When you kist a drinking age for Pakistan all I can do is laugh. The 97% Muslim country outlawe liuquor some time ago unless you get a permit from the government which is allowed if you are a foreigner or a Christian.

You are so predictable. Why do you latch on to this peripheral issue? I provided you the list of countries where 21 is the legal drinking age. FYI: I have been to Pakistan about half dozen times and had a drink in the hotel. They don't check to see whether you are Christian or Muslim.

Blather on. Nothing faux about my conservatism you and I just disagree about a specific drinking age. That is all.

You disagree because you personally think that your views should predominate. For me, the legal drinking age is just another example of the federal government forcing the states to cave in to a central diktat. I used the example of NY, which had 18 as the legal age for over 50 years. Personally, I saw no great problem with it nor in the many countries I have lived in over the 25 years of my adult life of living abroad. And you seem to gloss over the many examples of how we treat 18 year olds as adults whether it is in the military, the courts, or the ballot box. There is a profound logical inconsistency that you seem to be missing.

Wrong. I did not even comment on what I think of the government (federal) withholding funds or else. My oinly comments have been about the drinking age being 21. You are so angry you spitting cotton.

I have already said you disagree with the age I prefer. So what? The idea that this SCOTUS decision will be able to be used in the context of drinking age limit is wilkdly out there and will NEVER happen. So go your merry way.

Oh and have a bunch of drinks tomorrow....sounds like you could use them
