I bet it's still 18 to join the military

Puritan society has a few special rules regarding nudity.

Reference point:The military bans alcohol from minors, but a soldier under the age of 18 is allowed to kill.

In the U.S., you can't join up, unless you're 18.

I have mixed feelings about the 21 to strip law. Obviously, if you're an adult at 18, and subject to the responsibilities of an adult, you should enjoy the perks, and be allowed to exercise free will....like choose your career path.

BUT...sometimes I wonder if maybe 18 is grown up. I didn't make the best decisions at 18. Maybe it all needs to be raised to 21.

Of course. For the people that make the laws we live under you don't expect them to go and die for some dumb ass reason that suits them, when they can just send some young impoverished kid in their place instead.

Aren't the Republicans taking jobs away from strippers who are 18-21? How many girls have been put out of work? I thought the GOP was all for job growth.

Don't confuse the argument by introducing facts.

I never thought I'd see Texas labeled a Puritan society.

There are conservative people in every country / state.

In Finland, most people are conservative.

That's not what their last election suggested.

In the last election, the Liberals received the most votes, but this is because most Finns have lost confidence in politics and therefore they will no longer vote.

I want to talk about the stripper situation and that situation only. I used to be a floor manager at a strip club in Austin called The Yellow Rose. Before I was a floor manager I was at the door. One of my responsibilities was to card the strippers too. What a pain in the ass dealing with those goofy sluts! My cokehead manager tells me to put a wristband on the girls under 21. I mentioned it might be better the other way around but he told me to do as I was told so I did. Those idiot under 21s were passing out backstage left and right after ripping off their wristbands. It would have been a lot less hassle to have all the girls over 21 for that and those reasons.

Finland had a 72% turnout in its last election so your measure of 'most' falls a bit short.

Bummer. I was hoping you had some insight into Finnish politics. Other than staring at pics of Sanna Marin, I got nothing.

I ain't know much about Finland people politic. I did screw one of their women if that gives me some expertise considering the venue here.

And which opinion polls have told you that, or have you been out on the streets of Helsinki with your microphone?

You know the world is turned upside down when Dino is trying to bring a thread back on topic.

Nice try. Your little link there clearly states post-election feelings. Which was not what we're talking about.

Like gmase said, 72% of the population voted at the last election. However much you try and move the goalposts, you're wrong.
