Clinton has so far said, always, "me me me me me me me obama me me me me me me MEE" sigh.

Man reading that 2004 Convention thread. Who would have known?

Life experience makes you wiser, not years. I know *plenty* of 24 year olds who are dumber than some 18 year olds. The only reason people are wiser when they're older is because they've learned. Why not start learning earlier. I was asking because I think there's a difference between the two, and one is bad and the other is not, regardless of what your age is.

Frankly thats the bullshit of an older man. Thats like saying a 16 year old new driver isn't as good a driver as a 25 year old new driver. It's experience. I was asking, Black, if you could register the difference between teens (or anyone) drinking beer and abusing alcohol. There is a difference.

But was it wrong to drink as a kid or binge drink, ever?

But Black, I hate to beat a dead horse here, but kids in Europe basically drink their entire post natal lives. The wine is watered down somewhat at first, but by the time they're 16, they can buy a bottle of wine if they want, beer, etc. And their society doesn't collapse. Its an American problem, the binge drinking. And I think that the stigma at least partially causes it.

Perhaps, shades of Cheney and his daughter. PLUS, who's gonna call him on it, the pro-abortion people?

I'm actually a stronger advocate of de-criminalizing pot than I am of lowering the drinking age... Can we go there?

Why not this, America? Seriously. Talk about drill now, drill here...

Is Obama less "change"-y because he has an experienced VP? Really?

Best bits of Season 3? A lot of the first ep, Monarch is great. The ending of Invisible Hand of Fate. Killinger, Killinger, Killinger. Dr. Dugong.

Or tears...

-1 Troll Rating for Marvin

I pray that poll is some kind of outlier. But the ignorance of the American people is frustrating beyond compare.

People fund. pbone I just think we're miscommunicating, I say drop it.

Thoroughly possible. Damn hooligans.

He's trying to make A Point. Probably another nugget of wisdom from Beck.

Marvin you're ridiculous. If you were against the welfare check, you shouldn't have cashed it. If you did cash it, you should use the money...somehow...

So then, pbone, why are you making me out to be some bleeding heart when I'm telling you that without assistance, financial institutions are going down, and dragging all of us down with it?

If drinking were *legal* for any age, I suspect binge drinking would go down dramatically. Being a boorish drunk would no longer be acceptable behaviour for a young person, the way it is in Europe.

pbone you realize this credit problem is going to make it harder for YOU to get credit, regardless of your credit rating, no? Just because you don't have a subprime lease doesn't mean the inflation this is causing won't hurt you...

I'm not talking about suffering. I'm talking about YOUR economy being affected by things like other people going down, Fannie Mae going down, etc.

I would say lowering the drinking age would lower the number of 18-20 year olds drinking, not increase it...

It's amazing that 3.50 is cheap now. People = stupid.

but pbone we don't operate in a vacuum. Obviously these foreclosures are having a negative effect on our economy, to put it lightly. One one hand you want to see those who caused the problem suffer, on the other hand, their suffering can have a negative impact on you.
