rictus58 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 On the topic of alcohol, they really should lower the legal drinking age to 18. I find it incredibly stupid that a person of 18 years of age can do the following: 1. Join the military or be drafted (if they were ever to reinstate the draft), protect/defend and potentially die for our country/freedom 2. Legally purchase cigarettes and smoke them 3. Legally purchase pornography 4. Legally go to a strip club 5. Legally be an adult and no longer the responsibility of their parents 6. Of age to register to vote and elect local, state and government officials But can't buy a mother ****ing beer to drink. Maryland is looking into lowering it for Active service members. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/lower-drinking-age-proposed-for-service-members/2015/02/27/e0ebe68e-be5f-11e4-9dfb-03366e719af8_story.html Of course, they won't actually do it....they'll lose federal $$$.

The Evil Genius Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 My mom used to make tenderloin and eggs for breakfast when I was a kid. Loved it. But it was pork tenderloin, not beef. I don't think I could eat a ribeye for breakfast, unless I had to. I've eaten filipino breakfasts on almost weekend for the past 15 years now. Filipino tapa (the stuff on the bottom right of this pic) is the bomb. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapa_%28Filipino_cuisine%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliz Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I saw something today I'm pretty sure I have never seen in my 37+ years on this Earth. As I was walking toward my building, there's a woman a few feet in front of me. She gets close to the revolving door. Stops. Looks at it for a second. Then decides to go through it by pushing the door clockwise. what the hell? It has handles on it, that might clue a person into figuring out which direction to push the door, if they're confused about the standard usage of revolving doors. she apparently thought the purpose of those is to keep the door behind you from hitting you in the ass and the door is sorta scraping and shuddering the whole way, since it's not designed to turn in that direction.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I read recently that there was a proposition about lowering the drinking age to 18 for military personnel which I support wholeheartedly. If you're old enough to serve our country, you're old enough to be served a cold beer. I thought you were asking if they were lowering it based on a friends FB post.......which is an entirely different thing. One thing I thought of though, there are still some peeps that are age 18 in their final year of high school. That would not be good. Maybe lower to it to 19 would be better, 18 for anyone out of school and in the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buncha savages in this town... that kinda drives home the point of just HOW MUCH knowledge is required to get by in a modern world... we don;t even think about all the little things we know..we just know it. SO just like we would be DOOMED if we had to scrap by a life with the bushmen, living off the land (and it is obvious to us that we'd be screwed, unless we got some help from the locals)... they'd be just as screwed trying to survive in Washington DC, and would be creamed by a cement truck within a week, unless they got some help from the locals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what I was talking about though, that could be easily solved by the fact that there would be a military ID involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I read recently that there was a proposition about lowering the drinking age to 18 for military personnel which I support wholeheartedly. If you're old enough to serve our country, you're old enough to be served a cold beer. It was actually just like that back in the early to mid 80's. While the drinking age increased state by state from 18 to 21,(Virginia was interesting because they once raised the beer drinking age to 19 and hard booze to 21),most bases kept it at 18. That changed as the 18-20 year olds would get all twisted and start driving off base. The results of course,were not that great. My last year in back in 86-87 all the bases in Florida went to 21. This,from what I was told then,was due to intense pressure from the state to do so because of what I mentioned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking age was 21 in VA and MD, but 18 in DC... AND in addition, DC never carded anyhow. so... 16 year old suburban kids (who had not much experience driving and not much experience drinking) would drive into DC, get served alcohol, get smash-faced drunk.. and then try to make their way home. once again... i say let kids drink at 16, but not drive until 21. I *think* that would change some of the drinking exploration AWAY from binge drinking with other inexperienced drinkers (in a closet, as fast and as hard as possible --- so that you can build up a buzz that will hold you over wherver you are going once you get drunk) and to slightly healthier drinking habits from actually being forced to learn to handle your booze in social environments with actual adults. BUT.. don;t let them get behind the wheel while they are learning and socializing these drinking skills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I could eat a ribeye for breakfast, unless I had to. You'd be correct. Life in the frontier days was usually pork. Believe it or not, they ate more pork than any other meat, besides wild animals because the chickens were for eggs and the cow was for milk. But they could slaughter the pigs. I imagine they'd eat deer, rabbit, squrrel, etc. for other meats. yeah.. DC was a microcosm of that. Drinking age was 21 in VA and MD, but 18 in DC...

BUT.. don;t let them get behind the wheel while they are learning and socializing these drinking skills! I was grandfathered under the 18 year old drinking age in DC when they went to 21. I remember being back in Maryland from college and going to GTown to drink as a 19-20 year old. But, going to school in Memphis in 86-90, we had our spots where we knew where to buy the alcohol without getting carded. Different time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Oh yeah. Had friends of mine do the D.C. trip on a semi frequent basis. We used to go to a club in Old Town Alexandria that allowed 19 year olds in as well. You got a certain stamp if you were above 21 and another when you 19-20. I'd wash that one off and one of my above 21 friends would get "refresh: of their stamp and then come over and rub the back of their hand on mine and I'd get semi worn 21 and above stamp. Place was usually nuts so they never looked too closely. The Library and 1 other bar in Old Town Fairfax were like that as well. That's how I had my first two shots of Stumble...er...Rumple Minze.

I "borrowed" the drivers license of my grandfather, because i didn't have ANY id to flash.... but my grandfather was born in 1893.
