Sorry, this is off topic, but the reason English has an alphabet is because of the Romans. English uses a modified Latin alphabet, which originated from the Greek alphabet, which in turn likely originated from the Phoenician alphabet (A.K.A. the first phonetic alphabet). Therefore, the likely reason English has an alphabet is because of the Phoenicians. Not even remotely because of Moses.
On to the topic at hand, yes, the drinking age should certainly be lowered. It is ridiculous that we allow people to volunteer to go to war for their country, but prohibit them from consuming alcohol.
Keep your d!ck in your pants until you can support the girl and her baby that you are fokking.
His church turned against God. But the fact remains, his impact on European history was monumental
now as to drinking ages-if you are old enough to serve in the military and say fly a machine that can obliterate 6 city blocks in the time it takes to sneeze, you are old enough to have a drink
Has that kind of talk ever worked? There was no way that my fifteen year old self was just going to let the opportunity slip by.
its not supposed to work?
Damm yur dumm.
Prolly yung too.
I would think the whole idea of telling people no is supposed to do something. lol.
no? If your senator made a speech about how you should eat your vegetables, what would you do?
Care to elaborate? Dispute one of my statements? Present a counter-argument? Perhaps spell the words 'you're,' 'dumb,' 'probably,' and 'young' correctly?
Make an effort to eat them wrong while watching the speech.

Slip is a Freudian slip.
You probably went to public schools.
Sure I'll elaborate.
a-priori means something is self evident.
a-posteriori means something needs to be deduced.
It is a-priori obvious that you are so dumm you have no idea where western writing came from.
You are probably a dummazz high school kid.
You are partially correct in that one of us is terribly confused about the origins of western alphabets, however, it isn't me. Here is one source for my statements; I can get more if you like:

Care to link a source supporting your assertion? Perhaps we might also create a new thread to debate this topic, as it is not remotely related to the original post.
P.S. Once again, it is 'dumb' not 'dumm.'
Private and public actually.
You're in high school right ???
And did you boink a lot of girlies in public school ??
I know you did not do it in private school because they would have kicked your azz out.
Moses was a brilliant general and prince. He is a good role model. He is the reason that you and I are writing in alpha-bet not in cuneiform.
So was Mohammed actually one of the greatest generals in history, what does the Qu'ran say about it? Why don't you follow that?
You do realize the point of what I said, right? Do you really think teenagers care about some minimum age law? You act like somehow if you set a minimum age that you will make some kind of difference to things. In reality, teenagers don't care and it doesn't cross their mind even once.
I imagine that would depend on the school.
Is there a point to this line of questioning? Would you care to dispute my arguments, rather than address my identity?
To the bolded:By now, it is no suprise that America's legal drinking age is 21. This was achieved in the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 in an effort to cut down on drunk driving which threatened to cut off 10% of highway funding to states which did not comply. Politicians have always remained silent about the legal drinking age; even bernie sanders who has won the support of many millennials remains silent about it. Now that elections are coming up, it is time to break the silence and here's why it should be lowered to 18.
1. Double standard: you are old enough to participate in the voting process, join the military, smoke tobacco (except in california), and buy a home at 18 but drinking responsibly requires too much maturity?Alcolhol has become a big part of america's culture as seen in the extensive amount of beer commercials on sports channels. Smoking tobacco has become increasingly unpopular. Why do you only have to be 18 to smoke but 21 to drink then?
2. the rest of the world frowns upon this: here are all of the countries' legal drinking ages (pic below). The crimson ones have it set at 21 while the black ones are under prohibition. 14 countries have it a 21, only one of which does not have a muslim majority (take notes islamaphobes)

There are people who defend the legal drinking age saying that it saves lives. My counterargument is that banning cars saves even more lives.
