-- Age limits are so stupid!!!
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

regardless of what the age restrictions are, there will always be people under that age limit pissed that they are left out. They have to draw the line somewhere. An afterhours club, just isn't the best place for younger people IMO, there's definitely a seedy element at some of these places. The 'holy fuck' moments I've had at parties when I was 21 or 22 (just seeing some seriously fucked up shit)would have been more difficult for me to handle at 17 or 18.

i second that...everyone (well over 95% of the population) waits till legal age to club and go to mature places.

its only fair that everyone goes through 19 years of their life until getting access to everything.

i only used a fake id 2 months before i turned legal. do i regret not going to many parties before that? yea i do. But age determine's maturity and as much as i dont suport age limits, theres a point to it.

Imagine a 13y/o goin to a bar and getting wasted...that wouldnt be a good sight

yes i perfectly know what you mean, in sweden legal drinking age is 18, and it is enforced pretty stric. So i have turned legal drinking age before, so i know the difference between all ages and not all ages... but i have also been in countries where the age limits are not enforced, and i must say that those parties have all been soooooo great. I guess its kinda like in qubeck (have never been partying there so i can only speak of what i have heard), the age limits there arent that much enforced, but still their party life is awesome... and saying that we raise our children wrong hence we must have all these age limits is wrong, i think that age limits create this kind of things, a 17 year old can never drink or party at a club legally till he is 19, hence he will be less mature than someone in a country where he actually can do that legally etc...

i lived close to montreal, so i never had to deal with this, i learned what clubbing was when i turned 16, and i've been to afterhours, different clubs, events, almost every weekend since lol

I agree when you are older you are see things better, in a sense, teenagers dont realzie, sometimes that those age limits are there for a reason, it was frustrating before I turned "legal", but on the other hand as well, I'm glad I waited cause well its not fun with the teenagers there, sorry guys just have to wait

just thank god u dont live in the states where u have to be 21 to drink

I actually think 19+ is fair. That way, it insures that alcohol stays out of our highschools.

Mind you, I was 19 for a semester of highschool, but I was in OAC. Now with grade 12, you won't find too many legal aged people in HS.

Like I know too many kids from highschool that had no direction in their lives whatsoever. Making booze far more readily available to them wouldn't help.

I think legal age should be changed to 18. If a person is treated as an adult by the law, the I think they should be alloud to do whatever they want.
In Russia anyone can do whatever since the age of 13.

yeah, cause the 19+ limit now certainly makes the highschools alcohol free! Never seen a high school student drink!

^^^lol Yeah man, so true.

Oh they drink, but they get nailed for it too. Most of my booze binging highschool friends got nailed by the cops for various things, parties with booze serving to minors, public intoxication, etc. etc.

Highschool drinking does not compare to the drinking parties that happen when most if not everybody's of age.

Ah i know what you mean... i turned legal 4 times!

Once when i was born (in Belgium there is no legal age ), once when i turned 16 living in Kenya, when i turned 19 living in England, and when i turned 21 when i was living in the states!

Yes ppl do get nailed but do they care? NO! Actually they couldnt care less, i know ppl who got a busted, got a fine, paid it and then continued to drink when the cop was gone! People doesnt care if the legal drinking age is 19 or not, they drink anyway! I dont know any country with a high drinking age where there is not underage drinking?

I know! Drinking at clubs and so on is so much better and more well done, but thats part of my point, if all the ppl underage now that have to hide for the cop in some dirty place with more or less free acess to alcohol, if they actually could have a "supervised" place to go to, their drinking habbits would be much more mature!

That said i still think that clubs should be allowed to have different ages, as it is today, jsut that it doesnt have to be so strict and that there should also be clubs for ppl that today are underage.

Originally posted by St_Andrew Seriously, they should be more a recomendation or something, i totally dont get it! Tomorrow i wont be mature enough to go to the Guvernment for an awesome trance party, but in 8 days i would!!! ya that makes sense and when you are 18 you can die defending your country, but not buy a lighter or alcohol or go into a club... when you are 16 you can drive a car and kill others and yourself that way, but not drink alcohol... its stupid and i hate it

Im not lobbying for myself, since I turn 19 in a week anyway, i just think that age limits in general is a pretty stupid idea.

And why is it not gonna happen? Because everyone that is over 19 now (98% of everyone that votes) doesnt want it to happen cause "they waited for their time" and hence everyone else should too?
