Using URL-catching technology to save lives
TomAlciere:
If the courts strike down the underage drinking laws, legislators would scramble to pass some serious DWI laws, which would save a lot more lives.

You have got to be kidding me! Encouraging or trying to lift laws to allow underage drinking has got to be one of the most irresponsible ideas I have ever heard of.

However, the people who support the laws do not own the victims of the laws, and do not have a right to wield their police force as a weapon of unprovoked violence against innocent outvoted discrimination victims who are not violating anybody's rights, simply drinking responsibly, the beverage of their choice.
Furthermore, an outvoted discrimination victim, offered a chance to drink, is likely to accept the offer, because these offers don't happen every day, you know. Kind of like adults on licensed premises at last call might not want another drink, but will order one anyway, because it is their last chance. The outvoted discrimination victims get into the habit of drinking every chance they get, and as they get older, the chances happen more often.
They can buy coffee at any age, and 24 hours a day, at the convenience store on the corner. Therefore, there is no pressure to drink too much coffee.
Furthermore, the ones who don't drink, or who drink and don't drive, are not much safer for the drinking age, http://udadd.com/memorial.html The point of the site is that the government imposes the drinking age on innocent people INSTEAD OF punishing the criminals...leading to many of these double-victim cases.

@ TomAlciere
I would very much like to velcome you at DonationCoder - the forum for software connoisseurs. However, I must first state that I find your ideas lacking wisdom. Very much, indeed. The truth is that your attitude is the very same attitude that brought Denmark to be the first country in the world to legalize porn, "let us allow booze for the youngsters, then they will get accustomed to alcohol and don't abuse it when (if) they grow up and get a driver's license". But the truth is also that most Danes have learned their lesson since then, and now regrets this foolish law. And so they will again if youngsters were allowed to drink.
My point is that I understand your opinion on this, but life has taught me and millions of other people that it is lack of wisdom. It is like shooting your kid in the foot. Nothing less!

I am amazed at how flawed your logic is. So much so that there is no point continuing any discussions on this matter. Have a great day...

You are entitled to your wrong opinion, but you cannot, by holding that opinion, acquire the right to wield your police force as a weapon of unprovoked violence against innocent people, to intimidate them into giving up their right to drink. Enemies of liberty get away with this only because the victims are not yet ready to take your weapon away from you.

Wanna see something FUNNY?
Go to http://maddga.org and you will see the site for the hate-mongering MADD bigots' chapter for the State of Georgia.
Now go to http://maddaz.org and see it redirect to http://www.madd.org/az for the Arizona chapter.
At http://maddmi.org you see the Michigan chapter.
Something of a pattern, isn't it?
Well, what would you think would be the domain for MADD California?
Type it in and see what I have there.
