Underage liquor sales are a real problem in Portland. Here's part of an article from the local paper:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alcohol sting sheds light on a source of the problem


Portland Press Herald (ME) July 27, 2004
Page A10


An undercover sting operation initiated by the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department has proven to be very worthwhile, not to mention disturbing.


The results of the operation showed that minors were able to purchase alcohol at liquor-selling stores in as often as 80 percent of the attempts that were made.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, obtaining a license or permit isn't the same as actually owning a weapon. Yeah, I'd have a real problem with minors carrying handguns. But, as an adult, it's your right to be able to protect your own life. And if your life is threatened, it's comforting to know that you've got the means to defend yourself. Obviously, anyone in their right mind hopes that deadly force will never be needed. It truly does suck that this is what the world has come to. But I'm more of a realist than an idealist. I don't have to like something to accept it. Now it would just be my luck to be the first guy shot by a one year old. Kinda like Maggie shooting Mr Burns.

When you say underage sales of alcohol are bad in Portland, are the kids that are buying liquor 10 months old or 20 years old? IN the states it would seem you can own a gun license at 10 months, own a gun at 14 years, but fuck don't have a beer until you're 21 son!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I honestly feel sorry for people who live in a country where carrying a gun offers peace of mind that one day it will save your life. Thank god I live in Australia. Shot by a one year old, it would be some sort of poetic comedy right? haha. I put this article up more to highlight the apathy by whatever association hands out these licenses and the apathy shown by the general community and their views on guns in society

to each there own , thats what makes the world go around !!!

the only thing currently you have to worry about in your country is dying for lack of water , it seems to be a fact that there is becoming a major problem .. I guess it could be from living with B,O due to lack of being able to bath due to water shortage .. either by guns or other means were all going to leave this earth in one way or another ..it doenst much matter how or when ..

as usual Americans only listen to the part of the news they wish to. Yes their are drought problems in my country but here is a free tip for you, I live in the City. Believe it or not they exist outside the USA. I am right on the coast where rainfall is plentiful! It is in the country where they need the water.

Please tell me what global warming has to do with rainfall? It still rains despite the fact average temps might by slightly higher.

I am not taking anything personal, I am just pointing out idiocy. Do I have baths? No I shower. Redneck
