social class....social profiling

in todays culture we are labeled based on our wealth. the more affluent you are the higher up on the social scale you are. life seems to be alot easier if you are higher up. you get the perks to get the loan to buy the house in the neighborhood to get your kids into the good public school where you pay higher taxes to get a better education, to get into a better school to get a good job to make alot of money to meet a spouse to have kids to raise them in a good neighborhood.... and so on. whereas if you are in the lower class you struggle to find work you get a low paying job where you can barely struggle to make ends meat to pay your rent to stay in your house then you have a child who grows up malnurished or lightly educated and in turn they drop out of highschool get a low paying job that they barely make ends meat in and you all struggle to survive... and this cycle perpetuates itself because of the direct money flow. rich people buy alot so we spend money to lure them into impulse buys and all this money is wasted for this event to occure. when we could be spending this money on better wealfare or better low income housing and most importantally better schools.

teen socialisation or teen boredom...

in the world of tens what are we really alowed to do... we cant drive till 16, but ciggaretts pornography, weapons, lottery tickets, see rated r movies, buy mature games, or even vote. so that leaves us with what... our imagination and crayons. i belive the biggest problem in america with drinking and car accidents is boredom. kids drink in excess where... at parties which usually involve marajuana ( which causes significantly less death) and liquor. so minus the factor of "weed" that leaves us with the "jesus juice" that causes theese problems. people drink then they drive then they die. so i belive that if we did lower the drinking age it would lessen the "forbidden fruit" argument and we could moniter drinking. people in bars are less likely to "drink themselves to death than others. so i pose it to you, do we allow kids to drink in an unsafe environment and end up drinking to much or do we allow them to go to bars and get tipsy to their little hearts desire but be safe??
