A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

It is interesting as these cases slide through the courts. Each keeps going a different way.

My personal opinion is we need to decide when people become adults. Can you sign up for the military at 18. In most cases, you can't rent a car till 25. You can't buy a guy in some places until 21. You can't drink until 21.

In some places, you have to be 21 to rent a hotel room.

That is my issue. The law is all over the place.

Personally, I think drinking should be allowed younger. Europe does it, and it isn't an issue. I think parents should be able to give their children alcohol at any age. It teaches them responsible drinking. We let our child drink at 14 when she was with us. We credit that is her never misbehaving with alcohol since it was never taboo.

To preface that, neither of us is a large drinker. I may have 2-3 drinks once a month. Typically we will go to a nice place and have a few drinks or have a few drinks while watching a movie at home.
