blim Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Thanks, Makai, took a quick peek at the link and I do recognise a few of the books he wrote!! Just never knew who wrote them. Y'all can still throw peanut shells, though *ducks*Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subliminloutbrk Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Kind of hard to explain. He wrote "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and a lot of other books and articles. Kind of a 60's 70's icon.Very good book, confusing at times but still good. I'll admit I must of read it 3 times just to get all of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

il_wiccan Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 They claim that "Happy Hours" encourage the young ones to drink. Yes this is a university based ecconomy but.......As I always have contended if you are old enough to die for your country at 17 or 18 then you should have all the rights to go along with it. If you don't want people drinking at 18 then they should not be able to go into the military either.......Hahahahahahah.....Sorry a sore spot with me for sure....Let Bush and Chaney take a tour over there and maybe even send all of congress for a 12 month deployment and I bet things would change in a hurry......Wasn't it Sir Winston who said, " Old men start wars and young men have to fight them"? Not discounting the women who are in the service by any means...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I'd just be satisfied with a nice comfortable civil service job that paid well with full benefits and a great retirement package. Say something like Parks Commissioner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Ah, yes! That's where Europe has it right. In many countries (most, probably, but leaving a benefit of a doubt), one can drink at 14 or 16, BUT can't drive until 18. As much as the teenaged drivers are going to holler, I think US should take that policy!!I've always thought the drinking and military thing is totally goofed up, too.And I'm an old Illinois girl, too!!
