Ooh, ooh! I just had one of those recently, I found it at a giant international market, you have to find one. It was a fizzy, 7up kind of beer with a sweet beery aftertaste.

This kind of reminds me of a .calvin and .Hobbes cartoon where .Calvin finds his gpa's cigarettes. He informs his mother that he is going to go have a smoke, and she nonchalantly acknowledges this and tells him where the lighter is. He thinks his mom has turned a new corner into cool, and he sits and lights one up. Of course he gasps, turns red, cant' breathe, etc. His mom comes out and goes "Did we learn a little lesson today"?

Of course .Calvin misses the point and says "Yeah, I can't trust you".
Heh. Laughing


I loved calvin and hobbes XD We've got all the books haha. I remember that one, too!

Yeah, in the case of the lesser of two evils, at least with bush, we knew he was dumb, plodding, and going to simply continue on the same path. kerry, who knew what he would have done?

How did you guys go from drinking to disrespecting our leader Lol.

Anyways, I feel that you should teach kids to respect the law and that means no drinking till you are 21. Of course, if you go around mocking the people that make the laws then I guess you don't really care too much anyways.

We're clearly all dirty dirty liberals Razz I consider myself more of a moderate really, but yes. It's clear almost all of us agree that .Bush is an fool.

on the alcohol issue i'm really torn. here's where the cultural differences that i'm always talking about come into play once again. i grew up being allowed to drink. not throw back beer after beer but a taste of this, a glass of that. watered down wine as a child. spoons of champagne at new years. i don't see the big deal. but at the same time this is the us and it is illegal. I don't want to break the law. As far as serving other children alcohol, it would never happen. geez, what good was that post? i don't really have an opinion after all. Wink

yeah, I was thinking about your kind of experience earlier when referencing the european way of introducing wine with dinner. Did you think that your gradual and nonchalant intro to alcohol contributed to a more relaxed view on drinking? What were your drinking habits as a teen?

.Bush doesn't make laws, musikmaker.

He breaks them. Laughing : Laughing

I am not trying to get you all mad at me or anything, I just feel that he is an elected official and that we shouldn't make rude remarks about him. I am not a fan of .Clinton but when he was president I was never, ever allowed to say anything negative about him. It's a rough job being president, being in the spotlight and all. I know I wouldn't take it for the measly 250k a year that it pays.

It did to a certain extent. I was fine with alcohol up until I went to college. In high school I couldn't be pressured into drinking because it wasn't a big deal to me, plus I had no respect for people who drank to excess. It's considered extremely bad mannered and immature to allow yourself to drink so much that you lose control. College however was a different matter. I was trying terribly hard to fit in because I went from being big fish in a small pond to microscopic fish in the ocean. Then I started drinking to fit in and there began the problems. I don't believe that drinking as a child caused any of those problems though. I think my own personal issues did.
