Is anyone else angered by prymetyme's misuse of "there", "they're", and "their"?

Im not sure, depends on how many people love to be pedantic for a living or have heart attacks over spelling mistakes like that.
I personally feel that if I know what he is saying then forget it.

almost as much as when DS uses "then" instead of "than" ;)

yea well, it's nothing personal but that's American education for ya. I know plenty of people in their 30's and 40's who still have problems like that and they were born here.

Educated for 17 years in American schools and I don't think I've ever made that mistake, tbh.
I get more pissed off at barely legible "TxT speak" or whatever its called. Luckily texting isn't as popular in the US... yet.

Europe trip in ballance as my best friend gets fine for underage drinking.. I am the luckiest man in the world though I didn't and really lucked out in the proccess. Hopefully his folks don't find out and somehow prevent him from going. :(
edit: btw, ******** the American drinking age limit it is ********ing ridiculous, there is absolutelly NO reason for it, AT ALL. If someone can tell me a decent reason for it not to be 18 or even 19. Or why someone should have to pay for it, then I will give you a rep.

The USA's drinking age is a joke. It's farcical to think that somebody has to be twenty-f'n-one to drink over there, and how seriously the authorities treat underage drinking (at least from what I understand).
EDIT: I also had this typed up BEFORE Striker added his edit.

These guys were undercover at a public event and saw my other friends swirling his coke bottle after coming out of the bathroom, so they decide to search my other friends pockets. Although for some reason my loaded one didn't have an effect on their noses...

There is also plenty of evidence that setting the drinking age to 21 actually hurts more than it helps. Can't tell you the number of kids you see going to college who have never had more than a glass of wine or something to drink before. They have no idea what their limits are, they go crazy surrounded by alcohol, and end up flunking out because of it. Additionally, the fact that its illegal adds a certain effect for kids.
Cops and their raids on bars... I'm guessing it has to do with drawing fines from bar owners for serving to minors. Ridiculous really.

The thing is, as well-known as we are for our drink over here (and trust me, kids [13/14-16 usually] in fields with excessive amounts of alcohol is commonplace, to put it mildly), once we hit 18/19 it is no problem to most to go out to a pub or club at night with friends (who may or may not be drinking heavily) and only have 4 or so pints if you have a reason to not be drinking (work/college the next day, for example). Again - from what I understand - the vast majority of Americans aged 18-20 are entirely incapable of this, for the most part.

Basically. From 18-20, for most people "going out drinking" means getting plastered as quickly as possible, especially in a college environment which encourages that so much. That's not to say that all kids that age do; some just aren't into drinking at all, some are really focused on school, etc.
The problem is less so at better schools, but it exists to some extent at pretty much every school or suburban neighborhood. If you remove the whole "taboo" aspect of alcohol, I think it'd go a long ways towards alleviating the problem.
I had drank a bit in high school, though nothing huge, maybe 4-5 nights out with friends. But that at least helped me understand alcohol's effects on me, and especially in the presence of people like that. I just didn't see much reason as a result to get shit-faced at college. Plus it helps to be in one of the top engineering programs in the country--you don't get much of a second chance there if you ******** up from partying and the like.

The thing that pisses me off most of all in drinking age is that apparently if you are 18-20, you are old enough to go to war, kill people and risk your own life day in and day out, but drinking - no way.
