Why is it that you can fight for the country and die at 18 years of age but when it comes to drinking you have to wait until you are 21? Fort Bliss, TX which was one of the only army bases left ruled that you cannot drink if you are under 21. They will not even allow passes over the Mexican border to Ciudad Juarez since it is 18 to drink in Mexico.
It makes no sense to me that most of the liquor laws across the country are so strict. Soldiers should damn well be able to drink if they are allowed to go fight for our country and die for our country. If they are not “developed” enough to make decisions such as drinking then they should not be carrying around guns in other countries. The mentality for the 21 drinking age is wrong and should be changed to 18 if we are going to allow 18 yr olds to fight in wars.
One of the reasons the Texas Army base made the drinking age 21 was because we are not in peacetime anymore. This is all the more reason they should be able to enjoy an alcoholic beverage.
Reward them with a well-deserved beer instead of taking away their privileges they should enjoy!

Iraq War making us pay $4.00 at the pump
Iraq War draining our social security funds
Iraq War making us pay double/triple for groceries from a few years ago
Iraq War draining funds we could have used for disasters
Iraq War putting U.S. trillions of dollars in debt, borrowing money from China and middle East buying up our country
Iraq War maiming thousands of men and women troops
Iraq War diminishing the military capabilities, making us un-safe
Iraq War KILLING our men and women….
Iraq War sucking the life from us
How dare that pasty faced McCain to suggest the dems want to Surrender.
It makes me sick to know there are still some people who support this ridiculous blunder of a war and still think it is honorable to be killed to support Bush/Chaney’s egos.

I remember when it was so uncool to not wear a seatbelt as a teenager. I was sitting in a parked car in front of the grocery store with my seatbelt on with the car running waiting on my Dad to run inside and some kids walked by laughing at me hysterically because I had a seatbelt on. Wearing seat belts is no laughing matter.
Not only will you get a ticket now for not wearing a seat belt but you will be risking your life for no need. It really is hard to put one on soemtimes to goto the grocery store or some place nearby just because we are forgetful sometimes. What happened to those sports cars that had those automatic seat belts. I just loved those cars where you did not have to remember the top part but had to belt up the lap belt.
People can laugh at me all they want but wearing a seat belt is something I feel should be stressed more in highschool and middle school. Some statistics came out this week stating that nearly 18% of younger drivers are still not wearing this protection in the car. Belt use only increased 1% from 2006 to 2007 - they must be marketing this wrong.
What is even more saddening is that 68% of young drivers killed at nighttime are not wearing seat belts. Something that can easily be prevented. And please let’s all start wearing seat belts before they start passing more laws making more noises go off. Buckle up!

While conservative big mouths are bragging about the fact that MSNBC thought there were penguins on the north pole we have a MSNBC prison channel story for you…
These last few years we have seen Republicans in bathrooms, a blind govenor admitting to affairs in cheap hotels, cheerleaders going wild, and now we have a happy Santa. I guess when you sit in Santa’s lap you may want to think twice of what is going on in his pants. Ok, enough with the humor but this is kind of an oddball news story.
The newspaper story headline reads ‘Best Santa ever’ arrested in N.J. on Child Sex Charges. I guess the war on Christmas has went to new highs now they are sending out Secret Santa’s or Private Santa’s as we shall call him.
He was found in dozen of raw child porn images (possibly from Thailand videos). Wayne Nelson Corliss is the former Santa - I doubt he will get that gig anytime soon they may do a background check next time. Federal Authorities claim he was producing child pornography and admitted to having sex with three 6-10 year old boys.
People who know Corliss are shocked and cannot understand how he could act one way in Thailand and another way in the U.S. This just will really make Christmas more like Halloween when you are sitting through those photo shoots with Santa this year being paranoid about who is touching you or your kids.
Clowns always freaked me out anyway. Not that I don’t like them but they scare me kind of like that Chuckey movie. I am just really freaked out because this guy really looks like Santa in this pic.
