He legitimately believes they're one in the same
Morality is objective, but this subject has zip to do with morality.

You're not immoral if you drink--you're just a fucking idiot.
"factually"

I suppose this guy must have been pretty dumb, too?
If the most intelligent person who ever lived could have his intelligence represented by the number 1,000,000, it would drop to 999,999,000 if he drank.

In other words, intelligent people are capable of doing bumfuck retarded-ass shit.

They're not harming you or anyone else. You get unhappy all by yourself.
Because it's.. factually stupid
how many times do we have to tell you that this isnt true before you get it through your thick skull that your personal feelings dont equate to objective truth?
I can't prove my own argument right, so you have to prove it wrong.

The drinking age should always reflect the age of majority. There is nothing inherently wrong with drinking responsibly. Getting dangerously intoxicated as verb is implying is obviously bad, but it's not the norm that he seems to believe it is.
well, it depends on the circle you travel in. fraternity/sorority culture is usually pretty supportive of dangerous binge drinking for example.


and this isnt directly related to the above, but just so we have a handy source for future reference:

http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/overview-alcohol-consumption/alcohol-facts-and-statistics

Quote
Adults (ages 18+): 16.6 million adults ages 18 and older3 (7.0 percent of this age group4) had an AUD in 2013. This includes 10.8 million men3 (9.4 percent of men in this age group4) and 5.8 million women3 (4.7 percent of women in this age group4).

Quote
Youth (ages 12–17): In 2013 an estimated 697,000 adolescents ages 12–176 (2.8 percent of this age group7) had an AUD. This number includes 385,000 females6 (3.2 percent of females in this age group7) and 311,000 males6 (2.5 percent of males in this age group7).
>.> Safety-wise, it's for the better. But legally, it's questionable, I think.

Firstly, obviously, the age of majority is legal adulthood, period.

Secondly, regarding the folks who could drink at 18 and then couldn't, the government can grant rights but it can't take them away.

Thirdly, placing a restriction or taking away a right on the basis of what might happen in a minority of cases doesn't really work as a valid argument, partly because the majority shouldn't have to be punished for the irresponsibility of the minority.

Serious / Re: Does Snopes.com have a political lean
« on: January 19, 2016, 03:50:39 PM »
You're quite clearly implying that they only have to be held to the standard of a snopes article, which is bullshit.
Viral videos should be generally taken with a grain of salt. Even if the basic claims may have be valid, there can a ton of ways to exaggerate the claims, and it's usually not worth the effort to debunk it. See below.

You're also judging the entirety of the website on one article by one author. It doesn't account for more fact-based articles like this or this or this. Snopes has often been accused of political bias, but these claims are shaky at best.

Because snopes didn't move heaven and earth to debunk a barrage of alleged migrant clips doesn't mean that there's bias to be found. Given that the video is viral and not, like, being picked up by the mainstream media likely means that snopes simply didn't care to put in a major effort. They could, but the early evidence (and your own lack of), plus their reluctance to actually put a true/false icon like their other articles, seems to indicate they're being reasonably fair with the little amount of effort put into it compared to their other articles.
Quote
What's your point? It's a very short article and the part that attempts to debunk the video is even shorter
Quote
That's the entire point of this discussion, snopes and you are claiming the whole thing's bullshit without doing anything to back that claim up.
Snopes already made a few points. But my point is also about the bigger problem with debunking the video:


Quote
The video doesn't make any claims though, it's literally a compilation of videos of events that happened.
You'd have to be mentally incompetent to reach that conclusion after watching the video.
Quote
Wrong, the video is also about Muslims already living in European countries, which you or snopes would only know about if you actually watched the video.
"With Open Gates"

That title heavily implies refugees.

18 seconds into the video:

"Germany is facing a drastic number of refugees"

45 seconds:

"...migrants who had already been flooding into Europe for decades"
