Get off my lawn!
pilsner:
I know folks in their mid to late 20s who like gardening. Or at least the idea of gardening (gardening in the city can be challenging ... though not impossible). Also, I've lost track of how many women I know in their late 20s, professionals, who are knitting or chrocheting. I can't wait for pipe smoking to come back. Also: capes.

Yes, it seems odd that you can legally be a parent to a four year old (I'm not sure what the age of consent is in places with a 21 drinking age, so I'm going with the UK's 16) but not drink a beer. But then again, I know many many 18, 19, 20 year olds who I wouldn't trust sober. Adding alcohol into the mix seems like a bad idea. You can't make laws to suit a minority who will follow them, they're designed to punish the ones who don't. So they have to go with the lowest common denominator.

I know plenty of people in their twenties and thirties I wouldn't trust sober. If you want to go with the lowest common denominator you'd have to ban alcohol outright. As well as driving, contact sports and anything else potentially harmful. Not really a very good idea. Once you're an adult you have to take responsibility for your own choices, and the law should not prevent you from doing anything that might be bad for you.

I've got a better idea:

I'm waiting for Snuff to come back.

We might not be talking about the same sort of pipe. Also, I thought you were off inhalants.

Is it possible to set a word filter for just a single thread? I suggest replacing any instance of "alcohol" in this thread with "Hitler worship."
