i think it's the idea tho, that the kid would be my own....making? if that makes sense. i'm really curious as to what my kids are going to look like. if they'd take after me, or her, more.

having kids kinda sounds neat too because you get to teach them to hate/like the same things you do! j/k lol

The one-two shut-the-hell-up. This is priceless when you're shopping and your kid won't shut the hell up: "I'm hungry, I want toys, I need my Insulin..." etc. First smack your kid (the 5 across the eyes technique works). Wait a few seconds for your kid to start crying, then smack your kid again to let him know that you mean business. This usually shuts them up because they see that the amount of crying is proportional to the amount of beatings.

that's fucking hysterical

haha

The 2 x 4 / PVC pipe. If you do your job as a parent, this should never have to be administered. This is for heavy duty jobs only (ie. any time your kid comes home and begins a sentence with "she might be pregnant..." or "I can _____ if I want to..." where the blank can be any of the following: smoke, have sex, experiment with drugs, watch Oprah, etc). Usually the threat of this beating is enough to keep your kid from screwing up

Ya believe it or not, turning 16 is better than turning 18. I don't get why people get so hoped up about 18, when it really...isn't anything special at all It's actually shit. p.s: happy birthday, enjoy being not 18+ while you can

Pft, 18 is the only birthday I've looked forward to since I was 10 or so (and probably the last one I'll actually ever look forward to). So much stuff you can't do underage (fake ID's aside).

I can't imagine myself having kids before 30, not sure what you guys are on about :| Stable job + stable relationship + getting sick of going out and having fun = maybe then kids. I'm not going to sacrifice my youth, fun and free time for a bunch of dirty, whining, screaming little kids.

Theres no event about turning 16. Turning 18 was way better.

Yeah, I can't even remember my 16th birthday.

I was way too drunk for that

In most parts of the States, you are allowed to drive at 16.

So the kids see it as the only important birthday other than 21.



MrS

Eh, 16 yrs aint nothing special... yeah I got my license then and it was the birthday where I had gotten the most money but eh...

Looking forward to this November (18 yrs old) and then finally the muthafuckin TWENTY-ONE!

Originally posted by tubularbills i was happy to turn 18. i dunno why, i just was. i was even happier to turn 21. i'm fucking pissed that i'm turning 25 in less than 6 months

18 was an awesome birthday

21 was a very good birthday

20 fucking sucked. Worst birthday ever. You don't get to do anything new, but people look at you a lot more as an adult in terms of responsibility and whatnot.

18 was a great birthday ( our legal age in QC )
20 was incredible, never had a birthday as fun as my 20th
As for my 21st, well that was sketchy to the power of 10.

theres a grass roots movement going around with college professors that are talking about changing that. putting the drinking age back at 18. its been proven many times over that the higher drinking age has had no effect on drunk driving related accidents.

That is one of the stupidest ideas ever.

even though my initial reaction was one of agreement, I have to wonder what the effect would be on, say, smoking and drug use. It's not going to have any effect on college kids, but it would on high school. I wouldn't put it out of the question to say that lowering the drinking age to 18 would reduce smoking and drug use, oddly enough.

There are a lot more cultural reasons for 'underage' smoking, alcohol, and drug use than the "legal" age at which people can do them.

I was in high school when they began the carding/enforcement of the 18 to buy cigarette laws and I can tell you that more people smoked when it was easier to get them than after. The reasons for any decline in smoking in this country will have a lot more to do with better education as to the health effects than anything else. I remember when it was hard to find a Non-smoking section in a restaurant, nowdays it is hard to find the opposite (regardless of laws).

Too many of the proponents of this or that lowering of age restrictions use data from other countries (i.e. Germany with the lowering the drinking age thing) out of context to help prove their position. You cannot compare places with a different cultural outlook on both driving and drinking and take part of the comparison out that fits their argument.

When I got my license well over a decade ago, there were still states that had a .12 legal limit for DUI conviction, now the limit is 33% lower in almost every state, including those that had the .12 levels then. I would also be willing to bet that the years that these "professors" took their alcohol related crash data from was from a time when the dangers of driving while intoxicated were less understood and breathalizers were not even common in all police stations. I went to a police station in the early 80s on a school trip that was showing us their new breathlizer, which was the first one this station had ever had.

I'm not saying that lowering all the ages would drop the other rates. Rather, I'm curious as to whether having them all legalized at the same age would have a separate effect. In other words, if kids got the right to buy alcohol and cigarettes at the same age, would as many of them start smoking? Is part of the cause for teenage smoking that it's simply filling a void for substance use until others are available, or is it actually attractive in and of itself?
