Why drinking age should be lowered: Dr. Ruth Engs - 1 views

  •  
    The legal drinking age for the U.S. should be lowered if the situation is being supervised in certain environments. Many drink underage to "rebel" against society norms so lowering the age would not call for such rebellion. Binge drinking would not take place if environment is being supervised.

    The legal drinking age is currently twenty-one. If we were to lower this age limit, the author states " young adults allowed to drink in controlled environments such as restaurants, taverns, pubs and official school and university functions. In these situations responsible drinking could be taught through role modeling and educational programs".

    Should the legal drinking age in the US be lowered to 18? Articulates that young adults should be allowed to drink in a controlled environment.

    I agree and don't think it is any different than teaching young adults how to have safe sex if they choose to have sex. If someone is going to choose to drink at 18, 19, or 20 or 40 for that matter they should be held responsibile for their actions at any age. Why do the laws say purport that a person is an adult at age 18, can drive at age 16, but can't drink until 21? I think it's hypocritical to say someone is an adult at age 18 BUT, you can't drink until your 21.

End Illegal Immigration. Stop Illegal Immigration - 0 views

  •  
    It is time to put and end to illegal immigration. Certain political groups are pushing to grant amnesty to immigrants. In doing so this will weaken our current immigration laws and it will lead to the destruction of our border security and enforcement.
  •  
    Semantically, it's painfully ironic that factions like this exist considering that America was built upon immigrating to a new land with no prior government, and creating a government that claims all men are created equally.

Gun Control Timeline - U.S. Government Info/Resources - 1 views

  •  
    This article shows the timeline of the governments plans for gun control laws over the years
  •  
    I feel like the gun control that is currently in place is good, but we need to help people get trained for better safety if a situation arises!
  •  
    Gun control in my opinion should be regulated, not be taken away from the rights of Americans. Some people can be dangerous with huge amounts of firearms without regulations.
