Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
No, I don't talk on the phone much at all.
Most of my (and SJ's) Posts are very helpful, informative Posts in repsonse to questions people answer. There are many people here more "blabby" than we are. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif SJ: I don't claim to be "blabby". That was someone else accusing me of that. |

In Canada, we are adults at 18 years of age. Maybe some "sub-adults" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif of California are not as mature? [ April 13, 2003, 01:35: Message edited by: tbontob ] |
Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
We are legally adults at 18 here as well. Just can't drink till we are 21. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
No Tbontob, adult and drinking age are not the same thing. 18 is the age you are legally an adult. You are old enough to be drafted, but not old enough to have a drink to drown out the misery of such an event. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
that's drink in a public place...
It is legal for you to drink at home with an adult. |

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
The question of drinking age is rather interesting.
In my parents house, we were permitted to have a drink whenever we wanted. The interesting thing was that out of a family of 8 (6 children), no one took advantage of it. I soon learned this was not shared by most of my peers. Whenever I brought friends home and they saw the bar with the 300+ different bottles of liquor openly displayed, their eyes would light up. When I was about 14 years old and not realizing the problems some people have with liquor. I asked if they wanted a drink. It surprised me when all of them literally tossed back the drink, not even bothering to taste it and then looked at me expectantly. Still not realizing the problem, I asked if they wanted another. To which the response was a unanimous "Yes!" Again the drink was tossed back and the expectant look. Only then did I realized my friends had a problem with liquor and stated "Bars closed." IMO, there isn't a age when people are able to handle liquor better than another age. 18 or 21 are arbitrary ages used in an attempt to provide some protection to our youth. |

I had my first "public" drink at the age of 13. I was a big, strapping, muscular guy and looked somewhat older than 13. Our family had taken a trip to Fargo, North Dakota, USA. My parents, older sister and I went to a country bar (with sawdust on the floor), where I had a Hamm's draft. I didn't like beer then, but I did like the experience. Most 13 year olds want to be accepted as grown up and I was no exception. My dad was taking a bit of a risk. But even if he was charged and convicted, he would only have a criminal record in the US. At the time, a criminal record outside of Canada was only minimally pertinent to Canadian authorities in Canada. |
