Do you think the drinking age should be 18 again?

[Egapal]

Brady ban, foreign policy, governmental spending, welfare. Should I continue?

Man what do people have against specific sited examples. I will go a head and assume you made an argument that the liberal in me should be for the Brady Bill and the libertarian against. This is not an example of how the two are polar opposites but the Brady Bill is a good example of where my liberal and libertarian sides came to odds. I have to say that in the end my liberal side won out and I decided that I support it. Owning guns is a right and making someone wait 5 days is not denying them that right. In its current form don't have to wait but do have an on the spot background check. As it turns out I do believe that anyone who wanted a gun and needed it in less than 5 days is exactly the person I think should have to wait. Foreign policy, government spending and welfare are about the furthest things from sited examples as you could get so I am going to make this my last post. In closing many people have said that I am not a typical liberal and that one thing I say or do is really conservative. I often come back and say no that's libertarian. These ideals rarely come into conflict for me so I have to whole heartedly disagree with your stance that they are polar opposites. Do we need welfare reform, sure. But I believe its necessary. I think its wrong that we provide more for our prisoners than we do for our citizens. That's a big yes to we should lower the drinking age to 18.

This looks like a pretty off track post but in light of things getting back on and not reading much of what was said after seeing the political stand points of members. I voted no to drinking at 18. I'm not 21 yet and of course being a teen I drink. I also do not drink and drive which is what I think we would see much more of. I feel a high percent of the US population should have their license revoked and a stiff kick in the rump. People on phones, putting on make up, left lane bandits, just jack @--es in general. Giving US teens the privilege of having a 0.08 alcohol percent is just too irresponsible. Some people should be barred from reproducing, legalizing younger alcohol ages would just give more teens an excuse as to why they got pregnant upsetting PTA mothers everywhere.

Well, I don't drink. I'm a teen. Neither do all my friends.
Why? It's illegal, and pointless. We can have a lot more fun without drinking and drugs, and still be the responsible, respectable ones in the end.
I agree with the rest of your post though, just thought I'd comment on that. It bothers me when people say that because it gives adults a reason to believe all teens drink and do drugs, which is false, yet even the innocent ones are suspected most of the time.

Please explain. Liberals and libertarians are total opposites on these issues.
