Why do you hate YOUR country

[Pidesco]

America:

 

Drinking age is 21. If I'm old enough to fight for my country, I'm old enough to drink damnit! :D

 

 

So you can kill people but you can't drink alcohol??

 

You americans are mad!

[Krookie]

It doesn't really make that much sense when you put it that way.

Same with Hollywood. You can kill and destroy much as you want, but if you have sex in movie, it is immediatly rated R.

 

Back to topic: Finland

 

-Very bad angst. Quoting one of our game reviewers with my bad english: In Finland lives gloomy people, who laughes when neighbor cuts his kneecap with axe. Typical finnish man angsts whole week and at weekend he is drunk, lonely and sad.

 

Well, little bit extravagant, but there is seed of thruth there.

 

-You must be mediocre, like other finns have said.

 

-We are very serious people. Scifi/fantasy and all sorts of "overnatural" things are for kids. People who like those things and aint kids, should become more "adult".

 

- Connected to that ^ : No much scifi from tv. Gosh, X-Files are propably only scifi show that other people than "nerds" and "weirdos" have liked.

 

- Racism.

 

But after all, I like Finland

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Portugal.

 

Goddamn freakish celebrity cults.

[metadigital]

It doesn't if you see everything as a "right" that is granted as a rite.

 

Having a later drinking age makes more sense when you think about the scale of death, injury and illness and the subsequent cost to society that this means.

 

Similarly, for example, there is quite a movement to decriminalize marijuana: current research would indicate that (for those in danger of psychotic ill-effects) the age of greatest susceptibility extends into early twenties. And that is only considering the personal harm and costs to society for treatment.

Strange rules we have. You are old enough to enlist in the military, put your life on the line with the chance to die, yet you can not drink?

Thats a dumb rule. You are old enough to go to war and die for your country, but you aren't allowed to drink.

What the hell is up with that rule. If someone's going to put their mug in the line of fire, the very least we should offer is to fill it up. When sh*t goes down and bullets are zipping past my ears, I know what I'd want by my side - a good flask of whiskey (and some grenades)!

[Deraldin]

It's because they want you to kill people from other countries and not people from your own country. "

[metadigital]

I know! Let's issue a hipflask with every rifle!

[Volourn]

Stopping people fromd rinking 'til they are 21 doesnt stop death. This is a fact. Adults of all ages cause drinking and driving accidents.

 

It's funny, the age limit here in Kanada is 19 yet we're no worse off in these terms than our Southern enighbours.

 

It's a dumb law by the US. And, Kanada. Age limit should be 18. At maximum. Period.

[Dark_Raven]

At one time it was 18 in the States, than they decided to raise it to 21.

[Krookie]

Well, when my dad was in his late teens the New Jersey age was 21, and the New York age was 18. Get in a car, go across the George Washington Bridge and drink all you want.

No, the broad nasal accent of the worst of the Australians is appalling. Worse than a Kiwi accent. Almost.

Was that in the time of The Holy Roman Empire ?!?

 

I know those emperors partially created the mess we see today in the Balkans, but still...

 

But yeah, them austrians do have funny accents. So do Danes btw. when they try to speak english. In my old company, they had a game where newcomers should guess the different nationalities in the team. Danes (me included) were easy to pick out due to our accents :">

[Musopticon?]

If you would just unclodge the hot potato from ye mouth once in a while, people would probably understand a whole lot better. :D

My tongue can't adjust to English, tis silly language lacks the glutaral beauty of Danish.

 

Oh and Mus, you wouldn't happen to have that link Mkreku posted of Finnish disco talk would ya?

Edited March 26, 2006 by Lucius

[Musopticon?]

Now that you mentioned it, no, I don't think I have the link.

 

Would you mind...?

Edited March 26, 2006 by Musopticon?

[Rosbjerg]

Especially the "Jysk" version of English ... :ph34r: shivers run down my spine whenever I hear it..

 

but then any kind of Danish accent in English sounds horrific to me...

[Musopticon?]

I'm curious, why is there such a huge contigent of Danes here? I can't see many Norrs or Swedes, but there seems to be a Dane for every thread nowadays.
