Civ guy done good. Look for me on CNN.

Damn!!! they didn't give you much time Oz!!

you barely had time to argue your point, and i like the way you shot down the study on 10th graders....the look on her face was priceless!

good job, and goodluck in your big job!

1. It was rather interesting just to see a fellow Civver in real life (well, TV life).

2. I thought you did well to keep the focus on "initial drinking age is irrelevent".

3. Effective refutation of the study she set so much store by.

4. The camera made you a bit nervous, though, didn't it?

5. Your appearance on camera is serious, thoughtful and academic. Don't know if that is good or bad, but that was my impression.

6. I had hoped you might be able to get in the suggestion that it is our social prohibition against social family drinking of beer and wine that causes such a drastic change at legal drinking age, but I didn't see where you had an opportunity to bring that up either.

7. I think from now on you will be "Mr" OzzyK to me. A tip of the hat for a good job under stressful circumstances!

Ok thats done, now everyone grab a beer and get on with playing Civ.

Sounds like it went well. Congrats on a job well done. Though I definetly disagree with you, I respect the fact that you're fighting for what you believe in Oz. Most people don't have the courage to stand up and speak like you did.

hi oz, being from enland i did'nt get to see you moment of glory, but i feel the issue regarding the drinking age boils down to at what age a society confers full citizenship on it's members, in england we have the same sort a situation where you can drive at 17, married 16, vote 18, drink 18 etc.

perhaps the silliest one over here is the fact you can vote at 18 but not be voted for until you're 21, so are you part of the democratic process or not?

there should be one age for every right, it's just a matter of deciding that age as most of the decision makers can't even remember being 18

[cavebear]

Reds - I disagree mildly. Why should we become suddenly skilled at activities invlving different intellectual, physical, and psychological skills at the same time? I think it makes sense to decide on each thing as a separate matter. Note that I am not saying what those years should be, just suggesting that they should be determined individually.

[SunTzu]

I missed it I feel that the drinking age should be 16, drive at 16 and drink at 16 goodie the drinking age shoudl be 18 seriously. I'm 17, about to turn 18. I can barely pass as a 21 year old. I lost my fake id So i gotta go 'w/o an ID' I'd like to vote now. And i'd like to vote when i was 16 cause i mean damn, i watched all of the politics and stuff ect......GO BUSH!

[Rasputin]

hey simply make driving/voting/sex consent/drinking age all the same. say set it for 30 !!!!!

well done ozz. now back ot the GAMES
