There's only one problem with that. Yes, we're not looking to just get laid, but (especially in the 18-early 20's range) most other people are. And not just the guys...and before I get flamed for saying that, listen up.
If females in that age group WERE looking for meaningful relationships they wouldn't allow themselves to fall into one short-term transient relationship after another. Its not as if its difficult to recognize the 90% of us guys that are just looking for sex, its terribly obvious. I see this all the time living in a dorm...and it saddens me a great deal.
He's still got the right intentions. Whatever happened to helping others out of the kindness of ones heart?
If you're in a position to help someone and it doesn't cost you anything but a little bit of intellectual effort, why not do it for free?
Yeah, it'd be nice to be paid...but frankly I'd rather know that there's one more slightly less ignorant person out there in the world than have a couple of bucks. And hopefully your favor may be returned at some point in the future.
This just reminds me far too much of something corp wage slaves in SR would be required to do. For those that know what I'm talking about, I'm sure the comparison is shall we say, disturbing.

The only weapon we all have, regardless of circumstance, is our refusal. And a simple 'no' flusters people more than the loudest of protests.

I'm not a law student either, but I do believe your correct here. HOWEVER, how many schools give constitutional rights even to students that are 18 or 19? Not very many I'm willing to bet (and neither of the highschools I attended).

Well, I don't know about where you live. However, here in Oklahoma (trust me, I'd rather be ANYPLACE else) you only have to be 18 to drink. 21 to buy, but since this is all free...
