And yes you will be banned, not because anyone is being a dick, but because it's the rules and it's a serious liability issue.
Reminds me of another part of my German ancestory
Really? Are you comparing the forum to Nazi's?
Think about it from the perspective of the company that runs this place? You start posting about underage drinking/brewing and then more underage people start to hear about the place. Some parent gets wind of this and starts a fuss. Get a couple politicians onboard and this place gets shut down. You lose one of the biggest brewing resources on the internet. If not the biggest resource. All because you wanted to talk about brewing.
I don't have issue with you brewing personally. I wish the drinking age were 18, but it's not. There was a very simple way for you to come in and contribute here but instead you took the wrong path.
Didn't mean to be offensive or anything and I wasn't calling out the site at all, I love this site, I was more running my mouth about the law in this country, I thought we were free and had a first ammendment. Sorry. And yes maybe I should have went about it differently.
1st ammendment said:Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Where the hell are the mods?!?!
The first ammendment?!!?!?!!?!?!!
Have you read the 1st?
The owner of this forum chooses to follow existing laws; and Congress isn't involved here, so that "1st ammendment" arguement doesn't apply....
You must truly be underage if you think that of the 1st ammendment
Where the hell are the mods?!?!
FREEDOM OF SPEECH, this site is not selling me beer right.
Again, have you read the 1st?
"Congress shall make no law....abridging the freedom of speech"
However, the person that owns this site does not answer to Congress. He follows the laws of this country...
Are you sure you're even 19??????
Darn trolls. He's just trying to stir the waters.
Congress makes the laws for our country. Anyway why would me being here be against the law for the owner of the site, they are not selling anything?
Did you read my post? All it would take is for some uppity mom or dad of a teenager to find out they were hanging out here. They could cause plenty of trouble for the owner of the site. It's not worth it for them, they are better off taking a hard stance and avoiding any potential legal issues.

I started at 15 so it been almost 5 years (turn 20 in April). Why is that weird???? Brewing has taught me a respect and admiration for a drink that many my age abuse. I think that if more youngsters learned the craft it would be very beneficial to society. I don't drink beer to get drunk and I never have, I drink beer for many other reasons, to connect me with my heritage, to enhance a great meal, because I love the complex flavors, etc. I appreciate it for what it is. I entered this site to learn more about a great Hobie/lifestyle and I think if I were to get banned for my age that would be very sad. Why would someone want to discourage learning and appreciation of such a great thing?
I mean think about it, I was spending time learning an the ancient art of my ancestors, learning about mashing and yeast biology and all that great stuff, when most kids my age are/were binge drinking with Keystone and Coors. So if the monitors of this site want to ban me just please think about it first.
Okay, I've been drinking and reading this thread is making my head hurt.
or maybe a "test" by mods to see how the populace handles things - in anticipation of Egypt-style riots?!
see Wyld, ya scared the bloke off. now arrrrrr! you happy??
