Good for you

J/K, I know its not fair, but IMO, when there's a law that states its illegal for underage people to drink alcohol, that makes you wanna drink, just to break that stupid law.

I never liked alcohol, and I havent drunk any alcoholic beverage in years, but just the thought of it being illegal, would definitely make me wanna drink a little (at least thats how I used to think of it when I was younger). Of course that stupid law doesnt exist in Greece, so its all hypothetical.

I was trying to say that maybe Veers just decided to copy your Chatroom idea

I did not know that.

Same here. In fact only recently have stores started asking for Ids inorder to buy alcohol.

Except, of course, that that is technically the purpose of government. To 'force' all people to obey a common law that is beneficial to all involved.

So I think your premise of 'America has too many laws', is probably a correct one. Your possible solution, however, is quite unworkable.

I think in the US is actually illegal to drink if you're underage, with, or without the approval of your parents. Not sure about it though

Anyway, in Greece, a 12 year old kid can go to a bar or a club, and drink strong alcohol. No place that sells alcohol will refuse to give a teenager an alcoholic beverage (Or they can refuse to give them alcohol, but they wont survive very long if they do).

And of course nobody is gonna give alcohol to a small child, thats ridiculous (but still not illegal though. No law exists for that). The only law we have here about consumption of alcohol, is the usual "dont drink and drive" sort of thing (you know, I dont need to explain more about that).

And that is the best way for young girls to get violated, and then wake up in the morning not knowing a thing. Go go rapists and pedophiles - /sarcasm

Here's the thing: If a teenager wants to drink alcohol, they WILL do so, being illegal or not.

They only thing they manage with that sort of law, is saying: "Hey all of you teens, drinking alcohol is illegal at your age, so getting drunk is totally crazy!"

And because most teens at the age of 16-17 usually wanna do crazy stuff, because "its fun", getting drunk suddenly becomes all the more tempting and exciting for them.

True.

You dont like Whiskey?

J/K

But seriously now, for me all alcoholic beverages suck, except for Gordon's Space - that thing which is like a beer, but tastes more like lemonade, and I like lemonade - (dont really know how its called though. It might be considered a beer, I dunno).

Vodka sucks, just as everything else. But there are a few times, where I've actually found certain wines to be really good. Sometimes the wine's flavor is so good, that sort of overlaps the alcohol, also leaving you a sweet grappy taste

Just gotta know which wine to purchase, there are a lot of differences between one brand to another. Hmm, I think I could drink good quality red wine, if offered to me by a friend or relative. But anything else with alcohol? Nah

Lastly, there are 0 alcohol wines, that taste really good. But I know what you're gonna say: "Grape juice". No I dont mean grape juice, but actual wine with 0% alcohol, being exactly like regular wine, but excluding the strong taste of alcohol. I have to say I quite like that, although its kinda hard to find.

It doesnt matter, cause Coca-Cola >>>>>>>>>>all drinks

But yeah, thats a good point there Whiskey. Best way to consume alcohol it is

Thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

1. It is controversial, as "forcing your will" doesnt quite say much, does it? People might interpret it in different ways. Thats because language is subject to interpretation. And that is why we have MANY different and more specific laws. To cover (but not really effectively) this weakness. That prevents most people to bend these laws, so in most cases they can only break them /Lesson for 8 year old kids over

2. I already see one million ways for a half-decent lawyer to totally destroy and step on that law while at court. Do I really need to explain?

3. One person claims that what they did was not forcing their will on anyone, while another might claim that what happened was against their will. One says it was consensual, another says it wasnt. Who is right? To determine that, you need more specific parts of that law. And that is how you create more and more laws. Otherwise, whoever is smarter is right, the other one goes to jail. Fair? I dont think so.

"You do something to force your will on another person, you're out." = Immediate chaos and anarchy.

Now Twilight, can we go back to the real world, and stop reading fairy tales please? Thank you

Now I just need to find a case in which this actually applies... Hmm...

That pic is awesome.

I feel as thought I've been replaced by this CmdNilles character... anyone seen Twilight_Storm?

Anyway, sorry for my absence, I won't bore you with the atypical-emo-details.

Now for something interesting though;

Ancient Man (I'm talking circa 2000 BC or whenever the Pyramids of Giza were built) is/was more intelligent and capable than Modern Man is today.

Discuss!

Xer0 \^/

Ancient man had to do alot more to survive than current. In ancient times man worked hard inorder to create and preserve some form of standard of living. More people generally had to be creative, becuase if you couldn't fend for your self no one was gonna fend for you. There were no charities other than perhaps the church, so if you wanted to make it you tried and worked hard.

After the Industrial revo things got easier, becuase suddenly everyone had a product they could now sell, labour. While you might have to work hard, your no longer required the bulk of society to think very hard or be very creative. You didn't have find a way a to grow more crops, or create something worth selling. All you had to do was come to work do X go home. Come to work do X go home. Come to work do X go home.

Come to work do X go home.

Come to work do X go home.

Come to work do X go home.

Come to work do X go home.

Intelligent? Nope. Ancient Man had no idea what nuclear fission is, or general relativity, or quantum mechanics.

Note that Quantum Mechanics came into existence in the 1920s, IIRC.

Capable? Maybe. I'd probably say that Ancient Man was possibly more ingenious than Modern Man, but that's because 'he' built some pretty big buildings that are still around, and are quite structurally sound.

What I think? I think Ancient Man and Modern Man are fairly similar; they have access to different technology levels, which makes them capable of different things.

It also makes them strive for different things; Da Vinci designed a few 'flying machines', but I doubt he thought they were going to be physically possible (at least no in his lifetime). Whereas today, transcontinental travel is nothing new.

That it does, young one. That it does.

How did it scare you?

 It was awesome and much better than the current crap that is called TV  that is on nowadays

I have not replaced anybody

Oh and that is true I can't believe some of the idiots in the world right now ( like my classmates)

I like Godzilla but I do not think its right to say one is better. Because i may enjoy Godzilla but someone else may hate it.(sometimes for the same reasons)
