This is a discussion and a poll about the teen driving crisis. It has been proven that many teen drivers are extremely wreckless. Teens are obtaining drivers licencses too easily, and they are text messaging, messing around, not paying attention to the road.... and for the male teens they are not only doing that but trying to race and drive extremely carelessly, do crazy stunts to impress their friends, etc.

I am not saying all teens are irresponsible behind the wheel, but many certainly are, and it really is becomming a crisis. This is the number one cause for teen death in America. Just a few days ago, 5 young girls were killed in a head on collision because the driver decided to talk on the phone, and text at the same time. Her silly decision causted her life, and four other lives.

Teens (in general... not all) just aren't very mature to begin with. Each year they are taking thousands of lives (not just their own) because they are just in general too immature, and do not fully understand how important it is to be safe behind the wheel.

In my personal opinion, they should still be able to get a driverse license at age 16, but there will be really strict regulations until age 18.

1) The drivers test must be harder, and you MUST drive with an instructer for more than 30 minutes before being able to obtain a license.

2) You may not drive with a friend in the car until after 6 months of driving. Then you may not drive with more than 1 friend in the car until you are 18 years old.

3) If you receive more than one speeding ticket per year, your license will immediately be revoked until you are 18 years old, and if you receive a ticket for wreckless driving at least once, your license will be restricted until 18.

4) Something must be done about this. There must be strict driving rules in place to drastically bring down the death toll list.

Opinions?

See, and that is such a great thing that we are all agreeing so far in this topic. Diversity is just so awesome. It is just... amazing. We are such a diverse nation, but we can all come together and work together, play together, etc.

It just brings a smile to my face. We are all different, but we should all support each other. Recognize each other. It's wonderful. :D

I support a partnership. Marriage is an oath under God. And according to the Bible gay marriage shouldnt be. Sooo partnership not marriage. its that simple.Deathxcore

Yeah, you might be onto something there. You see, I would be in favor of calling it a partnership, or a union... or whatnot. That would make perfect sense. HOWEVER, any other "partnership" (including Christian partnerships... or marriage... whatever) would have to be called a Partnership or a Civil Union under the government law. Not their own spiritual law. That means that if you want to be a joined couple with the government, it can't be called marriage... even if you are Christian. Why? Because we should seperate church from state. Everyone would be equal.

Do you support the legalization of gay marriage in all of the states, and not just one? What is your reasoning? Do you think it is justified without the use of religion?

My opinion: I support gay marriage 100%. It is not people's fault that they are gay It is not people's fault that they are straight or bisexual. Those things cannot be controlled. They are deep, emotional feelings and attractions. You can't change who you are, or who you are attracted to.

There isn't a single valid, legal reason why gay marriage should be banned. Remember: Marriage isn't even about religion. Marriage is a government activity. You sign paperwork and documents, and you get a marriage license. Then, if you want to have a religious ceremony--that is fine. However, it does nothing except something spiritual for you. Remember: Atheists get married, non-religious people get married, Hindus and others get married.... so obviously the legality has nothing to do with religion.

So, that is why you can't even bring religion into this debate. That would not only have absolutely nothing to do with the law, but it would also imply that you are trying to govern a nation on your personal religious beliefs.
