Here is what I do say. Underage drinking is illegal. The reason it is illegal is because the people in their collective opinion say it should be.
They have been seen drunk. Yes I do think seeing a teenage girl drunk is not a good thing. Does it mean they are forever condemned? Of course not. That along with their choice in music is disappointing tho.
Of course there are people on this board who just love dope, booze, brutalizing women, and free sex. Of course anyone who thinks that wrong is "judgemental".
"Underage drinking is illegal. The reason it is illegal is because the people in their collective opinion say it should be."
I don't seem to recall a vote on the drinking age. Instead, federal funding for highways was withheld from States who delayed the federally mandated rise in the drinking age. Why is it an 18 year old can serve his country and not come back and have a beer legally? Does "collective opinion" think this is right?
PS - If the drinking age had remained at 18 the twins never would have landed in the papers for doing what the majority of college students do.
The people in their collective wisdom keep abortion legal as well. They don't always get it right. Violating a law does not make one a bad person - how many of us speed on a regular basis? (This isn't "a two wrongs make a right" or "everybody does it" defense - I'm just pointing out the weakness of the point.)

You see, that the thing, most people just don't see it as a big deal. A teenage girl getting drunk will hardly shock anyone - its part of growing up. Maybe not for everyone, but for most. It says nothing about a person's character. I'm happy for them that they enjoyed their and had fun during their college years.
You're disappointed in their music choice? Who would you rather they listen too?

What does drinking have to do with dope (who still calls it that?), brutalizing women and free sex? Those are all independent issues. The fact that you would associate those items proves my previous point.
Yes this board is just so full of those types, and I bet that everyone that doesn't share your opinion or viewpoint on something must be that type.....
