This has been the subject of talk for some time now. Every state has it's own rules and such but do you think that we should lower or raise the age to drin, smoke, drive or vote. If so please tell us your ideas of why and also WHY it would help everyone and not just you.

Well as for smoking, voting, and drivers license, I'm very content with the current age of all of these. However, I'm not in favor of the drinking age. What strikes me as odd is, you have to have a license to sell alcohol at the age of 18, but you can't consume it until 21? That seems a little off if you ask me. If I'm able to sign up to die for my country, inhale rat poison, and change the future of this country at the age of 18, why can't I have a shot of my Absinthe? It just seems more logical to me.

lower the voting age, increase the drinking age, outlaw smoking and only allow people to drive if they're under serveillance for a year or two after they get their license to make sure they don't drive like aretards

Well since I am against discrimination and smokers are being totally discriminated against, keep that the same. 18. Drinking should be lowered to age 18 as just like the person above(not directly above) said if they can die for their country they should be able to have a freakin beer. I think the driving age should stay the same. Surveillance? vote for Fascism much? sheesh
I did notice however that the question asked about voting. I think that is
fine just where it is.

Here's to sticking a middle finger right in big brothers eye!

well it would be nice if the voting age was lowered to maybe 16ish. i mean once you stat becoming a teenager and aware of the world and you are going to have to put up with the next president for 4 years why not be able to vote at 16? and i think drinking should be 18 that s just silly that it is 21 like the person above pointed out. driving is nice but i think Pennsylvania just changed it made it higher but i think at 16 you should take a permit test and at 17 be able to get your license. me being an underage smoker at 16 think the smoking age should be lowered but then again probably not it is bad and i kno that but too late for me lol
