  14. Wow I haven't read so much bullshit in my life. I can not believe that you honestly believe that children, we're talking 0-13 here since Adolescence starts after that...roughly, are capable of making their own uneducated decisions based on personal convictions that they have know knowledge of. The first thing I'd like to say is a rather simple concept: Evolution. Read about it, learn it, and remember it. Because clearly, you don't know it. The second thing is to analyze what you are saying. ****Legalizing Currently Prohibited Substances**** Ok fine, legalize it. Then you'll have people abusing the substance even more so than we do now. Sure in some places in the world as long as you can see over a bar you can drink. Fine, this raises alcohol tolerance and could teach responsibility in drinking habits. I'll agree on this....but to a certain point. You still need to set some kind of limit on the age, you wouldn't want your child (0-10 we'll say...still really young by my standards...I'd go with 13 minimum) getting absolutely sloshed and possibly giving him/herself alcohol poisoning and possibly dying...would you? They still need to learn what is a safe limit consume of any drug, including prescription. This information isn't genetically passed down so it must be taught, typically from parents or other authority figures. ****Driving**** Again as above, some people (including children here) can drive fairly early. I was driving a tractor myself at an early age, around 13 I believe. The testing idea is a good thing, but people only drive that way for testing purposes at any rate. But they MUST past the test! Which would have to include a strength test, height test, vision, hearing, knowledge and practice. Like I said about the substance usage this information is typically learned from other older people, typically people with the most experience...aka adults. ****Voting**** For voting...I don't vote, I could care less who's in the damned political parties and all that crap. When I hear of one I actually like, I might vote, but until then I don't think I'll like anyone even after I vote them in so I don't vote. If a child can understand the promises that a politician makes, or the economic ramifications of their vote then by all means vote. Until they learn about these things they can't vote, again another "test" would have to be devised for this as well. Again the best way to learn this information is from other people who have more experience and knowledge of these kind of things. ****Emancipation/Separation from Parents**** Wow...can't believe you went here. Well what can I say, you want them to live on their own. Fine. But they better be able to be able to support themselves with out the governments help, we need that money to go to more important things than Billy wanting to live on his own because he can't be bothered respect a couple simple rules like curfew or cleaning up his room. I mean seriously, you think that some child is going to be able to support and learn the required skills to survive? Maybe some can, but not the majority of them. Spanking, from what I understand, is already not allowed and the children can bring it up to authorities if they so wish. This is considered abuse now a days. To live on your own you must learn how to budget, earn money, and how to get and keep a job. This is starting to become a moot point in saying this but; Knowledge would have to be passed down, taught if you will, from someone with more experience...again ****Equal Pay Rates/School Drop Out**** Alright, I remember my first job and getting paid below minimum wage. Sure it sucked, and I didn't like it but this job was to gain experience in the work force so that I could get money to go to College and to get a career job that I have now and am paid enough to live on my own with. I owe this to my parents and the teachers that taught me what I know today. Sure I learned stuff along the way through my own experiences...but C'est la vie. As for the school drop out age, I think it's low enough as it is. Would you want your child dropping out from elementary school because they would rather go and play than learn anything about the real world in which they will be so harshly thrown into once they drop out and join us Adults in the real world? Hmmm? I think not. Some will be able to do it, but there's exceptions to EVERY rule. Sounds like someone had a bad experience in school and now holds much disdain for the system. I could personally walk out of class whenever I needed to go to the washroom with out any troubles, and show up late for classes as well. Schooling is not just to get the children off the streets and out of the house for 6hrs on a weekday, it's to teach them basic knowledge of a broad range of topics. To immerse you in the topics of the world, from math to physical education to economics and politics. This sounds like it may take care of a lot of that learning from more experienced people I mentioned above...imagine that now. As for forgetting to be a minor? I personally haven't. I'm 22 now. I have a fantastic job in my field of study, full benefits and a great place to live and a girlfriend who loves me. As a minor, I went through the hells of High School and the bullshit behavioral adjustments that everyone goes through. Oh this also included a few moves and my parents splitting up abruptly in Grade 10. My parents personally gave me the final decision on moving to Ontario, if I didn't say yes we wouldn't have moved. This was a good decision, and an educated one as my parents taught me about why they wanted to move and made sure that I fully understood (to the full extent of that word) why moving was a good thing. They also taught me the things I would be giving up in my home province of Nova Scotia. I weighed all of this at the age of 12, I was still a child then. I shouldn't have had that kind of responsibility, and I wouldn't expect my child to have that decision either. Can you imagine if this turned out for the worst? I'd have no one to blame but myself. Define your terms. People refers to a plural of humans and people of any age still belong to the species of humans. Not sure what your trying to get at. Again I must emphasize the simple fact of Evolution. This is the natural order of things, this is how the human species and civilization has evolved. Now it is really late and I've written a lot...and I haven't a clue if this makes sense in the least. I'm willing to continue debating this...but later. Cheers, J PS And as always this is not directed as a personal attack.
  15. I can apparently get up (eyes open), put on my glasses, pants, then walk up a set of stairs, into a Garage, turn on the lights along the way, then turn off the sprinkler that was running, walk all the way back down the set of stairs, get undressed, put my glasses back where they were, carry a conversation about the sprinkler. Wake up the next day and not have a clue that I did all of that until my girlfriend tells me that I did.
  16. Who said that the other pictures are representations of someone that is real? Everything needs an example to build on.
  17. For the better indeed, I just started playing Gunbound a bit at work...not very good at it but Worms Armageddon was the shit
  18. I was about to say that very thing
  19. Scorched Earth was the best, I've tried many times to emulate it on the newer operating sytems but it was always just too fast and not as much fun as the slow death of a death head blowing up the land to get to you. sigh
  20. But she could be...could be just a digital creation of a model
  21. I figured on self annihilation
  22. I don't care about celebrity lives and i think people that do should focus more on their ownlives
  23. Congrats? Shwarma from Mr. Pie and BBQ...I think this household keeps that place in business
  24. Creepy mental image. Spot on with the crepes...could go for some of those actually 30" TV eh? Goodluck
  25. Note to Colin...just blow up the house...let me know first
