Topic	Why don't y'all 'muricans lower the drinking age to 18?
Zeus 10/13/18 1:39:53 PM #28:	MICHALECOLE posted... Lower the drinking age, raise the consequences. Young people are terrible when it comes to thinking about consequences, so it's an ineffective strategy. MICHALECOLE posted... Immediately suspend license for minimum one year, regardless of age. Because kids don't drive on suspended licenses? >_> Even adults do that. MICHALECOLE posted... Or raise the minimum draft age to 21. The draft hasn't actually been used in over 30 years. Men register at 18 (because sexism), but nobody has been called. Revelation34 posted... Or just lower it for active military members. Also a better option. peanutt121 posted... I have a better idea. Let's raise the voting, involuntary military service (voluntary can remain 18), and age to get a drivers license all to 21. All three would save thousands of lives and dollars How would raising the age of involuntary service save lives when involuntary service isn't used in the first place and enlistment costs remain the same no matter when you register somebody? >_> Lokarin posted... Well, ya - that's kinda what I'm saying - it's inconstant that they are different. I'd rather they are lowered, so as to match .... EARTH, but ya Why should they be the same? There's no logical justification for it. It might make sense for voting and military service because both are citizenship issues, but health issues are unrelated. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:910461784] in Why don't ...
