    They're poor for a reason. Don't hire them, they suck.

    If you want useful work, hire someone with a history of doing useful work.

    Equal? No. Just childishly wrong.

    Sovereign states are sovereign. That is all. 'Equal in status' is far too broad.

    Because that was exactly like their nations of origin, except they were the odd ones back in the 'old country'.

    At least America didn't have a 'national religion'. Granting a few of the original states did, they had to remove their legal status shortly after independence.

    You'll also note many other countries with loose drinking laws and even worse idiot kids drinking till they puke. England and Scotland come to mind, likely two of America's closest cultural cousins.

    All I'm saying is let the kids get their first 1000 hours drinking done before they start their first 1000 hours driving. Make the ages 14 and 18 if you like.

    Also note: Making the legal age for drinking 21 is counterproductive. They still start drinking about 14-15 and drive shortly after.

    It was never universally 18. Some states were 18, some were 18 for beer, some were 18 for 3.2% beer.

    God damn MADD mothers ended it. Along with redefining 'drunk' to 'having lips that EVER touched alcohol'.

    IMHO the main thing should be separate ages for driving and drinking. Learning how to do both at the same time is just asking for trouble. Let 15 year olds puke like drunken 15 year olds, but make them wait until 21 to drive.

    If true (who would be motivated to tell such an obvious lie?), that reflects their financial stupidity. The majority paid that same amount in cable TV bills in the last year.

    We never had net neutrality.

    It was unimplemented executive order, not even law.

    You don't have to look far to find government idiots that don't know what 'net neutrality' means suggesting internet breaking rules.

    /. recently ran a story on a bunch of congresscritters that were proposing outlawing QoS. Of course they had no clue that was what they were proposing.
