Yeah, it doesn't fit with everyone. And I don't mean to insult anyone here on the forums that are below the age of 21.

If anybody under the age wants to drink, they can and will get it. I say lower the drinking age. If you can go to war, you can drink. If you F up, you pay the crime. I've seen enough bad happen to know not to drink and drive..

oooh, example of underage kids partying.
Tonight there is a party featuring a fair number (70+) of underage (I'd guess the majority are underage). Cops drove by and MUST have known something was going on (you can't hide that many cars and the noise). But they let it slide. Irks me that we got busted saturday, but that's my thing.
And eventhough cops have driven by, people continue to party now. I went to a rugby party at a house one time and we were F'ING loud in the backyard. Police came and asked everyone to leave, not citations OR questions. We returned like 10 minutes later and began to drink again. Police returned and we left. But still no citations.
My buddy's friend ended up going back AGAIN and then they just partied the rest of the night, no problems with the law at all.
I think that's how it should be. Parties should be kept quiet but I don't think they should be busted up. Kids are going to do it no matter what, might as well make it legal.
It's gonna happen no matter what.

Even when I'm 90 my mom would still think I'm to young to go to war, because I'll always be her baby.
So lets make it a rule, that no man or woman with a mother should not be allowed to enlist in the military, ever.

Lowering teh age wont change those statistics at all.
