Help me prevent MORE discrimination by sending just 1 EMAIL
« on: June 09, 2010, 02:53:34 AM »
I need you guys to help me out. I'm not from your country but my country has the drinking age at 18 and they want to increase it to 20. Please help me stop this.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP STOP THIS HAPPENING?

Send this EMAIL to the following addresses:

s.power@ministers.govt.nz
s.joyce@ministers.govt.nz
j.key@ministers.govt.nz
r.hide@ministers.govt.nz
t.turia@ministers.govt.nz
p.dunne@ministers.govt.nz
phil.goff@parliament.govt.nz
lianne.dalziel@parliament.govt.nz
j.collins@ministers.govt.nz

Hi, This is a group email on behalf of thousands of people.Please do NOT increase the age to buy and drink alcohol to 20 years old. Please keep the age to buy and drink alcohol at 18 years old. 18 years old is old enough to become a Police Officer so it should always be old enough to buy and drink alcohol. Please don't have a ZERO alcohol limit for under 20 year old drivers as it will make criminals out of 18 and 19 year olds who drink ANY amount of alcohol. Also please do NOT force bars and nightclubs to close at a certain time and do NOT force bars and nightclubs to deny entry to people after a certain time. Also please keep the driving age at 15 years old.

Post here once you have sent the Emails.

Thanks

18 years old may be the age that young adults can become police officers, but not all young adults are qualified to be police officers.    I have no issue with it honestly, and as a former casualty adjuster I can say emphatically there is no way on God's green earth a 15 year old should be driving.   God help us.

There are some states that allow driving as young as 14 years old, right here in the US. There has to be extenuating circumstances, though. I learned to drive when I was 15, but I had to be "supervised". I don't think that 15 is too young to drive. However, that all depends on the intellectual maturity of the young driver. Hell, nowadays, it's people over 65 that seem to be the bane of other drivers around my area. At least that's what I've observed. Then you have the tards on their cell phones and the damned Okies.

I was 12 when my dad first let me sit behind the wheel and have full control of the car.  Of course it was way out in the country.
