in their ideas, and very fit, to go off to war, they ask less questions......26 at one time was the cut off age......and the age to begin legally drinking is different all over the country. Oh the times they are a changing. I do remember when I could vote but not legally drink..... I changed my I.D. so that i could serve liquor not drink it.......there is always a way......we do not live in a corrupt society...they just bend the rules a bit here and there...i am sometimes surprised, as per age to drive, that the states actually use the same currency....as in the colonies in the beginning of the nations and the states did use different currency.
Well Time is MY currency and I have spent enough here.
Thank You!

I guess the theory is that a person can kill at any age but doesn't have the sensibility to know not to drink and drive until he is older. Maybe they should let under age soldiers drink and plow down the insurgents. I am sure they could get rid of more of the enemy that way.
My question is, "Why do CEO's cause more harm to Americans than a petty thief but go to Club Fed rather than a maximum security prison?"

Mine is... Why don't people understand the difference between 21 and 18 and alcohol and war?

why americans consider themselves in control of so many free countries. the North Korea thing only makes it more evident. Sorry to all the Rebublicans out there, but i heard the speech Bush gave and he didnt know half of what he was talking about, it was prepared

I definitely agree with that question why do you only have to be 18 to go to war but you have to be 21 to drink!??
And what is up with every president that we have?? Well except for Clinton!!!

Your still an idiot at that age. At lest when your 21 you have some of a brain to think about the consequences of drinking.

Thats my biggest one too, but I have never seen a soldier refused admission or service in a bar, I think its an unwritten law we all live by.

Why does the government get to decide how much their own salary is?
I think it should be figured as some sort of percentage of success....like a salesman gets a percentage of his sales....(smile).
